Regisseur

James Cameron

Geboren 16 augustus 1954 · Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada

James Francis Cameron (geboren op 16 augustus 1954) is een Canadese filmmaker. Hij is een belangrijke figuur in het post-New Hollywood-tijdperk en gebruikt vaak nieuwe technologieën met een klassieke filmstijl. Cameron kreeg eerst erkenning voor het schrijven en regisseren van The Terminator (1984), en vond verder succes met Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) en True Lies (1994), evenals Avatar (2009) en de vervolgen daarvan. Hij regisseerde, schreef, coproduceerde en monteerde Titanic (1997), dat Academy Awards won voor Beste Film, Beste Regisseur en Beste Filmmontage. Hij heeft diverse andere onderscheidingen uit de industrie ontvangen, en drie van zijn films zijn geselecteerd voor behoud in het National Film Registry door de Library of Congress. Cameron was medeoprichter van de productiebedrijven Lightstorm Entertainment, Digital Domain en Earthship Productions. Naast filmmaken is hij een National Geographic-ontdekkingsreiziger-in-residentie. Hij heeft vele documentaires over diepzee-exploratie geproduceerd, waaronder Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) en Aliens of the Deep (2005). Cameron heeft ook bijgedragen aan onderwaterfilmen en technologieën voor externe voertuigen en hielp bij het creëren van het digitale 3D Fusion Camera System. In 2012 werd Cameron de eerste persoon die solo de Marianentreng, het diepste deel van de oceaan van de aarde, afdaalde met de Deepsea Challenger-onderzeeër. Camerons films hebben wereldwijd meer dan 8 miljard dollar opgebracht, waarmee hij de op één na best verdienende filmregisseur is. Drie van Camerons films behoren tot de vier best verdienende films aller tijden; Avatar (2009), Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) en Titanic (1997) zijn respectievelijk de hoogst, derde en vierde best verdienende films aller tijden. Cameron regisseerde de eerste film met meer dan 1 miljard dollar, de eerste twee films met meer dan 2 miljard dollar, en is de enige regisseur met drie films die meer dan 2 miljard dollar opbrachten. In 2010 noemde Time Cameron een van de 100 meest invloedrijke mensen ter wereld. Cameron is ook milieuactivist en runt verschillende duurzaamheidsbedrijven.
