James Cameron on writing Female Characters and his favourite character in Avatar!

Getting to chat to James Cameron about Avatar: The Way of Water was a lot of fun, his enthusiasm for his craft is infectious. So much so that he might have given away a couple of small spoilers! Aside from the Na'vi we also talked Titanic and it's 25th Anniversary and how and why he continues to write strong female characters.
Avatar: The Way of Water is available to watch now on ‪@disneyplus‬

Thanks so much for this interview; I'd be so starstruck talking to Jim that I'd forget what to say! Horner was woven into the fabric of my youth growing up in the 80s and 90s alongside his career, to the point that I came to appreciate films as an accessory to his music, rather than the other way around.
Even as a wee lad seeing Wrath of Khan with my parents and knowing absolutely nothing about the art and science of film scoring, his Korngold-inspired motifs that married the golden era of Hollywood with experimental modern synths stuck with me longer after the credits rolled.
It's so sad that Cameron only worked with him three times because their collaborations were unstoppable forces of nature. It was so lovely that Franglen carried that legacy forward and honored Jamie as a friend and collaborator in the studio and on the screen.
Was also totally enamored with Pinar Toprak's work on the Frontiers of Pandora game, which really took me by surprise. She also carried Jamie's thematic torch in a fresh and uncharted direction that I would love to hear so much more of. If you ever get the opportunity to speak with her, don't decline!
I'd like to think that the creative landscape of the Avatar franchise will continue to be paid forward with other talents; it would be awesome to see different composers step up to leave their mark on the saga, rather than having the same folks helming every chapter. My biggest hope for the franchise is that each entry be as distinct as possible from its predecessors and able to stand apart from what came before, rather than relying on its priors too often that they become creative crutches.
Even Jim states this when he mentions their aim was to approach the music production with open ears by considering different composers, and there's no reason that would exclude Franglen because he'd be working in collaboration with them just as he worked in collaboration with Jamie for decades.
If it hasn't happened already, someone needs to pull Jim aside and tell him that Pinar deserves to helm at least one of her own Avatar feature film scores! 💙

I LOVE this. Thank you. The thing is even people who loved the movies criticized some stuff and that’s fair I guess. That’s also the best kind of feedback you can get and maybe it could inspire him to improve some things in the future movies. 😌

He has a strange Taste in fashion. He dressed better in the 80s and 90s.
