Overview
- On the Empire podcast, James Cameron said he and Robert Rodriguez are discussing a feature they would shoot in about 17 days.
- He cited his recent 3D Billie Eilish concert film, which he said he shot in six days, as the spark for trying a rapid approach.
- Cameron offered no title, plot, genre, or schedule, making clear the idea is not a set project.
- He also said he is mapping changes to make Avatar 4 and 5 in half the time for about two thirds of the cost, a plan he said would take roughly a year to design.
- Industry coverage frames the 17-day concept as a sharp break from Cameron’s long, tech-heavy shoots and in step with Rodriguez’s fast, low-overhead style from their Alita: Battle Angel partnership.
