James Cameron has directed two Terminator movies: The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). The sci-fi action franchise is one of the oldest and longest-running in Hollywood. Cameron’s movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton, and Paul Winfield.
Recently, in an interview, the Avatar director said that he would think thoroughly before making movies like The Terminator. The director revealed that when he was making the 1984 movie, he realised he knew nothing about guns. However, he further stated that it’s America, and he can just go buy a gun wherever he wants.

James Cameron confirmed to People magazine that he already has ideas locked in for “Avatar 6” and “Avatar 7,” which would expand his record-breaking franchise well beyond the planned 2031 theatrical release of “Avatar 5.” The Oscar winner is currently in post-production on “Avatar 3” and still has around half of “Avatar 4” left to shoot. Disney has the next three “Avatar” movies on its theatrical release calendar. The future of the franchise beyond “Avatar 5” is taking shape in Cameron’s head.
“We’re fully written through movie five, and I’ve got ideas for six and seven, although I’ll probably be handing the baton on at that point,” Cameron told People magazine. “Mortality catches up. But I mean, we’re enjoying what we’re doing. We’re loving it. We get to work with great people.”
It’s clear the “Avatar” franchise will continue even if Cameron is not in the director’s chair.

Sam Worthington told People magazine at the premiere of his Netflix heist thriller “Lift” that the cast of James Cameron’s “Avatar” films are gearing up to return to production in February. The director is currently deep into post-production on “Avatar 3,” which Disney has given a 2025 release date. Cameron has also shot all of the live-action scenes for “Avatar 4” that take place before a time jump in the story. The remainder of the fourth film still needs to be filmed.
“We go back to work on it in a month and it’s big,” Worthington said of the next “Avatar” films. “It’s bigger than you can imagine.”
Cameron recently told People magazine that “Avatar 3″ is “right on track” for its December 2025 release date. The film has been worked on since before the second movie, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” opened in theaters in December 2022 and became the...

Shortly after the release of the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora video game, James Cameron is sharing more details about Avatar 4. Before spilling the beans about the fourth film, Cameron wants fans to know Avatar 3 is “right on track” for its December 19, 2025 release in theaters.
“We did the capture on three and the live-action photography on three as an intermingled production with [Avatar: The Way of Water], and we even did part of movie four because our young characters are all going to have a big time jump in movie four,” Cameron told People.
Meanwhile, wheels are in motion for Avatar 4, which Cameron says includes a six-year time jump (presumably after the events of Avatar 3). “We see them and then we go away for six years and we come back,” Cameron says about the 2029 release. “And so the part where we come back is the part we haven’t shot yet.

James Cameron recently told People magazine that “Avatar 3” is “right on track” for its December 2025 release date. The film has been worked on since before the second “Avatar” movie, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” opened in theaters in December 2022 and became the third-highest grossing film in history with $2.3 billion worldwide. Cameron shot “Avatar 3” and chunks of “Avatar 4” concurrently with “The Way of Water” to ensure age continuity among his characters.
“We did the [motion capture] capture on three and the live-action photography on three as an intermingled production with [‘Avatar: The Way of Water’], and we even did part of movie four because our young characters are all going to have a big time jump in movie four,” Cameron said.

James Cameron revealed last month that he’s currently knee deep in the “very hectic” post-production of “Avatar 3.” Neither the director nor Disney is ready to unveil the title for “Avatar 3,” but it sounds like it won’t be “The Seed Bearer” as Cameron once considered.
The titles for Cameron’s “Avatar” sequels have become social media fodder ever since November 2018 when the BBC reported the four movies would have the following names: “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Avatar: The Seed Bearer,” “Avatar: The Tulkun Rider,” and “Avatar: The Quest for Eywa.”
Cameron told Entertainment Tonight in 2019: “I can neither confirm nor deny — alright, here’s what I’ll tell ya: Those titles are among titles that are in consideration. And no final decisions have been made yet.”
“The Way of Water” ended up being the accurate title of the second “Avatar” movie, which opened in theaters...

James Cameron has provided an update on Avatar 3, which he says is in ‘hectic’ post-production, and on track for release in late 2025.
Whatever you thought about last year’s Avatar: The Way Of Water, we can all at least agree that James Cameron delivered on the promise of its title. The sci-fantasy sequel sure had a lot of water in it.
Thankfully, the gap between The Way Of Water and its sequel will be much smaller than the 13-year expanse which separated the 2022 film from the original Avatar, which came out in 2009. In fact, the recent strikes that have caused all sorts of disruptions in Hollywood haven’t affected Avatar 3′s long-scheduled release in December 2025.
Speaking at a live event in New Zealand, Cameron confirmed that Avatar 3 is now in a “very hectic two years of post-production,” and will emerge at “Christmas of 2025.”

James Cameron described post-production on “Avatar 3” as “hectic” during a recent New Zealand press conference moderated by 1News chief correspondent John Campbell. Cameron used the discussion to celebrate New Zealand as his main production hub, announcing his plan to make movies there “indefinitely” and revealing that he will finally become a New Zealand citizen in 2024. Cameron has been working in New Zealand since 2005, when the first “Avatar” movie started development.
“We’re into a very hectic two years of post-production right now,” Cameron confirmed when asked about the third “Avatar” movie. “So it will be Christmas of 2025.”
Disney announced in June that Cameron’s three upcoming “Avatar” sequels were being pushed back on the release calendar yet again, extending the franchise into 2031. The studio, which acquired the franchise after its merger with Fox, had originally planned to release Cameron’s additional “Avatar” sequels two years apart from one another,...

The Netflix film follows Cami, a young woman who starts to doubt her relationship with her partner Paul when two other men enter her life. Choose Love stars Laura Marano, Avan Jogia, Scott Michael Foster, and Jordi Webber.

So, if you loved Choose Love here are some similar movies you could watch next.

For as much as HBO's "Game of Thrones" became known for its excessive sexuality and big-budget blockbuster sequences, it had gained notoriety early on for something simpler: Killing off fan-favorite characters, and refusing anything like a happy ending. While that came straight from the source material, George R.R. Martin's long-running series of fantasy novels, it also defied conventional television wisdom, leaving the show with a complicated legacy.
For instance, the death of de facto protagonist Ned Stark (Sean Bean) in the penultimate episode of the show's first season was shocking and brutal. Considering he was played by a movie star and was one of the few genuinely good-hearted people in the show, his execution spoke to the show's ambition. If he could die, anybody could. And they often did.

Cast your mind back to season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones." Those who had read the books by George R.R. Martin that the series was based on had quite the dilemma. How would we keep from spoiling the Red Wedding? This was a huge event in the books, and readers spent a lot of time trying to keep it a secret as our non-reader counterparts sat on the couch next to us and tried to watch episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere."
If you have somehow managed to avoid what happened, here's a refresher. After Robb Stark (Richard Madden) loses half of his army through desertion, he and his mother, Catelyn (Michelle Fairley), visit House Frey for aid.

Are you craving some spy action? If you’ve exhausted the Bond franchise, completed the Mission: Impossible collection, and revisited the Bourne movies more times than is medically advisable, perhaps it’s time to look to television.
A lot of different shows come under the heading of a “spy thriller”. You’ll find action, family drama, comedy, politics and even the odd alien invasion all represented in this list. But there are a few things that they all have in common. They all feature twists and turns and characters keeping deep, dark secrets. They all have a tendency towards ruthlessness – don’t get too attached to any one person! The possibility that any character in the show might be killed off at any moment, up to and including the protagonist, is one of the things that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. And they are all compelling, unmissable TV.

When James Cameron’s fifth “Avatar” movie opens in theaters in 2031, Zoe Saldaña will end a whopping 26-year journey playing the Na’vi warrior and devoted mother Neytiri. How’s that for character longevity? Disney announced June 13 that Cameron’s three upcoming “Avatar” sequels have been pushed back on the release calendar yet again, extending the franchise into 2031.
“Great! I’m gonna be 53 when the last ‘Avatar’ comes out,” Saldaña humorously posted on her Instagram alongside a shocked face emoji. “I was 27 when I shot the very first ‘Avatar.'”
Saldaña’s co-star Sam Worthington, who stars as Jake Sully in the franchise, will be 55 years old when the final “Avatar” movie hits theaters. Cameron will be 77 years old.
The second “Avatar” movie, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” opened in theaters last December, 13 years after the original movie broke box office records to become the highest-grossing movie of all time...

Can you believe that June 2 will mark the 10-year anniversary of the Red Wedding scene in “Game of Thrones”? Richard Madden, whose character Robb Stark met a grisly end in the episode, recalls filming the bloody massacre.
“I remember a lot of crying because at the end of it, I was going to be apart from my family that I had lived with for five years — my on-screen mother and my wife and this crew that had spent a lot of time together, so it was traumatic not only to shoot but traumatic because I was losing my family,” the actor told me at the premiere of his Amazon Prime Video series “Citadel.”
The Red Wedding included the slaughter of several major and minor characters on the show, including Robb, his mother Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley), his bride Talisa Stark (Oona Chaplin) and their unborn child.

Done right, a cliffhanger can be the most effective plot device on television.
The best can leave you tearing out your hair, wishing the next episode was available immediately. The greatest offer mystery by teasing answers but never making the outcome obvious. The worst, the ones that make you want to stop watching a show, are often those that “jump the shark”.
For many years, the benchmark for great cliffhangers was the “Who shot Jr?” storyline on Dallas, the American TV show that caused a media storm in 1980. So widely talked about was the twist that Jimmy Carter even joked about the fictional murder during his second presidential campaign.
The cliffhanger soon developed into something more than just being a “whodunit”. Sitcoms – such as The Office US and Friends – went on to incorporate the device to tease relationships, keeping viewers coming back for resolution. Soaps, from EastEnders to Neighbours, have...

Avatar: The Way of Water has exceeded expectations to become one of the highest-grossing movies ever. The sci-fi epic sealed Cameron’s fate in bringing the rest of his vision to the big screen. And as Cameron knows — there is no fate but what we make for ourselves. One of the fates that Cameron is rumored to be making is a nine-hour cut of Avatar 3. The massive, massive narrative would be broken down into a limited series and released on Disney+, according to MovieWeb.
Cameron boldly filmed both The Way of Water and its follow-up back-to-back, and the third movie is said to now be in its huge post-production process. Avatar 3 is still intended to be released theatrically with all the bells and whistles on December 20, 2024. However, this would likely be a more manageable runtime at a mere three hours. It was reported that last year Cameron submitted...

Grave robbing is a lot like "The Star Wars Holiday Special," in that it's kinda neat to watch when Harrison Ford is doing it, but for the most part, nobody approves.
The bizarre act of digging up a human corpse and stealing it for unnatural purposes is the sort of thing we've grown accustomed to in movies. The image of Dr. Frankenstein kicking up the soil in search of really big corpses is pretty much burned into our brains. Grave robbing is the sort of thing villains do if the bodies are fresh, and heroes do if the bodies are really, really old — or if the body is fresh and belongs to Superman, that's probably the biggest ethical loophole.
But in real life, celebrities aren't usually known for digging up corpses for personal gain. That's the sort of thing that happens to celebrities more often than the other way around.

Five and a half years ago, it was announced that Oona Chaplin – who is best known for playing Talisa Maegyr on Game of Thrones, and for being the granddaughter of the legendary Charlie Chaplin – had been cast in James Cameron’s Avatar sequels. And now, thanks to producer Jon Landau, we finally know who Chaplin will be playing. Last month, Cameron revealed that Avatar 3 will introduce a villainous tribe of Na’vi known as the Ash People, and speaking with Empire (with thanks to Variety for passing it along), Landau gave the information that Chaplin’s character is the leader of this “aggressive, volcanic race” known as the Ash People. Her character’s name is Varang.
Landau explained, “There are good humans and there are bad humans. It’s the same thing on the Na’vi side. Oftentimes, people don’t see themselves as bad. What is the root...

Where will “Avatar: The Way Of Water” end up on the highest-grossing movie of all time list? It currently sits at #4 with a 2.13 billion total gross, just shy of “Titanic” at 2.19 billion. Looking ahead, “Water” overtaking “Titanic” (no pun intended) feels inevitable. But looking further than that, where will the upcoming “Avatar” sequels land on that all-time list when they hit theaters in 2024, 2026, and 2028?

Avatar producer Jon Landau has divulged new details about what we can expect from the next three installments in the franchise — first, when it comes to the nature of Oona Chaplin’s previously announced role in Avatar 3.
The Game of Thrones alum — also known as the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin — has been cast in the role of Varang, the leader of the more evil, fire-themed Na’vi tribe known as the Ash People, which will be at the crux of the third installment.
“There are good humans and there are bad humans. It’s the same thing on the Na’vi side,” Landau recently told Empire, echoing comments previously made by filmmaker James Cameron about the subject up for exploration in Avatar 3. “Oftentimes, people don’t see themselves as bad.

As “Avatar: The Way of Water” continues to dominate the worldwide box office (it’s currently the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time with 2.13 billion), the future of James Cameron’s Na’vi franchise is coming into clearer focus. Cameron has already shot “Avatar 3” and parts of “Avatar 4,” and “The Way of Water” has performed strong enough that “Avatar 5” is likely to move forward as well.
In a new interview with Empire magazine, “Avatar” producer Jon Landau dropped some new details about what fans can expect from the next three sequels. Cameron had teased that “Avatar 3” would introduce a more antagonistic race of Na’vi. Landau said that group is the Ash People, described by Empire as “an aggressive, volcanic race” of Na’vi whose leader is Varang, played by “Game of Thrones” alum and Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter Oona Chaplin.

Hot on the heels of "Avatar: The Way of Water," Empire Magazine already has a scoop about a key piece of casting news for the franchise's next sequel. "Game of Thrones" star Oona Chaplin was announced as a castmate for the sequels a full five years ago now, but details about her character are finally being made public. According to the March 2023 issue of Empire, the actress best known for playing Rob Stark's doomed wife Talisa will here play Varang, the leader of the Ash people.
If the Ash people don't sound particularly familiar, it's because they haven't been introduced yet. In December, director James Cameron did reveal to the French outlet 20 Minutes that the Ash people will be a fire tribe that isn't exactly as honorable and heroic as the Na'vi tribes we've seen so far.

Warning: contains finale spoilers for Netflix’s Treason
Netflix’s five-part limited series Treason was released on Boxing Day and has a promising pedigree, as creator Matt Charman was Oscar-nominated for co-writing the screenplay for Steven Spielberg’s 2015 film Bridge of Spies. With just five episodes of about 45 minutes each, it’s a quick series to consume and digest over a couple of cold winter evenings, but it did come with something of a surprise in its tail… Spoilers ahead.
The Fate of Adam Lawrence
Halfway through the final episode, the show’s apparent protagonist, Adam Lawrence (Charlie Cox) is unexpectedly shot dead. CIA agent Dede Alexander (Tracy Ifeachor) has been convinced by corrupt Control of MI6 Sir Martin Angelis (Ciarán Hinds) that Adam is the double agent code-named ‘Dorian’ that everyone is trying to track down. Dede confronts Adam and holds him at gunpoint, demanding that Adam’s wife...

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story has become the third most-watched original film Netflix has ever released.
The film, a sequel to Rian Johnson’s 2019 murder mystery Knives Out, was released on the streaming service before Christmas.
With 209.4 million hours viewed, Glass Onion has leapfrogged films such as The Grey Man and Bird Box to claim its place in the top three.
However, it currently falls short of Netflix’s two most-watched films ever: Don’t Look Up and Red Notice.
Don’t Look Up, released in December 2021, is an environmental satire directed by The Big Short’s Adam McKay, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep. The film garnered 359.8 million hours viewed within the first 28 days of release.
Red Notice, also released in 2021, is currently the most-watched English-language film on the streaming service, having accumulated 364 million hours viewed. The film is a twisty heist thriller starring Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne...

Netflix has given viewers instructions for how to watch its new series Kaleidoscope “as a Quentin Tarantino film”.
The series, released on the streaming service last week, is non-linear, meaning that all of the episodes bar the finale can be watched in any order.
Viewers have shared their own theories regarding the optimal order to watch the episodes, while some have made sure to warn others of one important mistake to avoid.
On Twitter, the official Netflix account shared four suggestions for the order in which to screen the episodes.
The first option suggested is in chronological order, with episodes lined up to follow the timeline sequentially from 24 years before the heist, through to its six-month aftermath.
Secondly, Netflix proposes a way to watch the series “as a Tarantino film”, jumping around in time between the past, present and future. Tarantino has been known for deploying similar non-linear plot structures...

Oona Chaplin has revealed that her new Netflix spy drama Treason was originally supposed to end quite differently.
Chaplin stars as Maddy, a former army medic and wife of high-flying MI6 operative Adam Lawrence (Charlie Cox), in the recently released series.
*Warning – Major spoilers ahead for the Treason finale*
In a major twist, Treason kills off its lead star, Cox, midway through the final episode.
Chaplin told The Independent in an interview that the series’ producers had to call her while they were halfway through shooting to let her know that the ending had been changed.
“I know that they were kind of toing and froing about it because nobody really wants to kill Charlie Cox,” she said of the decision.
“But they called me and they said, ‘Okay, brace yourself. Are you sitting down? We've made a change. This is what's happening.’ And I was like, you’ve got...

James Cameron will not be remiss if his career ends with his expansive Avatar saga.
The acclaimed director is currently working on the final three instalments of the fantasy franchise after the second, Avatar: The Way of the Water, hit theatres 16 December.
Avatar 3 is already in post-production and parts of Avatar 4 have already been filmed.
In a Q&a with fellow directors for Empire magazine, Cameron was asked by Rrr director SS Rajamouli whether he ever felt bad that he was not able to tell all of the stories he wanted to because of the time consumption of Avatar.
“Hi, SS. Two thoughts in answer to your question,” Cameron responded, “the first is that the world of Avatar is so sprawling that I can tell most of the stories I want to tell within it and try many of the stylistic techniques that I hope to explore.

“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Thus spoke Jesus on the Mount of Olives, when confronted by a woman charged with adultery. We are all sinners, he proclaimed, our judgement skewed. This is also the position seemingly held by Frances Poletti, creator of twisty new ITV four-parter Without Sin. There’s some Biblical-level forgiveness required in this drama about the fallout from a teenage girl’s murder.

Husband Paul (Perry Fitzpatrick) has moved on with another woman, but Stella is still struggling.

It’s a weird day to interview Oona Chaplin. The most anticipated film of the year, James Cameron’s Avatar sequel The Way of Water, has just been released, and Chaplin is set to take on a key role in the already filmed third instalment. We’re not talking about that, though. We’re chatting about her new Netflix spy thriller series Treason, which she stars in alongside Daredevil’s Charlie Cox and former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko. It’s the kind of bingeable crime caper that has become synonymous with the BBC over the years. However, this Boxing Day, as people roll out of bed heavy with yesterday’s indulgences, many will flick through Netflix, not the terrestrial channels, and land on Treason, where they will spend the next four hours.

Treason is a spy series created by Louise Hooper and Sarah O’Gorman. Charlie Cox, Olga Kurylenko and Ciarán Hinds are the three stars in this series, where they take on interesting roles as spies. The screenplay is written by Matt Charman.
Treason is a very entertaining action series about Russian spies in which Olga Kurylenko proves to be a versatile actress who knows how to take on varied roles, and adapting to the script as it evolves.
Treason (2022)
In this series you will find a bit of everything and probably be to the liking to thriller fans; while viewers who are not into espionage intrigues, you might enjoy this story of three characters that have to fluctuate from being deadly serious, to being mere humans.
Treason is has all the ingredients that will allow you to have a good time. It is not perfect, nor does it pretend to be.

What would it take for you to believe that your partner has been compromised by a foreign power? Muttered Russian words in their sleep? A stash of secret documents under the floorboards? Mysterious phone calls during movie night? These are the questions posed in Netflix’s new conspiracy thriller, Treason, which finds Charlie Cox at the reins of MI6 but under the spotlight of both the CIA and his wife.
Adam Lawrence (Cox) becomes the new C, head of the Secret Intelligence Service, after his predecessor (Ciarán Hinds) is poisoned in a London private members’ club. “Your whole career has been building up to this,” his wife Maddy (Oona Chaplin) tells him. “Will you still be taking the bins out?” Of course Adam will still be taking the bins out! That’s because he balances a high-flying career with being a reliable family man. Two kids from his first marriage,...

As we head into the Christmas holidays, it seems like a good time for my semi-annual discussion of in medias res openings. You know, that thing where something exciting but confusing is happening for a minute or two at the top of a TV episode and then you get a “Two Weeks Earlier” title card.
You see them all the time and mostly, I hate to say, they’re not very good.
As I figure it, there are exactly two correct uses for an in medias res opening.
Use one: Present a scene so outlandish and packed with bizarre details that curiosity is unavoidable. A man wakes up in bed. The camera pulls back to reveal that he’s spooning with Dr. Ruth. The camera pulls back to reveal that the man and Dr. Ruth are surrounded by the corpses of 50 adorable white rabbits.

At long last, “Avatar 2” has arrived. James Cameron has been teasing this sequel for a literal decade, and we’ve watched as Cameron and Co. have developed and given status updates on the four “Avatar” sequels that he put together at the same time. We’ve also watched as release dates have come and gone, but with “Avatar: The Way of Water” finally in theaters and footage for multiple additional sequels already in the can, we are well on our way to “Avatar 3” and beyond.
Since Cameron developed this as a four-film story that continues on after his 2009 film, many may have questions about “Avatar 3” – namely when does it come out, who’s in it, and what do we know about the story? Here’s everything we know about “Avatar 3” so far.

This post contains spoilers for "Game of Thrones." Additionally, some of the deaths described are rather graphic, and a few involve children.
If there's one thing "Game of Thrones" is known for, it's gratuitous nudity and sex. If there's two things, it's bloody and often shocking violence. Indeed, a large part of the show's draw is that nobody is safe. The Starks are the closest thing to traditional heroes, and they get the pointy end of the stick more than anyone else. If there's any plot armor to be found in Westeros, it's made of tin foil.
As impressive as the show's body count is, some of the deaths are simply more — more vicious, more disturbing, and more stomach-churning. There's a reason one of the most infamous moments in all of television happened on "Game of Thrones" and was christened the Red Wedding. As gruesome as that scene is, it's...
