There have been a number of headlines written about the upcoming Avatar: The Way of Water stating that it has been 13 years since director James Cameron last brought audiences to the alien moon of Pandora, and how much technology has improved to aid Cameron with regards to his storytelling. We like to go back even farther than that, though, and think about the fact that Avatar: The Way of Water will reunite Cameron with his Titanic muse, Kate Winslet, after a 25 year gap. Winslet has discussed in the past how different Cameron is as a storyteller now (as opposed to the task master he was rumored to be on the Titanic set). And during our exclusive interview, the Mare of Easttown lead opened up about the challenges Cameron faced on Titanic, and how the cast helped him to overcome them.

00:00I'm curious if you wish Mr. Cameron had the tech that's available to him now back on Titanic.
00:10I think he probably wishes he'd had the tech that he has invented and created. He's done
00:15all of this. Yes, you know, Titanic for Jim, I think must have been such a kind of terrifying
00:21experience because a lot of what he was implementing, I'm sure to a certain extent, was a bit experimental,
00:28and there was no room for error, my God. I mean, it was all on him. But the way that
00:33he has evolved and the things that he has done technically since then are just phenomenal.
00:39And being part of Avatar and really seeing that firsthand and experiencing it and witnessing
00:44the level at which he works and the performances by the other actors and what they created
00:49with the first one and were able to share with me, it was an amazing experience.
00:58The way of water connects all things before your birth and after your death.
