James Cameron Says ‘Avatar’ Sequels Will Make You ‘S*** Yourself;’ Plus Frame Rate Update
James Cameronhas never been one to set the bar low. When his last two films were released, each was most expensive movies ever made and became the highest grossing films ever.Avatarremains on the top of the list by a wide margin, followed up by the other recent Cameron film,Titanic. But that’s not all. Cameron has reached similar heights making the first $100 million film inTerminator 2: Judgement Day, groundbreaking effects inThe Abyss, and of course the technical advancements inAvatarwhich set the stage for much of what’s happening in special effects today.
