James Cameron is a “Practitioner” in the magic of filmmaking.
On March 23, 1998, at the 70th Academy Awards presentation in Hollywood, “Titanic” swept the Oscars, breaking records and winning an unprecedented 11 awards, tying “Ben-Hur” (1959) for the most number of wins of any motion picture. Accepting his third Oscar of the evening – after having won Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Editor – James Cameron stood next to his producing partner Jon Landau on stage, and said of his Best Picture Oscar for “Titanic,” “We’re here tonight to celebrate the magic of movies, and I’m grateful every day to get to be a part of that magic and a practitioner in it, and I love it…”
“Titanic” went onto become the highest grossing film of all time, earning $2.
2 billion at the box office, only to be unseated by Cameron’s own “Avatar” (2009) just a few years later. For most of us who had seen Jim’s earlier films, including “The Terminator” in 1984, “Aliens” in 1986, and “True Lies” in 1994, we knew that his huge success with “Titanic” was only a film away; we saw him as an extremely talented “practitioner” in the magic of filmmaking. We also knew that, eventually, the rest of the world’s moviegoers would see what we had seen all along…a great filmmaker.
This audiobook is a celebration of James Cameron and all of his wonderfully-imaginative movies, from his early work for Roger Corman to "Piranha II: The Spawning," "The Terminator," "Aliens," "The Abyss," "Terminator Two: Judgment Day," "True Lies," "Titanic," "Avatar" and its sequels. It also includes chapters on his screenwriting, including "Rambo, First Blood-Part Two," his documentaries, and unrealized projects.
Media History Digest calls the work "enthralling... Flynn's well-written nonfiction prose tells the fascinating story of how Cameron and his team created some of the biggest blockbusters in cinema history in this well-researched book."
