Last week James Cameron, Bill Clinton, and Arnold Schwarzenegger came together for the Second Annual International Forum on Sustainability in Manaus, Brazil. During the event, Cameron told reporters that he wants to bring the cast of his Avatar sequels to Brazil's Amazon Rainforest so they can be inspired by the location and its indigenous tribes.
Avatar is a film about the rain forest and its indigenous people. Before I start to shoot the two films I want to bring my actors here, so I can better tell this story. Actors could learn about the natives and what real life in the jungle is like.
After shooting the first Avatar film, Cameron spent time in Brazil meeting indigenous tribes on the Xingu River, which has been threatened by the Belo Monte dam project. He has been a tireless advocate for the region and so far has been successful in delaying the construction of the dam.
Cameron even took Arnold Schwarzenegger to the Xingu River during a break from last week's forum, where they met with leaders of local tribes and took a helicopter tour of forest, all in an effort to raise awareness about the area and its people.
