James Cameron interview at Comic-Con 2009 Talks 'Avatar

[chedwiggins]

The seagulls will be silent! Cameron is talking.

[182fca]

What is that guy doing to Sigourney Weaver behind Jim at 0:30?

[millicentbistander]

So true. "The makings of" ruin everything. 

[rasheedzee]

lol, James Cameron looks like he's perpetually pissed, but he's really just a "nose Breather"

[MrJoima]

L'avatar c'est cool, ok ! Mais on devret aussi savoir que : Tous ceux ki sont riches deviendront pauvres, les pauvres deviendront riches. Et personne n'a pas la machine ni la patate pour change ça ! Car, ils sont en train de devenir majoritaire, et ça, sera plus beau qu'AVATAR!

[ZippoPlease]

LOL random lady in the back at 5:10

[Theo2kitty]

i really want him to not just make a sequal.. (really don't want a sequal) but a prequal becuase some of us really want to know how the humans came to pandorah i mean, they didn't just suddenly pop over there, and how the school to teach english became real and so on...

Question for James: are you thinking of making a prequal?

[jca23]

James Cameron > Jesus Christ

[MovieMan2117]

James Cameron did an amazing job on Avatar and i cant wait to back to pandora that movie was so amazing i diddent get to see in 3D i wanted thow i wish it would come out on 3D in blu ray ....this movie is not like something i ever seen like Star Wars or Harry Potter it is something diffent and better like James says it did capture something this movie was amazing and cant wait for the 2 and 3 one ...Avatar is just an amazing film!!

[Johnlindsey289]

@MovieMan2117

I know and it's just awesome. If you like this movie you should check out Castle in The Sky, Princess Mononoke, nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Willow, Last of the Mohicans, Wizards, Dune (Any) and My Neighbor Totoro for similar movies.

[hbarad93]

this interview sucks! camera, sound?! bs.

[editoresLyrsa]

James Cameron el director de Avatar tiene 9 nominaciones al Oscar, pero en un principio su familia no estaba del todo de acuerdo con su profesión.

[Swachitsky]

haha sigourney was behind him or i'm seeing her in everywhere ? LOL !

[TheMerrle]

is that really sigourney in the background? i think so, she looks like her ^^

[guitarmageddon666]

wat an embarassing display of journalistic professionalism with such a piss poor interview equally matched with camera work of a porno

[FlashpointCharlie]

real directors don't use tripods

[aspacguy1]

Ii don't think he had the grasp on dec 19 on how the movie will turn out

[LesPaul2006]

All that discussion about technology... do you guys know a handy artifact called a tripod??

[delchavez]

I just got back from seeing the film and man, you just gotta "see" it. Ya dont really watch it though. You more like, experience it. There are some themes that have been used in the past but they are presented in a fresh way and by the end of the movie it's not neccessarily the visuals that stick in your head, its the themes of morality and nature vs profit and love being unconditional among all living things. Havent seen this movie? Go see it NOW. Then go see it again, I know I will.

[FerociousFox]

I'm going to see it for a FOURTH time one of these days.

[JazzHendrix]

well said mewrth

[mewrth]

Such a humble down-to-earth guy, bravo for Avatar James!

[sirenox2]

Its very true when he says that we love movies to death these days. i find watching a movie so much more enjoyable when i know nothing or a basic outline of what its about rather than watching all the trailers and seeing all the actor interviews.

i hardly knew a thing about avatar other than the absolute size and when i saw it, it blew me away. i dont think i have enjoyed a film as much since 'Return of the King'

[Jeffp2k5]

JC = James Cameron or Jesus Christ?

[jonjonjonmw3]

James Christ?

[Luvs23]

yea and Avatar was like attending Mass for me.

Whooo hooo!!

[pritishsai]

Lucky bitch...I would kill 2 get an interview with the legend

[vexman7]

JAMES YOU GOT THE SECRET

[Marksman230591]

"Do you think you succeeded?"

Oh, I think he did. Over $660 million so far worldwide? And in less than 2 weeks? And still going in strong? Right now it's making more money this week than it did the last one. I think he pretty much succeeded :)

[Marksman230591]

"THE biggest success"

lol. He just couldn't hold it in :P

[monkfish1986]

gr8 interview shocking camera work

shame about the parot n plane ambiance haha

[Boshetunmai]

pure genius!

THANK YOU FOR AVATAR JAMES !!!

Pure magic!

..and for T2 of course - the movie of my life. And Alienzzzz :)))

[CDMac09]

ino avatar is brilliant and t2 was amazing too

[arcanequiver]

ending it so awkward

[kungfoolai]

wow how did u get to interview him..omg

he has got to be one of the best Movie directors ever!

has made 2 movies are are in my top 3..terminator 2 and AVATAR! :)

James Cameron you rock so bad!

[Kiryutka22]

he's great

[zukisai]

yes he succeeded. i dont know what else to say, he is fantastic.

[lfgubrs]

Is avatar gonna be a trilogy?, I really dont liked it when i first heard but if Cameron directs them all and when i had a second thought im sure it could be pretty awesome. anyway Avatar is the best movie ever made! Go Cameron! hes like god in directing

[MrHotgossip]

If you look closely the leaves in the background are actually computer generated.

[StoicPictures]

"No, THE BIGGEST" hahahaha.

[JackieEco]

good thing jc has nice lips - for all these close-ups i mean lol;)

[cjcool91]

i dont think james should do any movie based off another franchise hes too innovative

[unabomberman]

Ask Dances wih Wolves.

[higtea]

whats with the shaky camera!!!!

[gamestopcamper]

i think he should make the halo movie, can i see a show of hands that agree.

[KHII]

let him do his three avatar movies, then we'll talk

[phonebush]

he doesnt need to do a movie based on anything cuz he is way to creative. u could just get peter jackson to make a halo movie because he did a wonderful job with the lord of the rings movies

[FunBoy15]

catch james at 4:16 taking a double check at the woman running past in the dress.

[bcta302]

She must have big boobs...

[dtruth20091]

Science Fiction + James Cameron= Genius

[enfortro]

we should be worshipping this guy instead of God! (just a joke guys/girls)

[Conner2029]

A man dies and goes to heaven, an angel is escorting him around and he sees an area in heaven that looks like a Hollywood backlot.. He sees that someone is up on the roof screaming and barking out orders at the people below. The man says; "Is that James Cameron" The angel looks up and replies "No that's God he just thinks he's James Cameron" (ALSO JUST A JOKE GUYS/GIRLS)

[StoicPictures]

I already do.

[Conner2029]

"The BIGGEST success of all time" LOL Cameron truly is a fucking Legend.

[enfortro]

living legend!

[06traskm]

Cameron is a LEGEND.

[Demokrator86]

Lol Jon landau passes at 2:04.

[greatestdirector]

Landau talks to hot blond :)

[togio100]

wow. No sign of the old, cranky, obnoxious "Mij" Cameron anywhere

Maybe those deep sea documentaries calmed him down and made him less arrogant

But he still is a genius

[Tigerlily21]

Soooo intelligent. Love to hear him speak.

[MMA3013]

What a great, great, great talented man.

[delcabrone]

the man has so much power as a director, even the seagulls know when to take direction and shut up... HA!

[danimalo007]

James Cameron is a legendary director.

[gibbi8]

I could listen to James Cameron all day. He truly is the man.

[Johnlindsey289]

@gibbi8

Damn right and my 4th favorite director with Spielberg number one, Hayao Miyazaki second, Peter Jackson third and Cameron fouth.

[Alice8000]

@gibbi8 dos that me an u wanna have a sexual with him

[TesticularImplants]

great interview!

terrible filming

unstabi-cam

[enronify]

Shots which look real instantly really count !

It seems his comments also capture the truth instantly.

[eteuatitema1]

The way he speaks, he's a really intelligent guy which makes him such a great director. He really is straight to the point, he doesn't take shit from no one, I guess that's why he does so well, he knows what he wants and really believes in his craft in his own expertise. Man he is such a pioneer, inspiration, top at the top of directors easy.

[togio100]

and to think he used to a machinist, janitor, and a truck driver before he worked for Corman in the 70s

He's been everywhere and don everything. That's why he makes such great spectacle films with a human heart

[gooslimm]

Man this guy is unbelievable. He just can't seem to put a word wrong and he is always straight to the point. So down to earth as well. Can't wait for it.

[drunkdonutboy]

Man I love this guy.

[TheSaraSKY]

I cant wait when the future of watching movies is having movies has Holograms( i guess it would be 4-d), so we may actually see the actors and their enviroment has life size...and cant wait to see the Avatar!!!

[Debono11]

Humans cannot see in 4D.

If we ever have holographic entertainment, it's still 3D.

[KenFan4life]

I was just waiting til he shouted "I'm Rick James Bitch!".....for some reason, idk.

he should be more cocky....

[rainforestelf]

I love this man. He is so arrogant, but I love him.

[steelfukksw]

James Cameron is right though about the fucking gargle that will be unloaded onto the fucking mainframes after the first peek of this fucker though. lmfao I can already see the fucking crays smoldering at youtube "are fucking server is smoking!" other fat slob at console,"you mean cigarettes? hardy har!"

It will be Like Maddox, you love James Cameron's work or you do not, there is no oh "he's cool, ie the Stanley kubrick reference >>>It's big or it's not, not like it's mediocore in any sense.T1

[conradhw]

..respect for cameron for creating another unique world to get lost into.. no generic star trek overhauling or reboots.. originality is what counts. the story/world/vibe destincts it from others, that's what matters..

[ocp188]

amazing.

[stacyINC]

James Cameron is wonderful!! This movie sounds good but GIVE US A TRAILER

[WinterWineStudio]

we're just 3 days away from the official trailer debut:)

[steelfukksw]

you serious?

[stacyINC]

I KNOW AWESOME!!! ONE more day now!

[navylaks2]

Its the Movie God

[Drewmachine]

Awesome interview, can not wait for this movie...but you'd think Variety could have coughed up a couple hundred bux for a tripod lol.

[steelfukksw]

LMFAO

[truescully]

he's godam right.... no spoilers makes the discovery more intense !

[youngmachete]

what a great interview. cameron's got an unmatched passion.

[JamesCameronOnline]

cool interview

[wolfman8325]

Avatar will be amazing - but because its such an expensive film to make I hop they dont make it PG or 12s to try and make more profit - i want a proper adult orientated sci-fi - but they could easily sacrifice some of the crude language or frightening situations for younger viewers. I hope they dont.

[45axelh]

look at dark knight, hugely grossing but still not pg.

[Ashhong1]

you're going to need a parent to watch this then

[TWhizz45]

who is the camera man?? stop shaking that shit!...good interview though.

[RoosterBooster25]

very good interview

[metube12]

Oh, this man is a genius! The world will be blown away by Avatar. Can't WAIT for the trailer!

[Inkidna]

Amazing;

that James Cameron has the gift to make SEAGULLS shut the hell up.

...seagulls, damnit.
