This story about James Cameron took us over a year to make. We cover his films, the behind-the-scenes, and the inventions that changed cinema. He can shoot with no money, and he can spend more than anyone. He sold The Terminator for one dollar and convinced Sigourney Weaver to empty a magazine from an automatic rifle. He really made a film underwater and introduced the world to the magic of computer-generated visual effects. He’s a genius and a maniac, a self-proclaimed king of the world and a guru of blockbusters. Add to that his unapologetic arrogance and unbreakable, borderline-manic self-belief, and people will love him, envy him and hate him.
This three-hour cut is a compilation of our work dedicated to his films. We didn’t cover everything, but we tried to touch on every detail that thrills us.
Enjoy the film!
