James Cameron: Machinima Director
Ok, my headline might be a bit misleading (yet oh so provocative!), but I came across this article on James Cameron's first endeavour into filmmaking since Titanic. The film, Avatar, begins virtual photography in April. No doubt the Fox press machine is building anticipation to this homecoming vehicle for Cameron.
Does this production fit into the Machinima definition? Who knows? But its sounding pretty close. With a release date set for 2009 (only two years, kids), we might see a few others step into the same space before then.
Hopefully, it wont be another T'was the Night of the Living Dead. But as much as I like Zemeckis, and I do, I have a bit more faith in Cameron. In any case, I look forward to it.

Didn't he do some documentaries since Titanic (and some TV stuff) since Titanic (at least according to IMDB)?
Ah, you're right, he did - and I should have clarified. This is his first film back in the director's chair. Also of note to those interested - Cameron sits on the Board of Directors of Multiverse, the MMO tech company.
