Summary
James Cameron is best known for writing, directing, and producing such award-winning films as Avatar, Titanic, Terminator 2, Aliens, and The Abyss. As a child, he experimented with his father's Super-8 camera and eventually became a largely self-taught master of visual effects. Cameron continues to push the boundaries with filmmaking. The 2010 release of Avatar saw one of the biggest box-office grosses both in the United States and worldwide and is widely credited with making 3D moviemaking a reality. His attention to detail has been called maniac, but in the end, James Cameron knows what filmgoers want: a good story with well-paced action. In 2012, Cameron rereleased Titanic in 3D, making only one change to the original film: changing the stars to be the exact constellations the main characters would have seen when the ship sank the night of April 14, 1912.
