It's Not Aquaman

James Cameron has finally picked his next film to direct - "Avatar."

It's been nine long years since "Titanic," and while a host of directors have tried to fill his shoes, none come close to Cameron’s combination of genius and ego (as the boys of "Entourage" can attest).

His new project, which also has gone under the cover title "Project 880," follows a paraplegic war veteran who is brought to another planet inhabited by a humanoid race at odds with Earth's citizens.
Sounds like a guaranteed special effects bonanza... and a $200 million-plus budget.

But hopefully Cameron won't take on screenwriting duties, as even his staunchest fans know that isn't his strength. Who can forget such script howlers like "You could just call me a tumbleweed blowin' in the wind" (Titanic) and "You have to see with better eyes than that" (The Abyss)?

Cameron says he's looking to cast unknowns for the new film, which may help save a few pennies. Very few.

"Avatar" is scheduled to be released summer 2008.
