about 5 years ago i read a bunch of alternate history sci-fi and it sparked my imagination. the books inspired me to think up a story for a possible comic. anyway, the story i came up with was so, so, so much like what the movie avatar came to be its eerie.
Now thats a handsome cat-lookin' fella. Apparently many people had the similar ideas and creations before Avatar. Thats either an interesting psychological phenomenon or James Cameron did a lot of research for those 14-15 years how much he claims he waited the movie tech to develop before he could start filming Avatar.
thanks! speaking for myself, i was mainly influenced by the works of s.m. stirling and william forstchen. older generaions would have burrough's john carter of mars and the old flash gordon serials. i wouldn't be surprised if cameron was inspired by the same. basically taking a relatively modern character(s) and transporting them to a savage world.
in any case, i totally believe his claims that he's been working on this a long time. there was a blog that posted a scan of a magazine article from the late 90's about "in development" films and it mentions avatar (or at least what would become avatar).
while my idea is not as old (about 5-6 years), i've decided it needs an overhaul so the similarities aren't as obvious. hahaha!
I love Avatar too. That forest <3.
