'Avatar' director James Cameron on making big-budget movies: 'Difficult is a magnet for me' (via CNBCMakeIt)
When it comes to blockbuster directors few are bigger than James Cameron, whose films have grossed more than $6 billion at the worldwide box office.
His biggest films were both massive undertakings, drawing moviegoers in droves because of the size and spectacle of what was on display. But his next film, "Avatar: The Way of Water", required him to move his entire life to New Zealand for the painstaking process of crafting his sequel. "I think it probably goes back to this idea that there are lots of smart, really gifted, really talented filmmakers out there that just can't do the difficult stuff," Cameron said. "So that gives me a tactical edge to do something nobody else has ever seen, because the really gifted people don't f—ing want to do it."
