Avatar and its Greek connection

Avatar has become the top grossing movie in history with almost $2 BILLION in international ticket sales.  Fox International has hit a grand slam with this film and it quickly surpassed the 10 year old record of the Titanic.  Both films are sales Fox International productions.

Did you know......

Fox CEO,  Jim Gianopulos was 150% behind the Avatar project since it’s inception and once again Mr. Gianopulos backed the right project.  It seems like everything he touches turns into gold.

Avatar director James Cameron once again collaborated with Greek-American screenwriter and executive producer, Laeta Kalogridis.  The 43 year old Klogridis is no stranger in Hollywood, she sold her first script (an epic about Joan of Arc) while she was still in film school at UCLA.

Last year, Kalogridis became the first female writer to work on a Martin Scorsese directed film, the upcoming “Shutter Island”.
