Did James Cameron write AVATAR?
Here's a swell article from the LA Times about screenwriting credits...
Ooooh. The Reitman story sounds especially scandalous.
But the Cameron one sounds like the way he would go about it: He writes one of his famous scriptments and gets a mentee to bang it out, making the required adjustments as Mr. Cameron deems fit.
I mean like, as if James Cameron has the time to write a WHOLE screenplay. He's too busy metamorphosing and shit.

"is listed simply as an executive producer — a minor credit even by producing standards"
ReplyDeleteThat's a bold claim. lol
I wondered why Sheldon was hanging back from the podium. He is a great writer, read a lot of his stuff
