Why did Edward Norton refuse to seize the science fiction of James Cameron?

Edward Norton is said to be a friend of director James Cameron, but they only worked together in a movie: “Alita: Battle Angel”, which Cameron wrote and produced in which Norton made a veil. Cameron also offered Norton an opportunity to be in “Avatar: The Way of Water” – so why did Norton succeed in visiting Pandora?

I still bear hope for the “Alita” supplement I am the so -called “Alaita Army”. The first movie was a pleasant surprise and there is a lot More Yukito Kishiro To adapt. The movie disturbed that Alita (Rosa Salazar) will finally come face to face with Desty Nova (Norton character), her crazy lover enemy.

In 2019, Director Digital spy: (Cameron and both of them knew both of them, none of us worked with Ed. But Ed is really smart. Like Jim, he is very smart. “While Norton only appears as if it was Nova in a few short shots, his heart emphasizes the importance of the character. Norton is not just A representative in the A list, it is also a matter of believing as the smartest person in the world. The Faux-Genius Tech Miles Bron in “Glass Onion”

“Alita” was a passion for James Cameron. It was first introduced to Manga Kishiro in the 1990s by Guillermo del ToroCameron spent many years trying to adapt it to a movie. But in the end he had to choose between directing the “water method” and “Alita”, and so the latter left in the hands of Rodriguez. Then he tried to get Norton to join his other scientific movie, but the actor drew a steady line in the sand. Norton explained in an interview 2019 with Total:

“I am a friend with Jim (Cameron), and I admire him greatly and love him. So when he wanted me to do something in” Avatar 2 “, I told him mainly,” If I don’t have na’vi, I’m not doing it.

I feel that Norton does not “admire” Cameron with his films. Both men are the most prominent advocates of environmental protection in Hollywood. Cameron is particularly excited to keep the oceans (lights up in the moon as an undergraduate explorer) and the vegetarian described it as a political action, cuts dependence on the carbon meat industry. Norton (whose father was an environmental lawyer) was also appointed by the United Nations as a goodwill ambassador for biological diversity.

“Avatar” movies strongly support the environment and oppose the military industrial complex. In the two films issued so far, humanity is the evil. We have already destroyed the Earth and now we want to destroy another natural paradise with colonialism and manufacturing. Of course, Norton Na’vi prefers, given that his political views are very close to Cameron in this case.

Now, it is clear that Cameron could not fit Norton as the owner of the “Water Road”. The third movie “Avatar” – “Fire & Ash” – is also scheduled to be shown in the first show, so it may not be time to add Norton there too. But Cameron has already written two films “Avatar”, with ideas of “Avatar 7.” Certainly, he can make way for Na’vi Ed Norton in one of these films? I can only wonder how these two very similar men (both enthusiastic and control artists) will work together. Will Cameron be more acceptable? Norton’s inputs from Marvel Studios were on “The Incredible Hulk”? Like the fate of the “Alita” supplement, it can go in both cases.
