James Cameron has earned the title of one of the best filmmakers of all time thanks to an impressive repertoire of films. His recent work on the Avatar franchise has been groundbreaking for filmmaking, pushing the art form to even greater heights in the process.In the most recent news about the legendary director, James Cameron recently sat for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he shared some insight into his inner workings and mindset. When asked what the future holds for him after Avatar: Fire and Ash, Cameron was direct in his response,"I’ve got other stories to tell — and I've got other stories to tell within 'Avatar.' What won't happen is I won't go down the rabbit hole of exclusively making only 'Avatar' for multiple years.”It’s enlightening to know his mind is on projects apart from his most recent franchise, although admittedly, he is nowhere near done with it either.James Cameron goes in-depth in a recent interview with THRJames Cameron’s recent The Hollywood Reporter interview featured several other interesting tidbits and flourishes of personality from the director. On the topic of the level of technology used in making the film, Cameron explained,“On a live-action set, you’re laying track in front of a moving train. On a performance-capture set, we take as long as we need to. There’s no worrying about the camera, about the lighting; I’m not coming in with a shot list. For me, it’s about getting to the emotional core of the scene. They say it’s not ‘real acting’ — that’s the most b*llshit thing in history, [as if] ‘real acting’ is stage acting where you’re whispering loud enough to be heard 30 rows back.”The esteemed director also shared that the Ash tribe was loosely inspired by an indigenous group in Papua New Guinea he encountered on his travels. He describes his encounter at a traditional fire ceremony vividly,“They were in this trance state, dancing for seven hours on end in actual fire. Then I was seeing these kids go into this ash field, joyfully playing in this almost postnuclear devastation. I wasn’t thinking, ‘I can use this for Avatar,’ but it was one of those things that informs my dream landscape.”After broaching several other topics throughout the course of his most recent interview, James Cameron was then asked if there is a possibility that this is the last Avatar film. His response should resonate with the majority of his contemporaries,“This can be the last one. There’s only one [unanswered question] in the story. We may find that the release of Avatar 3 proves how diminished the cinematic experience is these days, or we may find it proves the case that it’s as strong as it ever was — but only for certain types of films. It’s a coin toss right now. We won’t know until the middle of January.”It remains to be seen what’s next for James Cameron amidst a rapidly evolving backdrop in modern cinema.
