Re: James Cameron Mars movie?

Hi,
I remember seeing those renders a while ago from a Mars project that James Cameron was supposed to be working on. I was wondering if anyone had heard anything recently on that or if they knew a link to where those renders were.

Re: James Cameron Mars movie?

there was a discussion about that here, quite a while ago...
esp 'bout the (very) big rover.

I think space.com had an article about it...

Re: James Cameron Mars movie?

I read somewhere, quite a while ago, that James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator), had obtained the rights to KSR's tricolour mars trilogy. The last I heard the project was on hold, however.

Re: James Cameron Mars movie?

Whoooa. The Mars trilogy... on film... "cool" like liquid helium is cool

...put a little three-minute pitch on the end of the credits for MarSoc and show off pretty movie-grade renders of MarsDirect... and of course a place to send donations...

Hot of the presses: (courtesy of Cinescape.com) - the SciFi channel will be doing a six-hour mini-series based on KSR's Red Mars. Expected release is Fall 2004. Project to be produced by Gale Hurd (Aliens, Teminator, Hulk).

Your wish is my command:

I suspect James Cameron handed the project over to Hurd due to an overfull schedule.

Re: James Cameron Mars movie?

Cool, looking forward to that.

One more adaptation I won't get to do. Ah well. Hope it isn't too preachy, parts of the book seemed a little like two Marxists arguing about economics.

Re: James Cameron Mars movie?

an old thread but James Cameron still makes big money and 'Titanic' news

Titanic: First ever full-sized scans reveal wreck as never seen before

Avatar: The Way of Water missed out on top spot as most profitable movie of 2022

Some movies made huge box office others seem to have been labeled as Turkey or 'Box Office Bombs' movie like Antman Quantumania, Amsterdam, Babylon, Lightyear, Moonfall, Black Adam, Shazam 2 seem to be flopping.
