Star Wars Inspired Cameron's Career

Posted By Mike on March 9, 2010

The movie juggernaught which is Avatar is still out there pulling in decent numbers and a short article at PostChronicle.com shows that James Cameron drew inspiration from Star Wars as he quit his trucking job to move into a directing career.

"I said, 'Ok, I've got imagery like that in my head; if that's what people really want to see... I'm doing the wrong thing, driving a truck.'"
