The new issue of Empire contains our ace winter preview, and nestled among its pages is a look at James Cameron's Avatar, with on-set reporting and a few choice words from Cameron, star Sam Worthington and producer Jon Landau. But also there we have this on-set picture of Cameron, wrestling with this movie's version of a mini-gun.
"It's a movie about bullies," Worthington told us on set. "The humans have come to tear into the Na'vi planet and strip-mine it. We're telling a story that's relevant now. It's filled wtih typical James Cameron messages, especially technology overrunning us all, which is what nearly all his movies are about.
