Avatar is birthed. It played last night in London, and it’ll be screening in LA tomorrow. So what’s next for Big Jim Cameron? Will it be another decade tooling around in subs, or Battle Angel Alita? Or will it be something entirely different? Like… a remake of Seven Samurai? But in fucking space, dude.
Production Weekly tweeted that Cameron is working with ‘writer’ Shane Salerno (Aliens vs Predator, so he and Cameron have something in common!) on a futuristic scifi event film, but offered no other details. io9 did their due diligence and went through the archives to find that Salerno last year sold a script to Fox called Doomsday Protocol, which is essentially a Seven Samurai riff in space. The film is about a group of aliens and humans with various abilities who are brought together to save Earth.
Could that be what Cameron and Salerno are working on? And would it be something Cameron directs or just produces? And could this article have any more questions?
The Avatar junket is happening this weekend in London, so hopefully somebody asks Big Jim what’s up with this bidness.
Try to guess who breaks the Avatar embargo first on our message boards!

Are you happy?
It's official, Jim's EGO is the only thing stopping him now. Oh wait, that's a great pitch for a new movie. James Cameron's EGO starring ILM and the ghost of Bill Paxton. Music by Barnes and Barnes with Celine Dion.
Basically this guy's entire ouvre is akin to scoring a blue ribbon in a pissing contest. I am soooo tired of this guy now. There was a good reason why you went 12 years between films, nobody could stand the thought of working with you again. You proved to be a storm in a teacup with Titanic and got your Oscar. Just go away please.
agree with marco
I thought we already had a space film that riffs on Seven Samurai — Corman's "Battle Beyond the Stars." I watched that movie about a buhjillion times on television when I was a kid. As an adult, I recognize how cheesy and awful it is, but still. . .
So Avatar is birthed and is it spine-breaking demon baby that werewolves go pedo for or eye-balls fucking baby or what is it? Too hell with embargo, just give us some buzz. Some buzz.
I was about to say it, but JonStrickland already called it. Cameron already worked on a Seven Samurai in space movie…
"Battle Beyond the Stars" (1980)
Plot:
Seven futuristic mercenaries are assembled to defend a helpless farm colony from an evil overlord.
Art Direction by
Charles Breen
James Cameron (as Jim Cameron)
He's coming full circle!
I smell a sequel to Alien Nation. WOO HOO!!!
great. another classic defiled.
holy shit you people are such fanboy bitches. all you do is whine whine whine. lmao. and you don't even know if this is real or what he's doing, but already you're whining like little fanboy bitches. god you guys suck. no wonder you don't get laid. your attitude stinks. get outside and talk to some girls you virgin little boys.
Waht a bunch of spastics you are, especially you Marco you fucking mongoloid.
Cameron is a wife beating plagiarizing hack. Nobody gives a fuck about his over-rated over-hyped bullshit. All of the Avatar reviews coming in are mediocre at best, so all you butt hurt Cameron fanbois please stop crying, Avatar has failed you all… time to move on to "The Dive".
LMAO
If you don't care about James Cameron then shut up. Seriously. Constantly slagging off and mocking a subject more than praising those you do like says a hell of a lot more about you than yuou realise. If you don't like or don't want to like Avatar then ignore it. Oh, wait, I forgot; the spite fills that hole in your life.
Gotta love the talkback psychologists. All the answers without the medium
