Cameron was once on bat to do it, back in 95, then the prouction go tied up in court over who had thw right to do it, and Cameron did Titanic and now won't work on any project he dosn't create himself. Ya got to wonder how egotistical a person has to be that what was his 'dream project' five years ago is now below him.
