It’s all going really well for the self proclaimed “King of The World.”
James Cameron has just delivered “Avatar” his sci-fi extravaganza to glowing critical and public acclaim and the film itself has earned over $US1 billion in box office receipts so far, which no doubt will surpass that during the duration of its run.
So it comes as some surprise to delve deeper into the psyche of the genius to find out he is an utter nightmare on set with a spoiled brat temper if he doesn’t get his way.
Whilst promoting “Avatar,” lead actor Sam Worthington stated on the Jay Leno Show that Cameron had very high expectations of cast and crew members and would often use a nail gun to nail the film crew’s cell phones to a wall above an exit door as payback for unwanted ringing during production.
Jeezus, a Nail gun!
It’s not safe to be on set whilst this director has a nail gun in his hand and is not afraid to use it.
Today he is nailing mobile phones to a wall coz he’s pissed but what’s he going to do for his next film, nail people’s faces to the camera if they so much as cough on set.
Does this psycho want and need the accolades he’s receiving now for “Avatar?” What sort of freakish ego trip is this going to send him on. Wasn’t it enough that we had to put up with his arrogance when “Titanic” exceeded the $US1 billion mark and he proclaimed himself the “King of the World” at the 1998 Academy Awards?
Star Kate Winslet stated after filming “Titanic” that she would not work for Cameron again unless she earned “a lot of money,” (goes without saying) due to his dictorial manner and flaming temper.
But the director who is in desperate need of Anger Management classes is in denial as to the effect he is having on cast and crew and the fallout he leaves in his wake after he has wrapped filming.
Cameron stated on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that although he doubts anyone would describe him as a mellow person, he is at least mellower than he was before.
A Cameron “mellow” is clearly not the same as a normal human being’s definition of “mellow.” Nuff said.
Delusional as hell for sure but then again karma’s a bitch.

Sam Worthington also said that Cameron is amazing and a collaborator at heart. As for the cell phone thing no one ever said he did it out of some unrestrained anger. It was a preset, thought out policy and thus was rational, not out of haste. Sure very very strict. You need to run a tight ship when you are risking almost half a billion dollars. Regardless of his methods, Cameron gives results. Also, I feel like you are using Sam Worthington's quote's out of context. Worthington said he would absolutely work for Cameron again on ANYTHING.
ReplyDeleteJust another viewpoint.
you write for a website with fluorescent colors called "cocobytes". keep it to yourself you miserable grump.
ReplyDeleteYes no doubt James Cameron is a genius but he is known to have a furious temper. Have you seen him in action making the Abyss, Aliens and Terminator? I think he is the grumpy one! I love your bytes Coco, you are funny. As for Anon lighten up it is a celebrity website you sound a little miserably grumpy yourself. But I guess like James a genius hides behind every grump!
