A compliment coming straight from the likes of James Cameron who is not known to hand them out to fellow actors or directors that easily, is an honor of the highest degree.
Kate Winslet, working with him after almost twenty-five years inAvatar: The Way of WatersinceTitanicin ‘97, feels that Cameron has always been a tough nut to crack.
To this day,Avatar’sbox office collections are undefeated and the second installment sits at the third spot afterAvengers: Endgame.It may seem a little far-fetched coming from him, but Cameron was sold on another sci-fi project back in 2013.
He even went on to sing praises for the film afterAvatarhad only lived for four years in the theaters, and that was nothing short of an Oscar for the lead — Sandra Bullock.

James Cameron Had Alfonso Cuarón’s Back ForGravity
Gravitydidn’t just happen withoutAlfonso Cuarónhaving to face incredibly difficult challenges to land a 2013 release. He wasn’t sure of the technology present at the time but was lucky enough to have Cameron as a mentor.
James Cameronmade history in 2009 by using advanced motion capture technology to create stunning visuals for hisAvatar,and surprisingly, he wanted no less for Cuarón and wanted him to postpone.
“I read the script, and I thought it was tremendously challenging to shoot with a high degree of veracity to get the real look of zero gravity,”Cameron once said in an interview.
He further added that achieving the feat was only possible for someone like Cuarón who knew in his mind how he wanted the scenes to look and went for it.

James Cameron Adored Sandra Bullock’s Performance
Cuarón, making a never-before-achieved feat with the film’s cinematography, had to have a master filmmaker like James Cameron involved in some capacity.
Not just the script, but Cameron was blown away bySandra Bullock’s true zero-gravity choreography visuals in the final cut.
“She’s the one that had to take on this unbelievable challenge to perform it. There’s an art to that, to creating moments that seem spontaneous but are very highly rehearsed and choreographed. Not too many people can do it. I was stunned, absolutely floored,”Cameron said about the film.
We have Cuarón to thank forHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’samped-up visuals and we can see why, if even digitally, he wanted to push the project against Cameron’s advice.
