Incl that they developed a new material for her... The craftmanship he encountered there she told she nver had experienced efore. Was in UK Handcraft in UK's studios is often done in up to 4th generation. A plasterer there only does plasterer work, see 4th generation example, gains a quality a lot of the US actors were seemingly very surprised about. Not saying they are generally better, but at least some are really really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 21 hours ago, Walt Disney said: Of course they will. That's exactly what James Cameron wants. Cameron negotiated his contract with Fox, which carries over to Disney. So he wants Disney to market these sequels like crazy, so they make huge profits, so that Cameron makes huge profits. He wants Avatar Land to be successful because it helps promote the movie and he personally helped design Avatar Land (and you can be sure that it was more expensive that way because James Cameron is big on quality). But additionally, Cameron will get a percentage of merchandising. And Disney's consumer products division is much better than Fox's. That's an added revenue stream. Also, Emma Watts is still working for Disney as an executive at 20th Century Fox, and she is the one with the great working relationship with James Cameron. If we're just looking at this from James Cameron's perspective (which I know no one is, me included), Disney buying Fox is a good thing. I love the bit about how unfair it is that others benefit from "Jim's Hard Work". I guess the idea that Fox/Disney'Paramount (for the new Treminator film) are the ones who are giving Cameron the money to makes his movies is a concept beyond them. If Cameron wants to get all the benefits of his hard work, he can finance his own films. At tiems the Cameron fanboys are just plain not too smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that give credence to my opinion to not take all that pre-merger talk like that one, too serious: https://www.wsj.com/articles/its-getting-awkward-at-foxs-movie-studio-as-disney-deal-looms-1533906010 Two Fox movie divisions are likely to survive, though. Disney CEO Robert Iger has publicly touted Fox Searchlight, which makes “prestige” films like last year’s best picture Oscar winner “The Shape of Water” and Fox 2000, which specializes in literary adaptations such as the teen coming-out story “Love, Simon,” which came out earlier this year. Everything is on the table, specially when the getting close to 80 year's old employee during the merger retire and get replaced, but even with them still in place, they will learn a lot more stuff and during discovery could see opporturnity to shift things (or just have lie since the beginning, because of how long the process can be, you do not to have too long of time people running death asset).
