Ian Nathan Knihy

Kdo je vlastně James Cameron? Co ho definuje? Jaké jsou jeho filmy? Jak vznikaly? A proč je vůbec točí? Tedy kromě toho, že je v tom přes všechny překážky – nebo právě díky nim? – zatraceně dobrý.Britský filmový publicista Ian Nathan úspěšně nahlíží za kulisu „finančně nejúspěšnějšího“ režiséra, který točí velkofilmy. Na ploše jedenácti kapitol (osm z nich se věnuje jednotlivým filmům od formování námětu až po reakce při uvedení) nás autor provází různými fázemi Cameronova života. A to se zdravým odstupem i dávkou ironie a humoru.Cameronův životní příběh je totiž fascinující a zaslouží si, abychom ho četli pěkně od začátku. Od vyrůstání v industriálním Kapuskasingu a první známky vůdčích a uměleckých schopností přes formativní období v dílně na vizuální efekty, až po vize postapokalyptické budoucnosti, ze kterých se v bolestech zrodí první Terminátor...Jeho filmografie není rozsáhlá, ale filmy jako Vetřelci, Terminátor 2: Soudný den, Titanic a Avatar tnou do živé tkáně popkultury a mají své věčné místo v dějinách světové kinematografie.James Cameron: Retrospektiva vychází příhodně v rok uvedení Avatara 2.

Publikace, doprovázená celou řadou známých i méně známých fotografií, představuje nejkomplexnějšího průvodce filmy a televizními seriály, jež vznikly na základě Kingových literárních děl. Pojednává o všech verzích Kukuřičných dětí, pokrývá a zpracovává každý nový remake od Carrie až po To a vynáší na světlo všechna temná zákoutí Kingovy představivosti.
