Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...Directors Talk: Vaughn on Super-Hero Movies, Cameron on Avatar 2 and Oil, Murphy on Eat, Pray, Love
- James Cameron told MTV that he's working on Avatar 2; "still working on deals…making notes…not sitting idle," but his current focus is on finishing the Avatar novel, which he wants to be legitimate and "inside the characters' heads and [not] have the wrong culture stuff, the wrong language stuff, all that." Before writers get to work on what may end of being one mega film instead of two sequels, Cameron wants more "meat on the bones" of the story. Between Cameron's schedule and the lack of a clear storyline for this follow-up, we shouldn't hold our breath. Besides, if it's going to be anywhere close to the quality of the first Avatar, Cameron can take his sweet time.
- Meanwhile, Cameron admits that he is irked that his oil spill disaster advice, which he told MTV was "promptly ignored," after his 25-page report was submitted to the Department of Energy, ended up being exactly what BP did. "I'm not saying they did it because we recommended it. I think they did it because it was the right thing to do. But they basically did exactly what we said should be done." Cameron wanted to help, but believes his opinion was ignored because of who he is. If his advice had been heeded two months ago, Cameron believes the oil gushing into the gulf could have been stopped sooner. His point has always been: "If you're relying on BP for imagery, you're basically relying on the criminal's video of the crime scene." One thing we in Hollywood have learned about Cameron: He knows what he's talking about.
- And in case some of you have been waiting for the oil spill to become fashionable, check out this attempt from Vogue Italia. It is beyond disturbing:
- The NYT profiles Eat Pray Love director Ryan Murphy, who they call "self-assured to the point of cockiness, [with] a wicked sense of humor, scary-ambitious yet charmingly eager to please, fashion-forward: it’s an intoxicating brew." That brew has catapulted him from being the creator of Nip/Tuck and Glee to Julia Roberts' BFF and in-demand studio director. Murphy seems confident that Eat Pray Love will be a box office hit, telling the NYT: “I’m really proud of the result. I think a lot of people are going to identify with this movie for multiple reasons.” He connected to the story, which he read following the "worst breakup" of his life.
