I wasn't sure if there was a thread already,... but thought there ought to be.
Anyhoo, here's some news from Empire with some interesting quotes from Jim.
Full Version: Avatar (James Cameron's new epic)
I'm really looking forward to this, but Cameron may have just ruined it:
There is no point if it's going to be shit, surely?
QUOTE (Jim)
He goes so far as to say that he's been concentrating so hard on getting the technology right that "I don't know whether [this] will be [a] great film from a narrative and critical standpoint.

Even if it's shit, plot-wise (which it won't be, ... this is Cameron, not McG) then it'll still be a fantastic watch. ... photo-realistic CG characters? ... in 3D?!!
+ you know it'll be better than Titanic.
I've got everything crossed that this will be good. Especially since we haven't had a big action movie from JC in 14 years.

Funny!
Its about time we had some original Cameron science fiction, has the wonderful Sigourney in it as well as Giovanni Ribisi so it cant be too bad.
I'm looking forward to this but with reservations. I'm not convinced that 3D and, urgh, 'syn-thespians' are the way forward for cinema and any film that seems to be just pushing that technology for its own sake has a high chance of being shit. I also don't know if Cameron's still got it in him to make good films since he's been away for so long.
