Synopsis :

The perfect companion to AMC’s six-part television series James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction, this unique book explores the history and evolution of the genre with contributions from the filmmakers who bring it to life. For the show, James Cameron interviewed several of the biggest names in science fiction filmmaking―including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro, and Arnold Schwarzenegger―to get their perspectives on the importance of the genre.

James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction reproduces these interviews in full as the greatest minds in the genre discuss key topics such as alien life, intelligent machines, and monsters. The book also features an in-depth interview with Cameron, plus essays by experts in the science fiction field on the main themes covered in the show, including alien life, time travel, outer space, dark futures, monsters, and intelligent machines. Illustrated with stills, artwork, and photography from iconic sci-fi movies, TV shows, and books, James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction offers a sweeping examination of a genre that continues to ask questions, push limits, and thrill audiences around the world.

James Cameron is an Oscar®-winning film director, celebrated explorer, and the visionary behind record-setting blockbuster movies such as Titanic, Avatar, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Cameron’s passion for diving and exploration has led him to embark on a number of trailblazing deep-sea expeditions, including more than thirty dives to Titanic. Cameron made history when he undertook the first-ever solo dive to the Mariana Trench in 2012.

À propos des auteurs: Randall Frakes has been an author and screenwriter for thirty-five years. Frakes wrote novelizations of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day and edited Titanic: James Cameron's Illustrated Screenplay. He lives in Los Angeles.

Brooks Peck is a curator at the Museum of Pop Culture. There he has curated exhibitions on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek, among others. He also cowrote two creature features for the Syfy Channel, Rage of the Yeti and Zombie Apocalypse. He lives in Seattle.

 

James Cameron’s attention to realism and detail is legendary. Celebrated for such uncompromising action-adventure films as The Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, and Avatar, the writer-director actually vowed not to make Titanic unless he could successfully dive to the wreck himself and bring back motion picture footage for use in the film. Representing years of Cameron’s passion and dedication, Titanic is one of the filmmaker’s most ambitious films.
