As some of you may know Peter Berg is currently working on a new film based on Hasbro’s iconic game of Battleship.  Since James Cameron likes to comment about everything Hollywood here is his take on this upcoming film:

“We have a story crisis. Now they want to make the Battleship game into a film. This is pure desperation. Everyone in Hollywood knows how important it is that a film is a brand before it hit theaters. If a brand has been around, Harry Potter for example, or Spider-Man, you are light years ahead. And there lies the problem. Because unfortunately these franchises are become more ridiculous. Battleship. This degrades the cinema.”

Hmm that’s funny Mr. Cameron.  I seem to remember a little movie you created called Avatar that was a COMPLETE rip off from stories like Dances With Wolves and Pocahontas.  Before you start criticizing Peter Birg for creating a unique story from a game maybe you should look at your own work and see how much of it is actually an original idea.
