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.
