The Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet says that director James Cameron had become much calmer than 20 years ago when they worked together for Titanic. Winslet and Cameron are working on the upcoming movie Avatar 2.

Winslet, recently featured in Francis Lee’s Ammonite alongside Saoirse Ronan and Avatar 2 is her next most awaited film. She started her career in acting at the age of 15 with a British TV series Dark Season. The actress gained fame after her role in the epic romance Titanic. The movie was the highest-grossing film of all time. Later, Kate played the leading roles in Revolutionary Road, Finding Neverland, Little Children, and The Reader. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress and BAFTA Award for her role as a Nazi camp guard in The Reader.

Winslet and Cameron have known each other for more than 20 years. After creating an epic love story, Titanic, Cameron created another amazing movie Avatar in 2009. It was a science fiction movie starring Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang. The movie is set in the 22nd Century revolves around humans colonizing Pandora.

Cameron wrote an 80-page script of Avatar in 1994. The film was supposed to take place just after completing the Titanic, that is, in 1999. However, the director did not have the necessary equipment for the shooting to achieve the vision he had about the film. The first film of the franchise was estimated at $237 million and was released on 10 December 2009.

The film was considered a breakthrough in the world of CGI. The second film Avatar 2, will take off where the previous movie ended. After more than ten years, now the lead character Neytiri and Sully have a family on Pandora and face an old threat.

Kate Winslet will be working with the Avatar franchise for the first time. She joined the cast, especially because of the involvement of Cameron. Recently, in an interview with Collider, Winslet shared about the different working styles Cameron. She talked about her experience working with the filmmaker after reuniting for the project. She said they both are older. When she looks back on the experience of creating Titanic, the movie was difficult. The shooting of Titanic is very stressful; however, James Cameron on Avatar is much calmer. The actress added that Cameron has stepped into his true self, and that is because of the experience. And since he has done Avatar before, he knows the world and the characters. There is a level of confidence in his work while working for the film.

The Oscar-winner also recalled the shooting time during Titanic. It required six-day every week for seven and a half months of the shoot. And almost four and a half months for the shoot of the night sequence. So filming Titanic was very stressful for the cast and the crew (the film received 14 Academy Awards nominations and won 11 out of them). Winslet said Cameron has become visibly calmer and created an open space for actors to participate in the process if anything doesn’t fit right into the scene.

Both the film Avatar 2 and Titanic involve shooting under the water. Winslet learned to hold the breath for seven minutes, and she has filmed many scenes underwater. The actress found the whole thing about the shoot very calming. Kate is very excited for the movie to release, and fans can expect to see the most speculated film Avatar 2, on 16 December 2022 in theatres.
