If there’s something to this, then both the inevitable ‘’Avatar’’ sequel and the long-gestating ‘’Battle Angel Alita’’ project aren’t going to happen for quite a while.
According to Monsters and Critics, James Cameron has met with Japanese atomic bomb survivor to discuss making a film about nuclear weapons.
93-year-old Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived both of the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and is now fighting cancer in hospital, was visited by Cameron and author Charles Pellegrino (‘’The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back’’) in December.
“I think it's Cameron's and Pellegrino's destiny to make a film about nuclear weapons”, Yamaguchi said.
Cameron told the man he hasn’t finalized plans to make the movie, but if he does go ahead with it, he promised it will be ‘uncompromising’.
The Oscar-Winning filmmaker has a full slate planned : He's currently producing the underwater thriller "Sanctum"; wants to direct the equally-wet thriller "The Dive", is being courted to direct a remake of "Forbidden Planet", will produce a remake of (another sci-fi classic) "Fantastic Voyage", will direct a segment of "Heavy Metal", and, as mentioned, is still planning to helm a feature film adaptation of "Battle Angel Alita". Oh, and not to mention the movie he's said to reuniting with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold on (so Arnold says) in a couple of years.
