James Cameron

James Cameron emerged from Roger Corman’s New World Pictures where he worked on the B-movie classic Battle Beyond The Stars to take the world by storm with the uncompromising SF masterpiece The Terminator. From that moment to this day, Cameron has never let anything hamper his imagination, whether it’s pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with computer effects or pushing his actors to the limits of their physical endurance. The results have been groundbreaking action movies like The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and True Lies. Cameron then confounded everyone by producing a mainstream romantic blockbuster, Titanic, which blew away box-office records around the world. An uncompromising visionary, Cameron has changed the face of cinema with the sheer bravado of his concepts. The Pocket Essential James Cameron explores the life and work of this unique director, examining his career and reviewing and analysing each of his movies.
