Michael here. It's long been known that
Laeta Kalogridis has been working on
Battle Angel and
The Dive for James Cameron, and her work on the Avatar script has also recently come to light. Kalogridis has been a very well-respected screenwriter, but until now it seems she hasn't had much luck getting her screenplays produced. Well, that's about to change -
Kalogridis' career is really heating up. Later this year, along with a little movie called Avatar, she has Martin Scorsese's
Shutter Island. She is also working on the script for the action-comedy
Witchita, which will star Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.
The Los Angeles Times has an interesting
profile of Kalogridis, including this quote about her collaboration with Cameron:
"The whole reason I came out to Hollywood was the influence of [Cameron's] work, his transformation of how we think of action, and how we think of female heroes in action."
I can't wait to see what she does with Battle Angel, which has insane action along with a complex female protagonist.
