Michelle Rodriguez talks about James Cameron's Avatar

Michelle Rodriguez has been out and about talking about Fast and Furious, but more interestingly she talked to MoviesOnline.ca about working with James Cameron on Avatar. She plays a pilot in the film. This is a little of what she had to say.
That guy is so amazing. He thinks in 12 dimensions at all times. That’s what I love about him. You could sit there and you could talk for hours about the advancements in molecular science or you could sit there and you can talk about mythology and story building, character building. You could talk about cameras, the history of film, the history of Russia. You could talk about flying to another planet. You could talk about space research. You could talk about underwater adventures. You could talk about how he constructed special technology for underwater adventures. Or you could sit there and talk to him about how he developed his own fricking cameras with his brother. I mean, like, this guy is a genius.

So, you’re working with a golf ball or you’re working with an “X” on a green wall and you’re just hoping that you’ve really hit your mark interacting with this. You’re just kind of trying to remember as much of your make-believe time at the age of 5 as you possibly could to get you through it. But, with this technology that he’s got, you just go there and you see what you’re interacting with right there because it’s a mixture of live 3D footage, the props on the set, and the virtual world that he spent God knows how long creating. It’s fucking amazing. It’s hardcore. I can’t even imagine anything bigger.

The more I hear about this film the more intrigued I get. I really want to see some footage from it. Thanks to Pam for giving me the heads up on this interview.
