James Cameron: An Illustrated Biography. From Titanic to Avatar

“Imagination is a force that can truly show reality.” — James Cameron

James Cameron is one of the most successful—and perhaps one of the most large-scale—directors of the modern era. He creates amazing worlds with no equals. He is a recognized genius of blockbuster filmmaking! Cameron started his path in cinema with the failed film “Piranha II,” but then—against all odds—rose to the top of Hollywood, making blockbuster after blockbuster: “The Terminator,” “Aliens,” “The Abyss,” “Titanic”—and collecting prestigious film awards.

All of us inevitably cried over the ending of “Titanic” or worried for Sarah Connor in “The Terminator.” And there’s no doubt that the whole world is holding its breath waiting for the second part of “Avatar.”

This book is a real encyclopedia of Cameron’s work. Inside you’ll find a chronicle of his creative life, the entire path—from “The Terminator” and “The Abyss” to the unprecedented “Avatar.” How he began, what inspired him, what got in his way, and, most importantly, what to expect from him in the future.
