In the beginning, “Avatar” was unformed and void.
And James Cameron looked upon “A Princess of Mars” and “Dances with Wolves” and “Ferngully” (but not anything by Harlan Ellison, because he knew better than that) and found them good. And he wrote a 114-page treatment, and he found it good.
And then he looked upon Gollum and realized that special effects had finally caught up with his vision, and that “Avatar” could actually be made for less than the budget of one week of fighting in Iraq, and 20th Century Fox looked upon it and said, “This could be our next ‘Star Wars’ except let’s make sure not to give away the merchandising rights,” and they made the movie and found it good.
Cowboy Pete, on the other hand, had some problems.
