哪位好人帮忙写一下詹姆斯卡梅隆的英文介绍?英文哦.关于他的电影作品的.
James Francis Cameron[1] (born August 16,1954) is a Canadian film director,producer,screenwriter,editor,and inventor.[2][3] His writing and directing work includes The Terminator (1984),Aliens (1986),The Abyss (1989),Terminator 2:Judgment Day (1991),True Lies (1994),Titanic (1997),and Avatar (2009).In the time between making Titanic and his return to feature films with Avatar,Cameron spent some years creating documentary films,and also co-developing the digital 3-D Fusion Camera System.Described by a biographer as part-scientist and part-artist,[4] Cameron has also contributed to underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies.[2][3][5]
In total,Cameron's directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$1.84 billion in North America and US$4.6 billion worldwide,[6] making him one of the highest-grossing directors of all time.[7] Cameron's Titanic and Avatar are the two highest-grossing films of all time.
Background
Cameron in September,1986
Cameron was born in Kapuskasing,Ontario,Canada,the son of Shirley (n茅e Lowe),an artist and nurse,and Phillip Cameron,an electrical engineer.[8][9] His paternal great-great-great-grandfather emigrated from Balquhidder,Scotland in 1825.[8] As such,he descends from Clan Cameron.Cameron grew up in Chippawa,Ontario and attended Stamford Collegiate in Niagara Falls; his family moved to Brea,California in 1971.[10] While studying physics and English at Fullerton College and California State University,Fullerton (see 'Awards' section below for honorary doctorate),Cameron used every opportunity to visit the film archive of the University of Southern California.To the surprise of many people,although Cameron had a large educational background in the natural sciences,he chose a philosophy major from Fullerton College in 1973.[4] Cameron says of his time there that he was,
"completely self taught in special effects.I'd go down to the USC library and pull any thesis that graduate students had written about optical printing,or front screen projection,or dye transfers,anything that related to film technology鈥?f they'd let me photocopy it,I would.If not,I'd make notes."
After dropping out,he worked several jobs such as truck driving and wrote when he had time.[11] After seeing the original Star Wars film in 1977,Cameron quit his job as a truck driver to enter the film industry.[12] When Cameron read Syd Field's book Screenplay,it occurred to him that integrating science and art were possible and he wrote a ten minute science fiction script with two friends,entitled Xenogenesis.They raised money and rented a camera,lenses,the film stocks,studio and shot it in 35 mm.To understand how to operate the camera,they dismantled it and spent the first half-day of the shoot trying to figure out how to get it running.
Major films
[edit] The Terminator (1984) Main article:The Terminator
After completing a screenplay for The Terminator,Cameron decided to sell it so that he could direct the movie.However,the production companies he contacted,while expressing interest in the project,were unwilling to let a first-time feature film director make the movie.Finally,Cameron found a company called Hemdale Pictures,which was willing to let him direct.Gale Anne Hurd,who had started her own production company,Pacific Western Productions,had previously worked with Cameron in Roger Corman's company and agreed to buy Cameron's screenplay for one dollar,on the condition that Cameron direct the film.Hurd was signed on as producer,and Cameron finally got his first break as director.Orion Pictures distributed the film.
Initially,for the role of the Terminator,Cameron wanted someone who wasn't exceptionally muscular,and who could "blend into" a normal crowd.Lance Henriksen,who had starred in Piranha II:The Spawning,was considered for the titular role,but when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cameron first met over lunch to discuss Schwarzenegger playing the role of Kyle Reese,both came to the conclusion that the cyborg villain would be the more compelling role for the Austrian bodybuilder; Henriksen got the smaller part of LAPD detective Hal Vukovich and the role of Kyle Reese went to Michael Biehn.In addition,Linda Hamilton first appeared in this film in her iconic role of Sarah Connor,and later married Cameron.
The Terminator was a box office hit,breaking expectations by Orion Pictures executives that the film would be regarded as no more than a sci-fi film,and only last a week in theaters.It was a low-budget film which cost $6.5 million to make,cutting expenses in such ways as recording the audio track in mono.However,The Terminator eventually earned over $78 million worldwide.
[edit] Rambo:First Blood Part II (1985) Main article:Rambo:First Blood Part II
During the early 1980s,Cameron wrote three screenplays simultaneously:The Terminator,Aliens,and the first draft of Rambo:First Blood Part II.While Cameron continued with The Terminator and Aliens,Sylvester Stallone eventually took over the script of Rambo:First Blood Part II,creating a final draft which differed radically from Cameron's initial version.Cameron was credited for his screenplay in the film's final credits.[13]
In total,Cameron's directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$1.84 billion in North America and US$4.6 billion worldwide,[6] making him one of the highest-grossing directors of all time.[7] Cameron's Titanic and Avatar are the two highest-grossing films of all time.
