James Cameron Says He Threw Away An Avatar Script He Spent A Year Working On
James Cameron recently discussed the process of developing the Avatar 2 script that took a long time to write.
James said, “All films work on different levels. The first is surface, which is character, problem, and resolution.”
He continued, “The second is thematic. What is the movie trying to say? But Avatar also works on a third level, the subconscious.”
He added, “I wrote an entire script for the sequel, read it, and realized that it did not get to level three. Boom. Start over. That took a year.”
Cameron continued, “I guarantee you, you won’t be able to predict it. What people hate the most is to go and see a movie and say ‘oh… predictable.’ This is not predictable, I don’t think. I defy anybody to predict where this story goes.”
What was one of the most difficult challenges you have ever faced in your life? How did you overcome it?
