Bio

James Cameron’s masterful return to the screen dominated the international box office and left audiences around the world foaming at the mouth. Cameron invented 3D technology to create groundbreaking visual effects for his latest sci-fi epic. Surpassing Titanic’s global earnings in just six weeks, Avatar solidified Cameron’s status as king of the box office. Set in the year 2154, Avatar takes place on the psychedelic world of Pandora where a race of humanoids called the Na’vi live in perfect harmony with their world. Paraplegic Marine Jake Sully is sent to infiltrate the Na’vi using an “avatar” body, but falls in love with the beautiful Neytiri and her strange world. Avatar features Cameron favorite Sigourney Weaver and stars Sam Worthington as Jake Sully. Though critics groaned at the cheesy dialogue and too familiar story, audiences couldn't stay away from Pandora.
