"It's kind of a great honour...": Edie Falco on working with James Cameron in 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'

Edie Falco describes the "great honour" of working with James Cameron on 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' praising his innovation and childlike excitement for storytelling.

"It's kind of a great honour to be a part of the stuff that James Cameron imagines and makes happen. - Edie Falco"

New York, January 4

Actor Edie Falco has described her experience of working on 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' as stepping into "another whole world," calling it a privilege to be part of filmmaker James Cameron's expansive cinematic vision, according to People.

Falco, 62, who plays antagonist General Ardmore in the Avatar film franchise, shared her thoughts in an exclusive interaction with People magazine while attending the Mayor of Kingstown season four screening in New York.

"It's another whole world," Falco said. "And it's kind of a great honour to be a part of the stuff that James Cameron imagines and makes happen. He's quite astonishing in that regard," as quoted by People.

Praising Cameron's innovation, Falco said the director continually pushes the boundaries of filmmaking. "He's invented machines and new ways of shooting, and to be invited to be a part of that, I'm very lucky," she added.

Reflecting on her collaboration with Cameron, Falco said she found his approach refreshing and distinct from that of many other directors. "He's like a little kid. He's got all kinds of ideas and curiosity, and he has the excitement about storytelling that you have when you first start out," she said.

While details of the film's storyline have largely been kept under wraps, Cameron has earlier hinted that Avatar: Fire and Ash will introduce audiences to new cultures on Pandora, including the Ash People, a fire-associated Na'vi clan.

The film features returning stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and others, with Oona Chaplin joining the cast as Varang, the leader of the Ash People, according to People.

'Avatar: Fire and Ash' is currently playing in theatres worldwide.

It's lovely to hear an actor speak so respectfully about a director. The part about him having the excitement of a little kid is so endearing. Hope the story is as strong as the visuals this time!

Saw it last weekend in IMAX. The fire effects for the Ash People are mind-blowing! The 3D experience is worth every rupee. Cameron has done it again. But honestly, the plot felt a bit predictable compared to the first one.

Edie Falco is such a fantastic actress. Can't wait to see her as a general in this universe. Her description of Cameron's process makes me appreciate the filmmaking even more.

The technology is impressive, no doubt. But I wish our Indian filmmakers also got the budgets and freedom to create such grand original sci-fi worlds. We have the stories!

"He's invented machines and new ways of shooting" – this is what separates great filmmakers from the rest. The man is constantly innovating. A masterclass in pushing the envelope.
