Matt Damon is looking back on his Avatar offer and revealing a fellow celebrity who freaked out upon learning about it.
John Krasinski had quite the reaction after finding out Matt Damon had turned down 2009’s “Avatar”.
James Cameron says he first warned the world of the threat AI poses in 1984, but the industry “didn’t listen”.In an interview with CTV News, the filmmaker referenced his sci-fi classic Terminator when asked what he thought of AI’s rise in the entertainment industry. “I warned you guys in 1984, and you didn’t listen,” Cameron said.Besides just the entertainment industry, Cameron also thinks that AI poses a threat in military operations: “I think that we will get into the equivalent of a nuclear arms race with AI, and if we don’t build it, the other guys are for sure going to build it, and so then it’ll escalate.
James Cameron is weighing in on AI as computer programming continues to mature and become more sophisticated. The director of Terminator made a call back to the film he also co-wrote and that Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in.
“You’re being managed on Barbie” was a snarky text I received last night, “it’s at least $130M.”
Zack Sharf Digital News Director James Cameron has no intention of using artificial intelligence to write a film script. In a new interview with CTV News, the Oscar winner expressed doubt over AI bots being able to write “a good story.” According to Cameron: “I just don’t personally believe that a disembodied mind that’s just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said — about the life that they’ve had, about love, about lying, about fear, about mortality — and just put it all together into a word salad and then regurgitate it…I don’t believe that’s ever going to have something that’s going to move an audience. You have to be human to write that. I don’t know anyone that’s even thinking about having AI write a screenplay.”
Netflix in July 2023.

For fans of the “Terminator” franchise, the second film in the series is widely considered to be the best, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger’s killing-machine cyborg is programmed to protect John Connor, not kill him.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Arnold Schwarzenegger says “The Terminator” is no longer a fantasy given the current state of artificial intelligence. Speaking at a press event in Los Angeles (via People), the actor said James Cameron’s 1984 action classic has now become a reality. The film is set in a world where an artificially intelligent defense network known as Skynet has become self-aware and has conquered humanity. “Today, everyone is frightened of it, of where this is gonna go,” Schwarzenegger said about AI. “And in this movie, in ‘Terminator,’ we talk about the machines becoming self-aware and they take over…Now over the course of decades, it has become a reality. So it’s not any more fantasy or kind of futuristic. It is here today. And so this is the extraordinary writing of Jim Cameron.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger says he believes that The Terminator has “become a reality”.According to Schwarzenegger, James Cameron’s film, which stars the former California governor, predicted the future regarding the rise of AI.Speaking at An Evening with Arnold Schwarzenegger event in Los Angeles this week (June 28), the actor said he believes the current fear of AI can be linked to the film’s plot.“Today, everyone is frightened of it, of where this is gonna go,” he said of AI. “And in this movie, in Terminator, we talk about the machines becoming self-aware and they take over.”He added that, given when the film was made in 1984 humans had only “scratched the surface of AI, artificial intelligence,” the writing was full of “brilliance”.“Now over the course of decades, it has become a reality,” he added.

K.J. Yossman Like the disaster that inspired both Titan’s name and journey, last week’s submersible disaster captured the world. Millions waited with bated breath to learn the fate of the sub’s five occupants. On Friday, after a six-day search, the Coast Guard confirmed that debris from the sub consistent with a “catastrophic implosion” had been found just 1,600 feet from the wreck of the Titanic itself. In the interim, the missing sub dominated the news cycle, prompting thousands of tweets, headlines and hot takes. Before Titan had even been located, one enterprising U.K. network commissioned and aired a documentary about the sub’s deep-sea exploration to the Titanic while Netflix has faced backlash for bringing James Cameron’s 1997 feature about the original disaster back to the streaming service (sources say the timing is a coincidence).
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Among the handful of new titles arriving on Netflix on July 1 is James Cameron’s “Titanic,” an addition that is rubbing some people the wrong way given last week’s tragedy aboard the OceanGate Titan submersible. Five members traveling inside the Titan were killed when the submersible imploded while en route to visit the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean. Some users on social media have criticized Netflix for bringing Cameron’s “Titanic” to the streaming platform so soon after the submersible tragedy. As one user wrote, “Netflix is overstepping the boundaries of decency on this timing.” Many people are accusing the streamer of attempting to capitalize on the Titan deaths by adding “Titanic” to its library.
More shocking information about the OceanGate submersible has come out.
"Titanic" director James Cameron "felt in [his] bones" that an "extreme catastrophic event" had happened to the Titan submersible as soon as he heard it had lost contact. Cameron, who has traveled to the Titanic wreckage himself 33 times, said he had "no doubt" the sub was "gone" once he heard the submersible had lost contact 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive to view the remnants of the cruise liner.

James Cameron has a great deal of experience with the difficult and potentially dangerous process of such an adventure.The wreckage site has once again gripped the public's attention after OceanGate Expeditions' tourist submersible, Titan, went missing on June 18 while carrying five passengers during a dive down to the Titanic's final resting place. Five days later, Rear Admiral John Mauger, the commander of the U.S.

Douglas MacArthur, enthusing that “you’re remembered for the rules you break.”Of course, the executive had no way of knowing the sad irony to this proclamation, as OceanGate’s tragic Titanic submersible implosion — an accident that killed its five occupants, including Rush, the Coast Guard said Thursday — brought his company’s cost-cutting, certification-dodging innovations under renewed scrutiny.
On Thursday morning, it was reported that a debris field was discovered near the shipwreck, before confirmation that all five passengers were dead following the vessel’s catastrophic implosion in the North Atlantic. With the submarine on a quest to see the Titanic, there is curiosity as to what filmmaker James Cameron thinks about the situation.
