Exclusive Interview: Avatar (Stephen Lang) - Part II
1 hour ago | ScreenStar | See recent ScreenStar news »
Yesterday, Stephen Lang introduced ScreenStar's readers to the world of James Cameron's mega-movie, Avatar (2009), setting up the plot and discussing his character, Col. Quaritch, who serves as the story's primary villain in Part I of our Exclusive Interview. Today, in Part II of our exclusive conversation with the talented character actor, Lang takes us further behind the scenes of Avatar, addressing the technological and filmmaking advances Cameron utilized to realize the film, commenting on the director's reputation as a hard taskmaster, and sharing his thoughts on his co-stars, who include Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, and Zoe Saldana. Cameron had a crack team literally inventing the technology necessary to pull off Avatar. How did that technology affect you, what you had to do, and ultimately your performance? When you're working in performance capture you're in a body suit with nodes all over it that allow the computers and cameras to record you. »

Avatar Review
1 hour ago | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
James Cameron, don’t leave us for this long again.
What’s encompassed in the 161 minutes that the King of the World has crafted shows us a seasoned veteran who knew what he had all along. The feeling called back to something I felt at the 1996 Olympics when I witnessed Michael Jordan and the Dream Team make their way to another gold medal. Jordan effortlessly handled the ball unlike anyone who had played the game before him and ever will, no matter how many Kobe’s or LeBron’s come our way. I couldn’t help but be breathless as I witnessed a legend show why he was a true master of the art.
Simply put; Cameron has done things in Avatar I have never seen before in a film.
Never before have I used that phrase to describe any movie these eyes have ever seen, and maybe it’s »

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has finally come up with the full nominees for the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, and among those unraveled as contenders for the Globes was Sandra Bullock. In the wee hours of Tuesday, December 15, the actress who had been nominated for the awards two times before was revealed to have got two nods.

She has been nominated for the latter nomination twice before for "Miss Congeniality" and for "While You Were Sleeping".
While Bullock stood out in the performers category, "Up in the Air" dominated the nominations in the movie category with six nominations including for Best Motion Picture. It overshadowed "Nine", which collected five, »

James Cameron gives verdict on McG's Terminator Salvation
3 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Avatar director James Cameron was also the man behind the first two Terminator films, in 1984 and 1991, which are regarded by many fans as the strongest in the series.
Cameron directed and co-wrote both releases, which were followed by Jonathan Mostow's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003 and then this year by McG's power-packed, post-apocalyptic Terminator Salvation.
In the Total Film supplement King of the World: The Complete Works of James Cameron, there is an interview in which Cameron was asked what he thought of Terminator Salvation.
He responded: "It didn't quite have the emotional power that it should have had. I thought Sam Worthington was great, very powerful, and Christian Bale...people have criticised him for being one-note but that's part of the character.
"He was playing a guy who's furiously dedicated to the survival of the human species. Maybe more could have been done with that. »

'Avatar' Star Sam Worthington 'Would Kill to Play Captain America'
3 hours ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
It's the understatement of the year to say that reactions were mixed when I posted a story last week wondering aloud about "Avatar" star Sam Worthington's choice of clothing during MTV's live "Avatar" Q&A event. The actor, who starred in the recent "Terminator: Salvation" and will play Perseus in the upcoming "Clash of the Titans" remake, was seen wearing an "Avengers" shirt — so with tongue firmly planted in cheek, I asked whether it could be possible Worthington was campaigning for a role in "The Avengers" or "Captain America" movies.
The response was, to put it mildly, pretty polarizing. Some sites seemed to get the joke and play along, others took the post a little too seriously — but in the end, it certainly kicked off discussion of whether the Australian actor could (or should) play one of Marvel's heroes.
Cue the recent "Avatar" junket, and Worthington's arrival at the »

Kathryn Bigelow's Golden Globe Nomination 'Long Overdue,' Says Ex-Husband James Cameron
3 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From MTV.Com: James Cameron has had five wives. Until Tuesday morning (December 15), the director had never found himself competing against one in an awards show. All that changed when the Golden Globe nominations were announced and both Cameron ("Avatar") and his ex Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") were recognized in the Best Director category.
Cameron produced Bigelow's 1991 thriller "Point Break," but the couple divorced shortly after Cameron finished filming "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." The exes remain friends. In fact, they've continued to work together after their marriage fell apart. Bigelow directed "Strange Days" in 1995, a film Cameron wrote and produced.

2009-2010 Golden Globe Nominations
4 hours ago | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
This morning the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the nominations for the 67th Annual Golden Globes scheduled to broadcast January 17. They’re a second tier award for sure and ultimately meaningless outside of marketing the movie or performer further for the Oscars. Nor are the a very predictable indicator of who will be nominated or win the Academy Award.
But Ricky Gervais is hosting, so I’m watching.
Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air lead the field with six nominations, which I’m thrilled about. It’s my favorite film of the year and deserves recognition now and in March at the real awards ceremony.
Both Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep picks up two acting nominations. One for the former in The Prosposal, which is either a perfect example of the irrelevancy of the Globes or how short the list was for female comedy roles this year.

Exclusive: James Cameron Confirms He Is 'Actively Involved' In 'Forbidden Planet'
4 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
This time last year, a rumor emerged that "Avatar" director James Cameron might step up to helm a remake (of sorts) of the sci-fi classic, "Forbidden Planet." The possibility was sort of substantiated by Latino Review, who reported that Cameron had seen the script and "flipped" for it.
Shortly after, we had the opportunity to follow up with "Babylon 5" creator J. Michael Straczynski, who was reportedly developing the "Planet" script. As he told MTV News at the time, "I’ve always wanted to do something involving 'Forbidden Planet.' It’s my favorite science-fiction film of all time. I’ve watched the rights go from one company to the next. I heard that the rights at Dreamworks were about to expire and I went to Joel Silver and said I think if you move quickly you can grab it and I can write it. And he did. It’s »

James Cameron: Closet Feminist
5 hours ago | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Little Girl Blue: Zoe Saldana as Neytiri in James Cameron's Avatar This is how “meet cute” happens in James Cameron’s Avatar: At night in a jungle on the alien moon Pandora, Jake Sully, a cocky Marine played by Sam Worthington, stumbles into a pack of snapping, six-legged predators called viperwolves. This jarhead is about to become a viperpuppy chew toy when a lithe huntress named Neytiri (Star Trek’s Zoe Salanda) intervenes. Luckily for Jake, Neytiri is handy with a bow and arrow. She’s also smart, bilingual, spiritual, great with animals, and—for a 10-foot-tall cyan-colored woman with a tail—a babe. Cameron has stuffed Avatar with enough futuristic battle scenes and fantastical creatures to rally hordes of 14-year-old boys to the box office when the film opens Dec. 18. But, as always in a Cameron film, the most interesting roles in Avatar belong to the women. »

Check Out 'Crazy Heart,' 'Young Victoria' And 'A Town Called Panic' In This Week's unLimited
6 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
With "Avatar" receiving great reviews and topping critics' awards, the 3-D sci-fi blockbuster will be a huge hit with all kinds of moviegoers this weekend, not just the mainstream audiences that typically go for lots of action and special effects. But if you're looking for an alternative, at least until the crowds die down, there are a few smaller movies opening this week that might be of interest. Actually, two of these spotlighted limited release offerings open tomorrow, so you might have time to see them before you have a chance to see James Cameron's latest. And if you're not in one of the cities playing these films this weekend, hopefully they'll garner enough Oscar buzz to warrant a wider release soon enough.

Watch: Leona Lewis' theme from 'Avatar,' 'I See You'
6 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Videos for songs featured in movies are a tricky thing. How do you highlight the artist performing the song and still plug the movie, since that’s the entire purpose of the clip? As these types of clips usually are, the video for “I See You” from "Avatar," which debuted on Myspace Music today, is a complete hybrid of Leona Lewis’ performance-- that has nothing to do with the movie-- interspersed with footage. (As hokey as it was, at least the video for “2012’s” “Time for Miracles” pretended to insert Adam Lambert into the action. To the video's credit, the movie footage... »

Movieline Timeline: James Cameron's 15-Year Odyssey To Realizing His Avatar Vision
6 hours ago | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Virtually every gushing, embargo-busting review of James Cameron's Avatar has paused momentarily from its fusillade of hyperappreciative (but apparently justified!) slobber to note that the visionary director, realizing that the necessary technology did not yet exist to execute his blue-tinged vision, put aside the script some 15 years ago, happy to stall until Hollywood movie magic provided him with a way to project the vivid Pandora trapped inside his blockbuster-addled mind onto a 3-D IMAX screen. But Cameron wasn't just twiddling his thumbs during that time, waiting for Peter Jackson's Weta team to unearth the game-changing performance-capture camera left buried just outside Auckland by a cinematically advanced alien society that would finally allow them to get Avatar into production. After the jump, Movieline's accounting of how Cameron was pushing -- slowly, insistently -- forward with the project during that frustrating time. »

James Cameron's Avatar Review: Seeing is Believing
7 hours ago | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
For a moment let's set aside the "titanic" hype, the abundant CGI, the trendy 3D, the record-breaking budget and the narrative comparisons to other films like Dances With Wolves. There is only one thing you need to know when deciding whether to pluck down your hard earned cash for James Cameron's Avatar and its 3D surcharge in theaters.
You may recognize Avatar's themes, but you have never seen them like this before. Ever.
The symphony of visual delight Cameron has orchestrated makes Michael Bay's Transformers look like a Woody Woodpecker cartoon. No offense to Industrial Light and Magic and their phenomenally intricate otherworldly robots, but the work by Weta and other effects houses to breathe life into the fictional planet of Pandora, its inhabitants and its landscapes is meticulously created from the ground up under Cameron's watchful eye with detail so vast no single viewing can soak it all in. »
