Cameron talks 'Avatar'

"I feel just like Tom Cruise must have felt right before he started bouncing around on the couch. I hope I can live it down."

Good old Jimmy Cameron. Can I call him that? Anyway, the main man, James Cameron has
been talking to The Hollywood Reporter about his next project (880), which is called AVATAR. Shooting will take place in Los Angeles with a group of unknown actors by February according to Cameron. "Believe it or not, the shooting is a very small part of it," Cameron says. "It's a very, very big project where the shooting is like a month and a half -- not really very much. There's just so much CG, and the visual effects are a huge component. A lot of it is performance capture. We use different techniques (from, for example, Sony Pictures' upcoming 'Monster House'), but it's the same general idea."
Apparently, casting is taking place as I type.
