James Francis Cameron (born August 16, 1954) is a Canadian film director, film producer, screenwriter, editor, and inventor. His writing and directing work includes Piranha II: The Spawning (1981), The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), True Lies (1994), Titanic (1997), and Dark Angel (2000 – 2002). In the time between making Titanic and his return to feature films with Avatar (2009), Cameron spent several years creating many documentary films (specifically underwater documentaries), and also co-developed the digital 3D Fusion Camera System. Described by a biographer as part-scientist and part-artist, Cameron has also contributed to underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies.

In total, Cameron's directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$2 billion in North America and US$6 billion worldwide. Without adjusting for inflation, Cameron's Titanic and Avatar are the two highest-grossing films of all time at $1.8 billion and $2.7 billion respectively. In March 2011 he was named Hollywood's top earner by Vanity Fair, with estimated 2010 earnings of $257 million.

2.37 min. | 4.55 user rating		 James Cameron's given us a whole lot of big-name movies over the years, but his newest, Avatar, might be his biggest yet. Already, tickets for a free sneak preview were snatched up so fast online that servers were crashed. When a paraplegic war veteran is taken to a distant planet, he's going to discover that there's a whole lot of bad blood between the humans who've moved there and the planet's indigenous life. But how bad can things get? Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Check out the trailer that everyone's been dying to see. Now here's the interesting question--considering the amount of hype that this one has already brought into play, can it possibly live up to all that hype? There's plenty of star power in this one, and James Cameron rarely disappoints--but there's a first time for everything. Is this it? Head on down to the comments section below and weigh in.

At depth of 35756 feet below sea level, it is now the deepest point on Earth to be reached by mankind. An expedition seven years in the making, Cameron embarked on a quest with obstacles identical to the first moon landing. With help from a team of oceanographers, marine biologist, engineers, as well as generous sponsorships from National Geographic and Rolex. Then there was the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, a mission specific submersible designed by Cameron and Ron Allum. At 24-foot long and shaped like a vertical torpedo, the vehicle spun slowly as it descended for speed as well as accuracy. In fact, it took Cameron 70 minutes to hit his final destination at 6.8-mile below. The aim of the deep sea exploration was supposingly the reaserch for AVATAR 2. This time the movie will set in the ocean of Pandora, rich of creatures and evocative images. Cameron said that the movie production will last 18 months less than the previous one and the movie will be released between late 2013 and early 2014. The main characters of the movie will be once again played by Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana.

Cast: Richard Roxburgh, Alice Parkinson, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhys Wakefield, Dan Wyllie, Christopher Baker, Allison Cratchley The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum, from executive producer James Cameron, follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team-including 17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd)-are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?
