You probably saw the movie about 7 times in theaters when it was first released, so why watch it again? It’ll be in 3D!
"There's a whole generation that's never seen Titanic as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen," Cameron said.
James Cameron: Make Your Household Green: James told Hollyscoop, “Everything in our household is green, it’s the way we teach our kids. We have organic gardens, we do the recycling. We do the energy efficiency, we drive the hybrid vehicles. Everybody should do that--that is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to understand the issues and vote. Vote no on Prop 23, understand that climate change is a major threat to the planet and our kids.”
Jennifer Aniston: Multitask “I take a three-minute shower. I even—brush my teeth while in the shower."
It takes me about ten minutes of being in the shower before I even wake up. If she can manage to pull it off, more power to her. Because a ten minute long shower uses about 42 gallons of water. With the average household taking 1,000 showers per year, that's a lot of wasted water.

Avatar 2 and 3 will be released a year apart. Avatar 2 will be released in December 2014 and Avatar 3 will hit theaters in December 2015.
James Cameron: Most Powerful Man in Movie World
So what does Cameron think about this amazing project?
"It is a rare and remarkable opportunity when a filmmaker gets to build a fantasy world, and watch it grow, with the resources and partnership of a global media company. AVATAR was conceived as an epic work of fantasy – a world that audiences could visit, across all media platforms, and this moment marks the launch of the next phase of that world. With two new films on the drawing boards, my company and I are embarking on an epic journey with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox.
Our goal is to meet and exceed the global audience's expectations for the richness of AVATAR’s visual world and the power of the storytelling. In the second and third films, which will be self contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of AVATAR’s visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world. I'm looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild."

James Cameron was just named the most powerful man in the film world and we are not surprised one bit. Cameron even beat out Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan for the top spot.
The Guardian newspaper's Film & Music supplement, released their top 100 most influential people in the movie world and Cameron came up on top.
It said: "Cameron occupies the top two spots in the list of the highest grossing movies of all time, with 'Titanic' (worldwide gross: $1.8 billion) second only to 'Avatar' ($2.7 billion). Those figures are so high that it seems scarcely worth mentioning that other of his films, 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day', stands in the lower reaches of the top 100 with takings of over $519 million; loose change, really."
Steven Spielberg took the #2 spot and Leonardo DiCaprio came in #3.
Below is the top 20!
1. James Cameron (director)
2. Steven Spielberg (director)
3. Leonardo DiCaprio (actor)
4. John Lasseter (director)

“Right now we are planning our 3D tour movie and James Cameron is directing it,” will.i.am tells Vibe magazine.
Will.i.am then went on to say that the reason they have the best director in the world directing 3d movie is because they are the best group in the world. Very humble!
“We have the biggest director because we are the biggest group on the planet. The Peas are filming it in South America. People will be able to see us in the theater with the 3D glasses and everything.”
“There will be a storyline that [Cameron] came up with, which will be dope,” he says. “It’s a full-length film and it’s based around our tour activities. We’ve toured from America and Europe, to the Middle East, South America, Asia and Africa.
The project is set to be released sometime next year. We’re assuming they’re gathering some footage right now while they are on their world tour.
This isn't the first time a big shot director has worked with a band. Martin Scorsese directed "Shine a Light" which was a documentary on the Rolling Stones, with concert footage from their "A Bigger Bang" tour.

That makes it the best-selling DVD ever, beating out Titanic. It’s also sold 2.7 million Blu-Rays, which beats out The Dark Knight’s record of 2.5. And it took only four days to get that number! We’ll see if Avatar can beat out The Dark Knight’s weekly number of 13 million copies sold.
What makes this even crazier is that the DVD release contains no special features or 3D effects—just goes to show how much people loved that film, and wanted to see more! Plus, as Hollyscoop previously reported, a second special-edition version of Avatar is scheduled to hit shelves near the holidays, with a 3-D edition planned for 2011. The film is slated to return to theaters for an encore run with six minutes of new footage in August.
Then after that, we can start looking forward to the two more sequels Cameron has promised us!

In the past, Cameron has talked about the intention of working on a sequel to the Oscar nominated film in the near future.
He said previously, "We always planned on continuing the world and continuing the characters. In fact, that was part of the original pitch to 20th Century Fox."
Sam Worthington Up for the Challenge of Avatar 2
Now he tells the LA Times, "Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment—a different setting within Pandora. And I'm going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won't be a rain forest. I'm not saying we won't see what we've already seen; we'll see more of that as well."
Cameron says it’s no easy task creating Pandora, but now that they have the materials from the first film, it’ll take faster to complete this time around.
"We're going to spend a lot of money building this world and all these digital characters and digital plants and trees and mountains and so on, and then once we've got it, we've got it. It's not like it's a practical set that when you build it, you have to tear it down and you're left with a big pile of lumber out behind the studio. We have all that stuff so we can go again,” he explained.
Hollyscoop spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Sam Worthington recently, and he told us he’s up for as many sequels Cameron decides on. He told us, “When the boss decides that he is up for the challenge, when he writes it and tells me to jump, I’ll jump.”
He also joked about some character changes he hopes will happen to Jake, who is now part of the Nav’i race. “I want him to be fat,” Sam confessed.
We don’t think that’s possible! Cameron says the storyline in the second film will definitely have us wanting more. "We expand out across that system and incorporate more into the story—not necessarily in the second film, but more toward a third film," he explains.
For now, you can buy Avatar out on DVD tomorrow!
