James Cameron explains why he could never direct James Wan’s ‘Aquaman’

'Entourage' fans may remember back in the summer of 2006 that James Cameron helmed an Aquaman movie that earned $116 million in its opening weekend. Don't remember? It's because it only exists in the 'Entourage' extended universe. James Cameron talks about the James Wan version that has broken box office records in this interview with Yahoo Entertainment.

is it me or James Cameron knows how to politely throw shade into a movie? without making it look like he is actually throwing shade??

[Produceriamcease]

I love how he said we’re directing underwater scenes in the Avatar sequel and you will definitely notice the difference. He damn sure was right Lmaooo 😂

[GabrielHR]

James Cameron is basically a sociologist and definitely realist when it comes to his art even if it's fantasy or extra terrestrial he always portrays things in a very surreal way and that's what's so beautiful and captivating about his work.

I think all he wants to say is that, it's just not his style. He's more into physically realistic type of visuals that the audience could relate and feel. like, to really show how it really is underwater. Imagine you were born under the sea and spent your whole life in the water, what he's trying to say is, regarding aquaman, is that actually how it would look like? But since it's a comic film and can rely more into animated effects and take fiction as a reason to believe, it would be acceptable. By the way, i'm a fan of aquaman. It's beautiful.

Shut up and take my money for Avatar 2 James.

[StevenSnider]

i simply cannot wait to see how realistic and visual pleasing the oceans of Pandora are next year, so much hype building for avatar 2!

[softlife]

Love James Cameron, he is telling the truth.

[BijanHdr]

Actually he did direct Aquaman in a tv series" Entourage" 😉

[c.a.pproductions]

And then he went and made the best looking cg water ever with Avatar: The way of the water. That's a filmmaker

[saveourearth]

I love James C but I love JW more because the tiny guy is the king of versatility.

[maverick]

Cameron doing his best not to say Aquaman was utter garbage.

[justSomeUserOnYT]

I love how the only reason they are asking James Cameron about Aquaman is because Entourage season 2.

[luisz]

The Aquaman movie’s appeal wasn’t that it was cinema or had some fantastic shakespearian plot or oscar acting but that it was a visually masterfully made movie. Aquaman had some fantastic visuals and likeable lead. Aquaman isn’t built to be a cinematic masterpiecez

[apoorvv]

Cameron just saying about avatar with such confidence is enough for me to rush to theatre

[drw_predator]

You guys realize or remember that James Cameron's The Abyss was the Reason why Aquaman was visually stunning and advancement of Hollywood
And Entourage series

[TheJennyWalaShow]

Oh god! its exactly how I felt watching Aquaman, there's no logic to some of the underwater battle and fight scenes. is Aquaman flying? or does is it mind over water.

[sclogse]

This guy is gonna kick our asses. I was hoping for some 2021 chitchat...

[creativevit]

Cameron's polite way to say that the AquaMan is a total garbage )

[adityakulkarni]

Hey people stop arguing here. The ultimate point is Cameron is not a superhero movie director. So his asthetic lies in making a sci fi movies which are still grounded in reality.

[austingraham]

I agree with him. Hes going to show all of us how it is done.
