The most interesting part of film-making, at least to me, has always been special effects. From practical through to digital, it’s an interesting process.

It’s been a while since we heard about Avatar. No, not that Avatar. I’m talking about James Cameron’s 2009 sci-fi Pocahontas/Smurfs mashup that made all the other box-office contenders turn blue with envy. Cameron has indicated that he’ll be making nothing but movies based in this world for the rest of his career, with two Avatar films already set. Seems that those are …
