Dana Goodyear wrote an astounding 12-page article for the October 26, 2009 issue of The New Yorker, in which she goes on the set of James Cameron’s Avatar for an early look at the 3-D world that Cameron has created for the upcoming movie.

Goodyear’s article is more than about Avatar. It’s about Cameron and his moviemaking boldness and assertiveness that brings light to an artist’s desire to be the best he can be in film. 

The director of Aliens, Terminator and Terminator 2 and Titanic, he’s also a writer and producer.  “Maverick” best describes the filmmaker — place him next to Walt Disney, Stanley Kubrick or Charlie Chaplin — all visionaries of the future.

Click on Cameron and you’ll be at the article. Enjoy — it’s quite a read!
