Oscar-winning screenwriter-director James Cameron's "Titanic" earned Kate Winslet an Oscar nomination, made her one of the most famous movie stars in the world, and was the most successful film in history. Nevertheless, for years the excellent British actress stated in interviews that she would never make another film with him. .

"I almost drowned twice and suffered from hypothermia," she said at the time about her experiences from the grueling filming.
"Every time something would go wrong, he would lose it and start screaming. You'd have to pay me a lot of money to get me to agree to work with James Cameron again."
"Did I really say all these things?" Winslet now asks with a half-embarrassed smile, when she is asked to explain why she changed her mind and decided to give Cameron another chance.
"When Jim called me with the offer to participate in 'Avatar 2' it was very flattering and touched me that he thought of me. I agreed even before I read the script."
After "Titanic" you also said that you would not make a film that takes place in water again, and the current film takes place mostly entirely in the water.
"Well, it's actually funny, because I've always loved the water. We live by the ocean, and I surf and swim all the time. Even as a child, I was always the first to jump into the water when we went on vacation with the family. When Jim told me that the job he was assigning me as a sophomore The way of the water' will require me to learn free diving (diving for long minutes without oxygen cylinders, YK), I was only happier."
The result is one of the most expensive films ever produced - more than 350 million dollars were invested in it.
The epic lands on the screens no less than 13 years after the first film.
