The sanctity of the theater-going experience is something I never really want to see go away,\u201d he told Britain\u2019s Daily Telegraph newspaper. \u201cI actually don\u2019t think it will go away, but people shouldn\u2019t be denied the option of seeing a film on the big screen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The 62-year-old then stated that he feels a need to make films that need to be viewed in the cinema, and explained that people continue to desire \u201can experience you can\u2019t control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Cameron also spoke about his famous intensity on film sets, and the impact his work ethic has had on his relationships, including his separation from fourth wife Linda Hamilton within days of his Oscar victory for Titanic. He now divides his time between California and his home in New Zealand, where he is helming the Avatar sequels, and has praised his wife Suzy Amis for keeping him grounded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cShe\u2019s been through Avatar with me. She knows what\u2019s coming over the horizon. She is very supportive. And I\u2019ve found a way to integrate filmmaking into my life. Part of it is about not taking filmmaking that seriously. I probably have a healthier attitude than I had making The Terminator or Terminator 2,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Elsewhere, Cameron explained that he sometimes wishes he had some input on the recent sequels to his hit films helmed by other directors \u2013 such as the recent Alien or Terminator reboots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIf I had 20 minutes with the filmmaker ahead of time, I might have been able to help. But that\u2019s just not how this business works,\u201d he mused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.hollywood.com\/general\/james-cameron-blasts-netflixs-stupid-film-release-strategy-60695447\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/movies\/james-cameron-blasts-netflix-stupid-film-release-strategy.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Cameron blasts Netflix stupid film release strategy James Cameron blasts Netflix stupid film release strategy:- James Cameron is not a fan of Netflix\u2019s strategy to coincide cinema releases with home streaming.
