James Cameron Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Kate Winslet is reflecting on her shot to stardom after starring in Titanic.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Kate Winslet said in a new interview with Net-a-Porter that she actively took roles in smaller, independent films after the record-breaking success of “Titanic” because the fame that resulted in starring in James Cameron’s epic was “horrible.” Winslet was just 22 years old when “Titanic” opened in 1997 and became a cultural phenomenon. It won 11 Oscars, including best picture, and became the highest-grossing film of all time, as well as the first to gross $1 billion worldwide. To say it turned Winslet and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio into overnight superstars would be an understatement.

James Cameron’s 1997 film “Titanic” made her feel, well, “horrible.” “I felt like I had to look a certain way or be a certain thing, and because media intrusion was so significant at that time, my life was quite unpleasant,” Winslet, 48, told Porter magazine for their cover story. “Journalists would always say, ‘After “Titanic,” ‘ you could have done anything and yet you chose to do these small things,” Winslet continued.

Though he keeps hinting at the possibility of working on something outside of the ‘Avatar’ universe, it really does sound as if James Cameron will continue to make movies in that franchise until he decides it’s time to retire. With two films released and three more in various stages of development, there just doesn’t seem like there will ever be time for Cameron to venture outside of that universe.

Look, in the lead-up to “Avatar: The Way of Water,” I was a non-believer. I forgot the first rule of Hollywood blockbusters—Never doubt James Cameron.

Todd Gilchrist editor Even among James Cameron’s epic and frequently arduous productions, from “Titanic’s” nine months of filming to the three years spent on “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Abyss” was particularly ambitious — and difficult: The 1989 thriller was shot almost entirely underwater, requiring its crew and cast to learn how to shoot, and act, while using diving equipment with which many of them were completely unfamiliar. “You show up to do a diving movie, you’re going to have to dive,” says Cameron in a new clip from bonus features accompanying the film’s digital release on Tuesday.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director James Cameron revealed last month that he’s currently knee deep in the “very hectic” post-production of “Avatar 3.” Neither the director nor Disney is ready to unveil the title for “Avatar 3,” but it sounds like it won’t be “The Seed Bearer” as Cameron once considered. The titles for Cameron’s “Avatar” sequels have become social media fodder ever since November 2018 when the BBC reported the four movies would have the following names: “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Avatar: The Seed Bearer,” “Avatar: The Tulkun Rider,” and “Avatar: The Quest for Eywa.” Cameron told Entertainment Tonight in 2019: “I can neither confirm nor deny — alright, here’s what I’ll tell ya: Those titles are among titles that are in consideration.

‘Are you ready to go back to Titanic?’If anyone has fueled James Cameron’s erratic film dreams (and filled his pockets with lots of money), it’s most likely me. Although I was only 4 years-old when TITANIC hit the big screen (I hope that makes some of you feel rather old), I’ve since seen it around a billion times. On analogue television, on digital channels, at Christmas, during summer holidays, on video, on DVD, even at the cinema in 3D (yes, I was one of those people).

We’ve said it a million times, but Steven Soderbergh is one of the best innovators working in filmmaking today. No, he doesn’t push technology forward with cutting edge CGI like James Cameron.

Alison Hammond was comically punched on-screen by bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger in a hilarious segment on today's ITV's This Morning.

The angriest filmmaking fights that I’ve witnessed over the years have not been about cost or cast; they were about length. The movies were too long but so were the fights.

It would be hard to argue that “Deadpool” didn’t change the landscape of superhero/comic book adaptations. The successful R-rated “X-Men” adjacent film cemented Ryan Reynolds as a full-fledged action star and launched director Tim Miller as someone on the pulse of genre filmmaking.
