He worked at Fox for five years, where he worked on films such as ‘Die Hard 2’ (1990), ‘The Last of the Mohicans’ (1992), ‘Mistress Doubtfire’ (1993) and Cameron’s ‘True Lies’ (1994). Monitored.
When Landau decided to leave Fox and return to producing, he received offers from three directors to work with him. He decided to make a film with Cameron, which later proved to be ‘Titanic’ (1997).
Jon Landau oversaw the 100-day construction of Fox Baja Studios, a 40-acre seaside property located in Rosarito Beach, Mexico. They had to change the entire production schedule of the film after discovering that it was taking too long to build the film’s major outdoor locations.
When it came to ‘Avatar’ (2009), there were many big challenges in it too. Cameron wrote a 100-page script in 1994, but high visual effects technology was not available to bring the Na’vi inhabitants to the screen.
He also talked about how he dealt with Jim Cameron while making big films like ‘Titanic’ and ‘Avatar’ and the challenges they shared.
