James Cameron: Netflix Criticism, Billie Eilish 3D Film, and the Jurassic Park That Almost Was

James Cameron BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

James Cameron has been making headlines in the past few days for several major developments. According to The Town and Dark Horizons, Cameron recently voiced strong criticism of Netflix’s approach to theatrical releases, calling their strategy “rotten to the core.” Speaking with Matt Belloni, Cameron expressed hope that Paramount would win the bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, arguing that Netflix’s brief theatrical rollouts for awards qualification are insincere and undermine the true spirit of cinema. He insisted that films should have a meaningful theatrical run—ideally in at least 2,000 theaters for a month—to be eligible for major awards, and he dismissed Netflix’s promises of theatrical releases as “sucker bait.”

On the creative front, Cameron is generating buzz for his collaboration with pop star Billie Eilish. Consequence, The Movie Blog, and Boardroom all confirm that Cameron is co-directing a 3D concert film titled HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), which will premiere in theaters on March 20th. Eilish announced the news during her final tour stop in San Francisco and shared a photo with Cameron on Instagram, calling the project a “dream come true.” The film is expected to be a major event in both the music and film worlds, showcasing Cameron’s continued influence in immersive cinema.

Cameron also made news with a candid admission in Empire Magazine and World of Reel, revealing that he almost directed Jurassic Park before Steven Spielberg secured the rights. Cameron joked that his version would have been much darker and R-rated, more like Aliens with dinosaurs, but acknowledged Spielberg’s approach was the right fit for the franchise.

Meanwhile, Cameron is preparing for the theatrical release of Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 19th, keeping him at the forefront of both industry debates and blockbuster filmmaking.
