A teenage boy who got inspired from Star Wars and its influence initiated his film making career . But what else do we know about that boy.
JAMES CAMERON
A truck driver at a time in the United States , and now the most successful and highest paid film director. Was it all so easy for him ? . James used to work in a team of special effects artists and started pursuing his dreams from there. He was hired to direct Piranha 2 in 1981 , from which he was fired as he was unable to take a close up shot of the lead actress . In depression , he caught up with illnesses which resulted into complete bed rest. During his illnesses , he had a dream of a robot man killing people. He wrote a script around it and approached people . But no one would trust a failed and fired director . One lady , Gale Ann Hurd , laid trust on him,. They collaborated for the project and the project became a massive hit. It was titled as "The Terminator" . Gale and Cameron got married afterwards.
He didn't just stop there , he came up with even bigger vision and that vision became even bigger blockbuster in the history of Cinema , known as " The Titanic " .
By the time , he announced that he has still something very larger than life thing to execute. He also stated that he had been waiting for it since 17 years to execute it . That project became finally possible in 2009 by the name "Avatar" , and rest is the history .
James is coming up with 4 sequels to Avatar and release dates to the same are already out !
What a simple dream can do , if somebody asks . It can catapult you from a truck driver to the position of a greatest filmmaker of all time.
