James Cameron Secures Four Books by Author Steven Charles Gould to Expand AVATAR Series
By: Christina Mancuso Aug. 23, 2013
Filmmaker James Cameron has tapped noted science fiction author Steven Charles Gould ("Jumper") to write four stand-alone novels based upon - and expanding -- Cameron's history-making 2009 film Avatar, and Cameron's stories for his three upcoming "Avatar" sequels.
Cameron commented, "Steven Gould is one of the shining lights in contemporary science fiction, and I've long admired the worlds and characters he's created in his books and stories. We're very fortunate to have Steven bring his formidable talents to the 'Avatar' universe. He is already working closely with me and the screenwriters to flesh out the expanding world of 'Avatar.'"While Gould is best known for his 1992 novel "Jumper," which Twentieth Century Fox and New Regency turned into a motion picture in 2008, he has been acclaimed for his short fiction, including his Hugo Award-nominated short story "Rory," and the novelette "Peaches for Mad Molly." The latter was also on the shortlist for the Nebula Award. His other novels include "Wildside," the Jumper sequel "Reflex," "7th Sigma," and "Impulse." He is president of the Science Fiction Writers of America.Comments
