Few directors in Hollywood with the reputation of James Cameron. Both for his ability to periodically destroy the box office, humiliating the industry’s forecasts, and for his dictatorial attitude during filmings whose scale he keeps strictly under control. This attitude is what, it has been rumored for some time, caused the unrest of Kate Winslet while rolling Titanic at the end of the 90s. A blockbuster that was an absolute success with audiences and critics in addition to giving Winslet a nomination for the Oscarbut which would have been followed by the distancing of director and actress.
Winslet stayed away from Cameron’s filmography since then, although it is not that his films were abundant: between Titanic and Avatar: The Sense of Water Cameron only filmed the aforementioned Avatarand in fact for The sense of water He re-recruited Winslet casually. The sense of water This meant, then, the meeting of Cameron and Winslet 25 years later, and what we got from the filming is that the actress had given everything for the film. The technology motion capture of Avatar 2 allowed the performers to record Na’vi underwater, and so it happened that Winslet broke the record for holding her breath while filming.
Winslet was submerged 7 minutes and 14 secondssurpassing the previous record of Tom Cruise in this league: for a certain scene Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation he lasted 6 minutes and 36 seconds. In any case, Winslet’s dedication was beyond doubt, and hence the persistent rumors that at some point he had distanced himself from Cameron were missed. Interviewed by Varietythe actress has finally clarified it: “A part of me feels almost sad that things stupid and speculative what was said about Titanic At the time they will eclipse the real relationship I have with him. He knows that I am willing to do anything. Any challenge, any direction he gives me? I’ll try”.
Confirm, then, that “There was never a breakup.”, and fits with other statements by Cameron praising Winslet’s professional commitment. The director then said that Winslet had a relationship with Rose even before playing her in Titanic: “He sent me a rose saying ‘I have to be your rose’”, while he was doubting whether to cast her in the film: at that time Winslet had already appeared in Sense and Sensibility and Hamlet, and Cameron doubted whether it would be a cliché to cast her in another period film. Luckily these doubts did not last long.
“It looked like lazy casting. But then wiser heads prevailed and I could see what everyone was talking about. She is full of life. “She walks into a room with a lot of confidence and has that spark of life,” she says. “She had a little postpartum depression when she let Rose go. We’ve talked about how she feels deeply about her roles, and her characters leave a lasting, sometimes dramatic, impression on her.”
Cameron has nothing but good words for Winslet after having directed her in two films as big as Titanic and Avatar: The Sense of Water. “It’s all mental. It’s not physical. Kate and Sigourney Weaver They are people with a lot of willpower who dominate their entire instrument, their mind, their voice, their body, everything. And what makes them good actresses also made them good for learn to dive”.
