How James Cameron Wrote Three Avatar Sequels at Once

Learn How James Cameron Wrote the Three Avatar Sequels at once

James Cameron is always trying to push the limits of filmmaking. With a liquid metal Terminator, Titanic, and Avatar, Cameron has never taken the easy road to making a movie. It is expected for this continue in the new Avatar sequels.

James Cameron has been working on the sequel to Avatar for several years now. With Avatar 2 set to be released in December 2015, James Cameron is planning on shooting all three films at the same time. But, his biggest problem is writing.

Sometimes the hardest part to writing a sequel for a box office hit is to provide something people even better than the first. But, when you are James Cameron the world has higher standards. So, prior to filming James Cameron wanted to look back to his experiences while writing the TV series, “Dark Angel” featuring a younger Jessica Alba.

Here’s what Cameron had to say:

We set ourselves a challenge of writing three films at the same time. And I could certainly write any one of them but to write three in some reasonable amount of time – we wanted to shoot them together so we couldn’t start one until all three scripts were done and approved.

But what we did that was unique was we sat in the writing room for five months, eight hours a day, and we worked out every beat of the story across all three films so it all connects as one, sort of, three film saga.

He hopes to reinvent the screenwriting process and provide people with a detailed world. By, writing all three movies he hopes that the writers will keep up with his ideas.

I don’t know if that necessarily yields great scripts but it certainly worked for us as a process to get our minds around this kind of epic with all these new creatures, environments and characters and all that.

Justin Bieber Caught Saying the N-Word in a Racist Joke [VIDEO]

Justin Bieber was Caught on Video Telling a Racist Joke

In the video below, a younger version of Justin Bieber can be seen telling a joke to some friends.

“Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?” he asks his friends with a grin on his face. After someone off camera says, “don’t even say it,” Bieber then delivered the nasty punchline: “Run n–ger, n–ger, n–ger, n–ger, n–ger.”

The Sun reported that Bieber’s management team knew about the offensive video clip and had offered a lot of money to keep the video from ever seeing the light of day.

According to Page Six, Justin Bieber, was believed to be 17, at the time, shot this clip as part of his 2011 documentary, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,” but it didn’t the final cut.

Watch the video here:

At the end of the day Justin Bieber was 17 years old. He was and is still a kid and we all have said or done bad things in our lives but, at the end of the day it is about the impact you have on the people around you. We will see how this pans out. But, I believe at the end of the day Beliebers are going to stand up for their favorite singer. What do you think of the video? Share with us your thoughts in the comments below!

Trumbo, a screenwriter and author of “Johnny Got His Gun” among other popular movies was part of Hollywood 10, a group of screenwriters and directors who were later blacklisted after refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947. Trumbo would later go on to write films using fronts and fake names throughout the 1950’s including “Roman Holiday,” for which he won of his two Oscars.

This will be Bryan Cranston‘s first major leading role after several supporting roles including Drive, Argo, Rock of Ages, Total Recall and Godzilla.

Bryan Cranston revealed he picks roles by focusing on the story, script and character. “An actor can only raise the level of bad writing by a grade,” Cranston said of his complicated points system. “C writing, and I don’t care if you’re Meryl Streep — you can only raise it to a B.” “Trumbo,” it seems, met Cranston’s standards.

Producers for “Trumbo” are now hiring crew members to work on the production. To apply submit your resume to [email protected]. This is only for job opportunities. We will keep you updated when acting opportunities become available.

Hollywood Actresses Get Brutally Honest About Hollywood Culture

0

Several actresses have commented on the Hollywood culture this past week.

In a press conference for Clouds of Sils Mariaactress Chloë Grace Moretz answered questions about the celebrity lifestyle and expectations. Chloë Grace Moretz who plays an American starlet and “tabloid fixture,” in the movie said some pretty surprising comments about the celebrity expectations:

“You have to be the most realistic person, the one that makes your own toothpaste — that’s what it is now,” she said. “There’s no vaseline on the lens anymore. We want the sharpest image, to see all your pimples! We want to see that you’re a messed-up human. We want to see you cheat and lie. And it’s kind of depressing because, instead of being actors, we’re now just entities, which isn’t our job.”

Chloë Grace Moretz also commented on the entitlement fans feel they have with celebrities on social media:

“They’ll be like, You have to give me a photo. I buy a ticket to your movie. I, in a sense, own you. If I don’t buy a ticket to your movie, you’re done — so you have to take a photo with me. There’s a lot of entitlement, especially nowadays, in Hollywood, because they think they know everything about you. They think that because you have an Instagram, they can go break into your house. You let us in! I’ve seen your house on your video!

Charlize Theron, also commented on the celebrity lifestyle, but compared it to sexual assault. Charlize Theron was in the UK to promote the new movie A Million Ways To Die in the Westshe made comments when asked by Sky News if she ever Googled herself.

She said: “I don’t do that, so that’s my saving grace. When you start living in that world, and doing that, you start I guess feeling raped.” Theron continued, “Well, you know when it comes to your son and your private life. Maybe that’s just me. Some people might relish all that stuff but there are certain things in my life that I think of as very sacred and I am very protective over them.

Charlize Theron added that it is healthier to stay out of the media and press.

“I don’t always win that war but as long as I don’t have to see that stuff or read that stuff or hear that stuff then I can live with my head in a clear space, which is probably a lot healthier than living in that dark room.”

The Hollywood spotlight provides an immense amount of attention. From pimples, to life experiences, an actor’s life is now scene under a microscope. With media outlets such as TMZ, 24 hour news, and social media, celebrities are always in the headlines for mundane situations. So, much so that perhaps we forget that they are people too. At the same time, celebrities would not be celebrities without their fans. If people didn’t care about their outfits, personalities, or significant others, they probably would not have a career.

What do you think? Should celebrities be humbled by the fans they have? Or, should fans respect their privacy and leave them alone? Share with us your thoughts in the comments below!

‘Ferris Bueller’s Famouse House Sells for $1.06 Million

0

Ferris Buellers’ famous Highland Park, Illinois home sells for 1.06 million dollars.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off  home has sold after five years being on the market for $1.06 M. The home was designed in 1953  by A. James Speyer, a modernist architectural designer.

Originally designed in 1953 by A. James Speyer, a follower of the great modernist Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the four-bedroom main house was joined in 1974 by the famous glassy pavilion, designed by David Haid to showcase the original owner’s car collection—it accommodates parking for four cars, plus an extra kitchen and bathroom.[Curbed]

If you can recall in the movie, this is where Cameron Frye totaled his dad’s Ferrari.

giphy-8

The home first hit the market in 2009 and was listed at $1.65 M in early 2011. After the property had no takers, brokers tried adding new decoration and other new amenities. Unfortunately, that did not work out for the brokers either. The house was then placed on the market for $1.5 M in August 2013, and then the price dropped again to $1.295M around Thanksgiving.

Wonder why the home was so hard to sell? The home was designed as two separate buildings and people could not see the practical use of having one building serve as a home and another building serving as a smaller office.

‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ Cancelled After One Season

0

Arsenio Hall could not make it past the first season as CBS pulls the plug after one season and cancels “The Arsenio Hall Show”.

Jay Leno could not help Arsenio Hall make past the first season. After weeks of discussions, CBS Television has made a decision to cancel and not proceed with a second season of the Arsenio Hall Showeven though he secured a two year deal prior to the show aired it’s first episode, according to Deadline.

Leno even surprised audiences in February to give the news of the show’s renewal. But, CBS later changed their minds.

After a promising first episode, The Arsenio Hall Show quickly faded in the ratings and never bounced back. Despite having top notch celebrities such as Prince and Eddie Murphy, the show would never live up to expectations. CBS even tried changing the executive producers at the show in hopes that it would help. But, nothing could be down.

“While there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue,” a CBSTD spokesperson said. “Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show.”

The Arsenio Hall Show marked a comeback for the late-night host. Arsenio Hall later commented on the cancellation of the series,  “When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, we all knew it would be a challenge – I’m gratified for the year we’ve had and proud of the show we created. I’d like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night.”
