Scott's next film, All The Money In The World, releases in December. Maybe he'll give an update then?

Preferably James Cameron would be amazing for this...

Not on the form of the last 20 years.

Titanic and Avatar are very well-crafted movies.

Visually yes. Scripts? Pretty dire.

Still better that Prometheus and Covenant script-wise.

Has it been officially confirmed that it's gonna be December? Anyway, I've read the script and it's pretty decent.

Titanic and avatar have two of the most cliched, insipid and one note scripts I've ever seen. They have no depth or subtlety at all. Both also have cringeworthy panto villains and in titanics case borderline racism.

Funny you mention Titanic. Billy Crudup ALMOST starred in it...he was joking the film would gross $100k and his life would have been the same ever since.

:D

But anyway, Titanic for me was a disaster of a film on almost every level. And second tidbit of trivia, I know someone whose grandmother had survived the Titanic catastrophe...

Yep, I went to see Titanic in the movies as a part of a class trip in primary school and it seemed god awful then and it never seemed any better for me even if so many years passed.

It's a long time since I sat through it, what is the racism in the film?  Bear in mind it's set in 1912 so racism isn't necessarily out of place in a bold script about class distinctions.

Script is not a movie. The same way a book is not its adaptation. Good director knows how to transfer what's written on the paper onto the screen. Cameron plays safe and I don't have any problems with that. I rather watch safely approached movie that mess full of I-don't-know-what-to-do ideas.

.

Xenophobic is probably more accurate. It has the worst kind of stereotypes. The Irish are all hard drinking, partying salts of the earth, all the english are just twats and of course the hero is an American. If your gonna make a film about class divide at least understand that's not exclusive to nationality. It always really bugged me about it, everything about the film is in such simplistic terms

Well you're in luck cause 99% of studio output these days is exactly that, safe. Unfortunately is not a view I share.

Now you remind, yes, the cliches of national character are woefully poor in Titanic. One of many issues in a horribly shallow epic. I'll always just watch A Night to Remember by Roy Ward Baker if I want to see a genuinely effective and faithful telling of the events.

Exactly, it's not even the best film about the Titanic!

What's worse is that they use most of the historical characters as window dressing. That was one of my disappointments when I saw the film for the first time. I agree with gash, A Night to Remember is the better film that deals with the Titanic. Its a pity Cameron did his film, because it would have been great for a remake of this film with the scale of the 97 film that included everything that we all know now regarding the state of the wreck. Oh well.

All you guys hating on Titanic are nuts. Titanic was an incredible movie. The story was great, and the special effects were great, and yes obviously the music was great....So that's why everyone watched it too many times....and now why everyone hates it.  It won like every award it could the year it came out, and until Avatar it was the top grossing movie of all time. Your opinion is great, but the statistics just aren't on your side.

Cameron is able to write a story that makes sense.That's arguably what people hated most about Prometheus and Alien Covenant...The story.

Also I think  if Cameron showed even the faintest interest in returning to the Alien Franchise they would open their piggy banks, and literally fire anyone already involved in it...including Ridley Scott.

I'm not fan of Titanic but saying it's a bad (or any other synonym) movie it's exaggeration. Movie was made in 1997 for 200 millions. It was the most expensive film at that time. What did you expect? It's romantic drama for masses. From teenage girls, housewives to grannies. It's not typical movie for male Alien fans, is it?
