Avatar was released by 20th Century Fox and was directed by James Cameron and has been one of the most anticipated movies of the decade that grossed over $2.78 billion worldwide. James Cameron had made sure that Avatar is nothing like what the audience has seen before.

Avatar was released by 20th Century Fox in 2009. 20th Century Fox is one of the six major American film studios which produced some of the best grossing films of all time including the Star Wars and X-Men franchise. The director of Avatar is the legendary James Cameron who has won many awards for example the Academy Award for Best Picture, Academy Award for Best Director. James Cameron is notorious for having big budget films and having a massive budget on his movie Titanic. His movies frequently include strong female characters and feature scenes filmed in deep blues. He also frequently casts Michael Biehn, Jenette Goldstein, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

More recently there have been reports that Avatar is the most expensive film ever made with speculation that it cost $280 million. “It is the most expensive film we’ve made, but now, having the luxury of hindsight, it is money well spent, so I’m not concerned about it,” said James Gianopulos, co-chairman and C.E.O. of Fox Filmed Entertainment. The official number released by Fox was $237 million, but this price only reflected Fox's contribution to the production costs. My research indicates that the total final production cost for the film was approximately $425 million.

Avatar has an all-star cast except from the main character Sam Worthington who plays Jake Sully. Jake Sully had not been recognized in Hollywood before he auditioned twice for the role. It is said that James Cameron felt that because Sam had not done a major film, he would give the character "a quality that is really real". Also in the cast was Zoe Saldana who was famous for blockbuster films including Star Trek and Pirates of the Caribbean and

    One of the most tragic themes in night is Elie’s discovery of the way that atrocities and cruel treatment can make good people into brutes. This is apparent all throughout the book. There were numerous examples were once civil men killed each other over a small crumb of bread. Or were friends would betray each other at the hope that they would survive another day or get more rations. When a person is faced with death, they will do anything in their power to survive. Even if this means betraying there fellow man and becoming a beast. It is pure instinct to want to live and nothing is more power full then the will to survive. Unfortunately I do not believe Elie that evaded the fate of becoming a brute.…

    Aya Temimi, does this name ring a bell ? Of course ! The most amazing director of all time, billions of fans and directed one of the most famous love stories: The Titanic. Aya Temimi has already sold out, not a million but a BILLION copies of The Titanic. Not only that was a highlight in her amazing career but also being the best director at such a young age (20 years) is very rare, especially, in this new generation. Who would have thought ? That this small girl from the smallest country on Earth would become THIS big? (not me) but a lesson is learned: don't judge a book by it's cover or in this case (by it's surrounding). The amazing Aya took a break for a couple of years, but now she's back and better than ever. She is willing to win our hearts back by redirecting the famous romantic movie: Romeo&Juliet, we will experience it on whole different level, with new actors and a new director (Aya Temimi). The movie is expected in June 2013, a bit too much waiting for us but you know what they say: haste makes waste, so we have to hold our horses (even though we can't).…
