Posted by: Gwen Stewart in , ,



They filmed, they showed and they are still conquering theaters everywhere. It was only weeks ago when news hit how Twilight Saga: New Moon skyrocketed to third place in the worldwide box office hit of all time. It seems last year’s films have hit high notes among audience who can’t seem to get enough of them. Among the movies that both marked a good end to the industry last year and started another historic feat at the same time is Avatar as it takes second place in the worldwide box office hit of all time.
Background check shows that the position once belonged to the third installment of J.R.R. Tolkien’s hit trilogy novel turned movie, Lord of the Ring: Return of the King. The said installment was overtaken by James Cameron’s Sci-fi movie The Avatar after three weeks since its global release in theaters. It was an astounding run for the film that features aliens formed through CGI technology as they earned a total of $1.13 billion dollars.

The success of the Avatar is definitely undeniable public records search on the AICN (Ain’t it cool news) reports that Cameron has officially confirmed about the working on the movie’s sequel. With the previous experiences in using CGI design for the world and characters, it was definitely easier this time to do the follow up of this successful film—or will it? Cameron himself admits it will definitely be hard to go for next Avatar because of its surprising breakthrough in such a short time. 20th Century Fox
James Cameron’s Titanic presently holds the largest top grossing box office hit of all time. When it was shown it gave such a surprise after it was claimed by some that it would definitely flop. However since its premier in the theaters, Titanic has magnetized fans that they seem to keep coming back for more. At the end of its play records search shows the movie to have earned $1.84 billion worldwide.
After twelve years since Titanic became a hit, Avatar was reported to be only $700 plus million behind to make it to number one.  Furthermore there are speculations that at the rate the Avatar is going, it’s not impossible for it to hit number one. With two huge successes currently back to back—and competing—what more can these two films’ creator could ask for?
James Cameron seems to can’t get enough as he also eyes the project which recalls the fate of those who survived and prey victims to atomic bombs during the war in Japan: The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back. The said film was actually based on a book with the same title.
Background check company reveals James Cameron’s plan as he options to fund the said movie himself, especially by his own production company, Lightstorm Entertainment. This was confirmed by Variety magazine. Only recently, Cameron and the book’s author, Charles Pellegrino, visited Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a survivor of both atomic blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yamaguchi was interviewed by both Cameron and Pellegrino to discuss the experience of a nuclear explosion.

Eyeing for one great film can’t seem to be enough especially if it’s from James Cameron. With the success of Titanic, followed by Avatar which now vies for a sequel, plus the book turned film, there is more to watch out for and to get fans excited.
