While the Canadian filmmaker James Cameron was here in Toronto for the Canadian premiere of his new epic feature film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, the CBC Radio interview program Q with Tom Power had him in their studio this past Friday to talk about a few interesting subjects: the natural world, imaging technology, AI, and film production, which includes his latest flick.
Posted on YouTube by the radio show's account, the episode title is drawn from a bold proclamation by the super-successful creative man:
The director is his usual articulate self, and the interview is of a high standard, expected of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's radio division.

Show notes, dated December 19, 2025, from the above Q with Tom Power video:
"For three decades, James Cameron has dedicated so much of his creative life to the 'Avatar' franchise. The iconic director, producer, screenwriter and editor spoke with Q guest host Talia Schlanger about talk about his fascination with both nature and technology, writing characters he wants to understand, and how he may explore using generative AI in future projects."

During a red-carpet interview on Wednesday with CTV News Toronto's Andria Case, the filmmaker said: ""I actually insisted on coming here, it wasn't in the original Disney play list for all the cities we were gonna hit. I said 'Come on, I’m Canadian born and bred. I gotta go to Canada'."
I found a detail there rather odd. Toronto has long been considered to be one of the big North American movie-premiere cities, along with Chicago, New York City, and, of course, Los Angeles.
So... Star Wars fans are right about Disney....
