Several Indigenous Groups Call For Boycott of James Cameron’s “Blue Trash,” ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: 20th Century Studios / Avatar: The Way of Water James Cameron’s latest visual spectacle, Avatar: The Way of Water, is not sitting well with everyone. Several groups of Native Americans are calling for a boycott of Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to Cameron’s 2009 box office blockbuster Avatar. The protest is a direct result of some resurfaced comments from Cameron. The legendary movie director is a well-known environmentalist and, in 2010, spoke about campaigning against the building of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam in the Amazon. He also mentioned how after learning from indigenous tribes, he was inspired to write Avatar. “I felt like I was 130 years back in time watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were bein...
James Cameron Conducted a Scientific Study to Prove Jack Couldn’t Have Survived in Titanic
For 25 years, Titanic fans have been adamant that there was room on the door for both Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) to survive the ship’s sinking. Director James Cameron, meanwhile, is positive that Jack had to die — so much so that he conducted a study to prove DiCaprio’s character could not survive the Titanic. “We have done a scientific study to put this whole thing to rest and drive a stake through its heart once and for all,” Cameron told the Toronto Sun. “We have since done a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert who reproduced the raft from the movie and we’re going to do a little special on it that comes out in February.” Cameron continued, “We took two stunt people who were the same body mass of Kate and Leo and we put sensors all over them a...

Over a decade after its release, Avatar will return this December with Avatar: The Way of Water, and the trailer for the long-awaited sequel is finally out. Check out the clip below. Avatar: The Way of Water follows the Sully family, whose patriarch Jake (Sam Worthington) ended the first movie by leaving his human body to live as a Na’vi with his partner, Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).

James Cameron Says Marvel and DC Characters “Act Like They’re in College”
James Cameron has joined the ranks of esteemed directors who have criticized comic book movies. In a New York Times interview, he said Marvel and DC characters don’t weigh the risks like the heroes in his new movie, Avatar: The Way of Water, who are now parents. According to Cameron, they instead “act like they’re in college” regardless of their personal lives. “When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college,” Cameron said. “They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to m...
Avatar Is Getting a Theatrical Re-Release in 4K

It stars Sam Worthin...
