I will help capture Ramayana, Mahabharata in 3D: James Cameron
By Petson Peter [December 11, 2010]
Director James Cameron is in Pune to participate in a three-day conference of TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design). The event is part of a series of conferences held worldwide by the Sapling Foundation. This American non-profit organisation facilitates the sharing of information and ideas by organising these conferences which bring together scientists, innovators and thinkers from around the world.
Speaking at the event, director James Cameron said that he is currently busy creating an underwater vessel which will capture images from the seabed, some 30,000 feet below sea level. The Avatar man also said that the success of his movie can be credited to his keen interest in science. Speaking about science and Hollywood, the director said he felt Hollywood had done little with science themes. Cameron, who is also an expert in 3D cameras, added that he would be glad to offer technical assistance to any Indian director who makes Ramayana or Mahabharata in 3D.

James Francis Cameron[1] (born August 16, 1954) is a Canadian film director, film producer, screenwriter, editor, and inventor.[2][3] His writing and directing work includes Piranha II: The Spawning (1981), The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), True Lies (1994), Titanic (1997), and Avatar (2009). In the time between making Titanic and his return to feature films with Avatar, Cameron spent several years creating many documentary films (specifically underwater documentaries), and also co-developed the digital 3-D Fusion Camera System. Described by a biographer as part-scientist and part-artist,[4] Cameron has also contributed to underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies.[2][3][5]
In total, Cameron's directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$2 billion in North America and US$6 billion worldwide.[6] Without adjusting for inflation, Cameron's Titanic and Avatar are the two highest-grossing films of all time at $1.8 billion and $2.7 billion respectively.[7] In terms of worldwide gross, he is the second-highest grossing director of all time, behind Steven Spielberg.
