Interview: James Cameron
June 2nd, 2009
With a US$300 million budget, a three-month IMAX run, and the hopes of the stereoscopic 3D movement on its shoulders, all eyes are on James Cameron’s Avatar. Not just moviegoers’, either. The videogame tie-in, in development at Ubisoft Montreal, hopes to spearhead 3D’s move from the big screen to the television. But as industry insiders are discovering, the movie isn’t just a pioneer for live-action 3D, but for next-gen motion capture as well. This, the director of Aliens and Titanic tells us, will benefit avatars of every description.
