Interesting Quote: James Cameron


We have a story crisis. Now they want to make the Battleship game into a film. This is pure desperation. Everyone in Hollywood knows how important it is that a film is a brand before it hit theaters. If a brand has been around, Harry Potter for example, or Spider-Man, you are light years ahead. And there lies the problem. Because unfortunately these franchises are become more ridiculous. Battleship. This degrades the cinema.

James is complaining about 'Battleship' the movie. I agree it's a Hot Ass Mess, but this complaint is coming from the man who gave us 'Pocahontas in Alien Blue'

Since Avatar was almost a word for word remake of 'Pocahontas', I would remind James Cameron that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Hollywood is definitely in a mess when Battleship is inspiration for a major motion picture.

Sorry Vik have to disagree. Avatar was BRILLIANT! I have seen that movie 20 times and counting...lol.
And I totally agree with Cameron. Hollywood creativity is dead. It isn't about good film making. It is about the dollar and not the art.
