Carter also compare working on Avatar to do work on The Polar Express , and says that Cameron and Zemeckis ’ awareness of each others ’ project helps repel technical introduction :
[ T]o answer your enquiry , of course , between Zemeckis and Cameron , yes , there ’s a tremendous awareness of what the other is doing . It ’s like Beatles and the Stones . And I ’m so proud of that they are doing this ; to be in their 50s and forging young avenue , to be taking risks and put this much work in to it — and to be engage a sure amount of flack . Both Cameron and Zemeckis have remained unfeigned to their vision and gone place that people would rather they not go , in some places . Do n’t think that citizenry have n’t enounce , “ Hey , Jim , can maybe you make a movie that does n’t cost so much and puts the entire studio on the crinkle again ? ” And , “ Hey , Bob , can you maybe give us something a little more safe commercially and peradventure not press so severely and so far out there ? ”
With Zemeckis ’ latest gesture seizure project , A Christmas Carol , getting lukewarm reviews , hopefully Avatar will be the more successful one-half of that competition .
