James Cameron is the King of the box office. For over a decade, his film Titanic maintained its #1 spot as the highest grossing movie in box office history. But all that changed in 2010, when his box office smash, Avatar, surpassed Titanic and became the #1 movie of all time. Avatar literally changed the way we view movies. This Friday, Avatar: Special Edition will be re-released on Friday theaters. The movie will include 8 minutes of never before seen footage which Cameron has added on. We sat down with the legendary director, who told us what we can expect from Avatar: Special Edition, and whether there is a sequel in the works. Check us out at foxallaccess.blogs.fox.com
