James Francis Cameron, a renowned Canadian film director, producer, screenwriter, editor, and inventor, was born on August 16, 1954, in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada. His estimated nett worth is $700 million. Cameron is undoubtedly the “king of hollywood” as the creator of the most successful movie ever. Avatar has altered the way Hollywood produces movies and has brought in over $2.7 billion at the box office alone. On Avatar 2, Cameron is already hard at work. He will continue to make a lot of money from his older pictures, including Titanic, which brought in a combined $3 billion, for many years to come. He is already hard at work on the movie’s two upcoming 2014 and 2015 sequels.
James Cameron, the top action director of his generation and one of the supposedly most demanding and challenging, helped to redefine Hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s with a series of successful, multimillion-dollar productions notable for fusing technical prowess with human sensibility. As one of the highest grossing films in the history of the medium, James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster Titanic served as an example of this fusion of components.
Approximately US$2 billion of Cameron’s overall directing earnings came from North America, and US$6 billion came from the rest of the world.Cameron won the Bradbury Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 1991, but because he was predominantly recognised as a genre filmmaker before Titanic, he did not win any other significant mainstream cinema honours. Cameron shared the Best Film Editing, Best Picture, and Best Director Oscars for Titanic with Conrad Buff, Richard A. Harris, and Jon Landau. For the movie, he also received a Golden Globe for best director.
