Producer Jon Landau Talks Up James Cameron’s Future

james-cameron-sam-worthingtonProducer Jon Landau, who has been professionally involved with director James Cameron since  1997′s Titanic, had some words for the French Le Film magazine regarding Cameron’s career post-Avatar.

There seem to be two avenues the director of The Terminator and Aliens will travel down: the first is an adaptation of the manga Battle Angel Alita, the second is an aquatic love story called The Dive.

The future may also hold a sequel to Avatar, if the first film is a success (which, given the hype machine created for it, is probably the least of Cameron and Landau’s expectations): “If the public likes Avatar, it’s a possibility. After all, here we are exploring the surface of the planet Pandora. The interior remains to be seen,” hinted Landau.

Details on The Dive are hazy; the producer simply described it as “a love story in the middle of a dive.” Huh.

However, Battle Angel Alita has plenty of potential. The manga tells the story of an amnesiac female cyborg (Alita) in a dystopian future United States. This is the sort of material that Cameron can wrap his head around and craft into a true work of film science fiction. The real question at hand is how long will we have to wait for these films — especially considering that he’s likely to involve the intricate motion capture process used in Avatar?

James Cameron certainly isn’t the sort of Soderbergh-esque director who can pump out two movies in as many years — whichever one of these projects he chooses to follow Avatar with, you can bet it’ll be a while before we see it.

    Cameron -who's already rich and decades stale —is almost certainly being massively funded
    and supported by the most awesomely genocidal regime in all human history —-across the Pacific.

    70,000,000 people 'missing' in 'peacetime'. —70 million that you won't see a single Hollywood
    flick so much as alluding to. ( BTW —anyone notice so much as a single flick marking the
    50th anniversary of the Korean War a little while back? —didn't think so )

    Anyway that number again is —70 million. —-70 million —and STILL counting…

    Of course, America has yet to even face up to its own legacy of 45 million exterminations of
    the unborn —-SO —looks like Cameron's got it made!

    NOW —-back to your techno circle-jerk fantasies!

    AMEN
