Filmmaker James Cameron has all the right to brag and bask in the glory of his historic _Avatar: The Way Of Water_ ’s gargantuan success. And in a recent interview with Time Magazine, he compared himself with the creator of The Lord Of The Rings Peter Jackson. He said, ““I was trying to do a simulation of, OK, I’m Peter Jackson making Lord of the Rings except for Lord of the Rings doesn’t exist yet, so I need to go be Tolkien and create Lord of the Rings, and then I can go be Peter Jackson.” He added, “A little bit cheeky and ambitious, but I wasn’t adapting some big pantheon of books that existed. I had to go do that.” _Avatar: The Way of Water_ continues to rake in money all over the globe. The sequel to James Cameron’s 2009-blockbuster Avatar has managed to shatter box-office records both in India and abroad.
