There are but a few ironclad certainties in life: death, taxes, and the fact that you should never, ever bet against James Cameron. The celebrated filmmaker has made an unparalleled career out of taking some of the most ambitious (and wildly expensive) concepts imaginable and spinning straw into box office gold. Of late, that talent has largely been confined to the world of “Avatar,” which has consumed practically the last two decades of his life. But even though the franchise is set to dominate for at least another three entries (and possibly more, though Cameron himself has stated he wouldn’t be as heavily involved with those), it appears that the director is finally tearing his gaze away from the far-flung world of Pandora and setting his sights on a production much closer to home.
