Cameron emerges from Titanic’s wake with Avatar - thestar.com
 
It seemed, for a very long while, that the “king of the world” had all but abdicated his throne.
 
Twelve years have passed since Kapuskasing-born James Cameron, 55, broke all box-office records with his megahit Titanic – upward of $1.8 billion internationally, still the top-grossing film in cinema history.
 
It was also, at the time, the most expensive movie ever made, though its then-staggering $200 million price tag has since been matched or eclipsed by the likes of King Kong, Harry Potter, James Bond, Superman, the X-Men, the second and third installments of both Spider-Man and Pirates of the Caribbean and, coincidentally, the third and fourth Terminators, neither of which the disenfranchised franchise founder had anything (other than an obligatory screen credit) to do with.
 
In Titanic’s wake, Cameron appeared to have vanished off the face of the Earth – and indeed, was spending an inordinate amount of time beneath, deep underwater, much of that poking around the wreckage of the actual Titanic, and playing with emergent IMAX 3-D technology.
 
It is that technology that has at last allowed Cameron to surface … and propel himself back up into the furthest reaches of space and studio financing with Avatar, a computer-animated and live-action sci-fi extravaganza with an estimated investment of $500 million riding on its reception by legions of genre fans eagerly anticipating its Dec. 18 release.

CBC News - Television - Kids in the Hall return with murder mystery
Fifteen years after The Kids in the Hall aired on CBC Television, the five original members of the Canadian sketch comedy team have reassembled in North Bay, Ont., to shoot an eight-part TV series. Death Comes to Town will premiere on CBC in January. The series is about a killing spree in a small town and the trial that follows. It opens with the character of Death, played by Mark McKinney, getting off a Greyhound bus. "It's our version of comedy… with a whodunit as the engine," Kids co-founder Bruce McCulloch told CBC Radio's cultural affairs program Q from North Bay on Friday. The troupe's five members — Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, McCulloch, McKinney and Scott Thompson — reunited at Montreal's Just for Laughs festival in 2007 and toured across North America last year. "We never broke up," McCulloch said. "We just didn't do anything." via cbc.ca Permalink | Leave a comment  » - Rui Pereira
