James Cameron has announced that his naturalization in New Zealand is imminent. He had initiated this in November in the course of Donald Trump’s re-election. Cameron expressed his concern about political development in the United States and described Trump’s second term as “frightening” and as a “departure of everything decent”. “America stands for nothing if it does not stand for what it has stood historically. It becomes a hollow idea and I think they cave it up as soon as possible – to their own advantage. ”
James Cameron said that it was a relief not to be constantly confronted with political developments in the USA in New Zealand: “I don’t know if I feel safer here, but at least I don’t have to do with it every day. And it is simply disgusting. There is something pleasant about the New Zealand news portals – at least set it on page three. I just don’t want to see this face on the front page of the newspaper. It is inevitable there, it is as if you are always looking at a car accident. ”
James Cameron has a close connection to New Zealand
The filmmaker, who has had a large farm in South Wairarapa since 2012 and has produced his “Avatar” films with the company Weta Digital in Wellington, plans to move to New Zealand permanently. He emphasized that this step was of great importance for him and that he worked hard for it and brought victims. Cameron emphasized the need to integrate into society and earn its place when you uproot your family and move into a new country.
Cameron, who originally comes from Canada, sees many similarities between New Zealand and his home country. He appreciates mutual respect and the idea of equality in New Zealand society and wants his children to grow up in such an environment. He also plans to continue to produce films in Wellington and support the local film industry.
