<p>Filmmaker James Cameron has shared that the pre-production of his upcoming 'Avatar'&nbsp;sequels was not as smooth as it seemed.<br />
<br />
The director told author Marianne Williamson that he almost fired his 'Avatar'&nbsp;sequel writers' room, which is pitching new ideas for the upcoming movies, reports aceshowbiz.com.<br />
<br />
"When I sat down to write the sequels, I knew there were going to be three at the time, and eventually it turned into four," Cameron said.<br />
He added: "I put together a group of writers and said, 'I don't want to hear anybody's new ideas or anyone's pitches until we have spent some time figuring out what worked on the first film, what connected, and why it worked."<br />
<br />
The writers apparently still didn't get it at first, and Cameron had to threaten that he would let them go, which eventually worked.<br />
"They kept wanting to talk about the new stories. I said, 'We aren't doing that yet.' Eventually, I had to threaten to fire them all because they were doing what writers do, which is to try and create new stories. I said, 'We need to understand what the connection was and protect it, protect that ember and that flame'," he said.<br />
<br />
The creative difference didn't cause a delay in the production. Cameron was also optimistic that 'Avatar 2' is still on track for a December 17 release this year despite the Covid pandemic.</p>

When James Cameron almost fired 'Avatar' sequel writers

<p>A television series adaptation of film director James Cameron`s hit 1994 action-comedy movie `True Lies` is currently in the works. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming series has received a pilot order at broadcast network CBS.<br />
<br />
The series is a reboot of the 1994 feature film starring actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Burn Notice`s Matt Nix will pen the script for the drama with the film`s writer and director, James Cameron, set to executive produce the potential series. McG, who has been attached to previous attempts to reboot the film, is also set to direct the pilot and executive produce. Disney-owned 20th Television is the studio on the pilot. McG`s Wonderland Sound and Vision president Mary Viola and frequent Cameron collaborator Rae Sanchini of his Lightstorm Entertainment banner will also executive produce.</p>

<br />
The pilot has the same concept as the movie. It follows the story of an unfulfilled suburban housewife, who is shocked to discover that her bland and unremarkable computer consultant husband is a skilled international spy. She is propelled into a life of danger and adventure when she is recruited to work alongside him to save the world as they try to revitalize their passionless marriage.<br />
<br />
This is the latest attempt to bring `True Lies` to television. Fox developed a take in 2017 with Arrow`s Marc Guggenheim attached to pen the script, however, it never moved forward. McG in 2019 floated that a `True Lies` TV series was in the works for Disney+.</p>

They were both taking precautions as they were seen wearing face masks and plastic face shields. Jon wrote, “Made it to New Zealand.

<p>Last month Jon Landau posted an image of the Avatar set in New Zealand and expressed his excitement at returning to work on the film in Wellington. He is the same guy who won an Oscar for his work on ‘Titanic’.</p>

<p>“Our #Avatar sets are ready — and we couldn’t be more excited to be headed back to New Zealand next week. Check out the Matador, a high speed forward command vessel (bottom) and the Picador jetboat (top) — can’t wait to share more,” he wrote.</p>
