{"product_id":"james-cameron-by-ian-nathan-9781786751140","title":"James Cameron","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJames Cameron\u003c\/i\u003e is the most successful filmmaker of all time by some margin, a fact we tend to take for granted. The question at the heart of the book isn't only how this came about, but what is it about Cameron that makes him such a universal storyteller?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCinema has had its godlike directors, lifting it up into new spaces, but he is their Zeus. He is the man who made the biggest film of all time and then topped that by making the next biggest film of all time. This book encapsulates not only the magnitude of James Cameron as a filmmaker but also the minutiae—the incredible stories of an artist whose commitment to the medium knows few bounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tales behind the films are as epic as the films themselves. The incredible making of \u003cem\u003eThe Abyss\u003c\/em\u003e, much of it shot submerged in a decommissioned nuclear plant, could fill a book on its own. To say the least, this will be an enthralling read. Put simply, this is a film-by-film biography of the most popular director of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUTHOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ian Nathan, who lives and works in London, is one of the UK's best-known film writers.
