Ultimately, it boils down to whether or not cinema as we know it can survive in a world where people have access to thousands of hours of content over various streaming services at the tip of their fingers? Right now, the answer is unclear.

James Cameron is a director who only makes epic films. This is the guy who was able to turn a tragic boat accident into a must-see blockbuster spectacle in “Titanic.” Obviously, he’s the man who also crafted films such as “T2: Judgment Day,” “Aliens,” and “Avatar.” Point is—this guy knows what makes a film truly epic.

Denis Villeneuve can’t hide his nerves, and sense of wonder, when he meets James Cameron (over international Zoom, with Villeneuve in Los Angeles and Cameron in New Zealand).“It’s an honor for me to talk with you,” the 54-year-old director of “Arrival” tells the 67-year-old director of “Aliens.” “I’ve been a massive fan of your work, sir, since … a long time.”“Don’t make me feel too old now,” Cameron replies with a smile.Soon enough, though, these two celebrated directors are geeking out like

Canadian-born “Avatar” director James Cameron says the four planned sequels to his 2009 moneymaker are a big gamble when it comes to the box office.

The original “Avatar” was a massive hit for 20th Century Fox (pre-Disney merger) and most recently recovered its all-time global box office record from “Avengers: Endgame” thanks to a re-release in China.
