Great article by Aaron Saenz at www.singularityhub.com on James Cameron's new epic sci-fi AVATAR (excerpt below).
"Once you’ve directed the highest grossing movie ever you can afford taking your time with future projects. James Cameron has waited more than 14 years to get his latest creation, AVATAR,
into theaters. The director of Terminator, Alien, and The Abyss,
Cameron is no stranger to science fiction, and the recent Comic Con
previews in San Diego revealed that Cameron has spared no expense in
creating the next scifi epic that will redefine the movie-making
process. AVATAR utilized a new technique to merge recorded and

in real-time. The results? AVATAR is a mind-blowing 3-D experience of a
futuristic war on a distant alien planet, full of lush environments and
unparalleled special effects."
