James Cameron: Day 3

This week we take a look at the one and only James Cameron.

Or Big Jim as we like to call him.

He definitively is the Babe Ruth of Hollywood, hitting nothing but home runs.

With Avatar: The Way of Water hitting theaters on the 16th it gives us the perfect time to reflect on his work.

Specifically, we wanted to take a look at his action set pieces because there might not be anyone better at making big thing go boom.

Today, no insights, just a story.

When James Cameron went into a pitch meeting for “Alien 2” he walked up to a whiteboard and wrote the word Alien

“We all know Alien” says Cameron.

“But what if we did this”

and added an ‘S’ turning the word Alien into Aliens

“I’ll tell ya, you know what that would equal?”

and James fucking Cameron puts a line down the middle thus creating Alien$

That day was born unto us, one of the greatest Hollywood legends ever told.
