James Cameron plans live production inspired from Avatar

An Avatar inspired live production will be made by James Cameron in collaboration with a Canadian entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil. The details of the show have been revealed by the president and CEO of Cirque du Soleil, Daniel Lamarre.

Daniel disclosed that the show will begin from late 2015 in Montreal when the international business C2MTL, Commerce + Creativity Conference, will be held. The financier and distributor of Avatar, 20th Century Fox, will be a partner of this show along with Jon Landau’s Lightstorm Entertainment. 20th Century Fox’s chief, Jim Gianopulos, said in a statement, “Avatar remains a phenomenon that continues to inspire people around the globe, and combining it with the live event ingenuity of Cirque de Soleil is a perfect synthesis of imagination and talent.”

The live show is planned in such a way so that it gets released ahead of the release of the first Avatar sequel. As told by Cameron, “Over the years, I have discovered the extraordinary talents and imaginations of both the artists and the creative forces behind Cirque du Soleil.” “I know we share the common goal of bringing audiences to another level of entertainment experiences. I look forward to doing just that on this project,” he added further. Avatar is the highest grosser till date as it raked in $2.7 billion worldwide. Lamarre said in a statement, “Our relationship with Jim Cameron began with my visit at his ‘Avatar’ cutting room.” He added more, “I am thrilled that almost 5 years later, Cirque du Soleil will be able to explore the very inspirational ‘Avatar’ realm for the live stage. This will mark our second creative project with Jim and I believe it will be as stimulating for both our creative forces.”
