Yahoo (via Slashfilm) have reported that the self-proclaimed king of the world has stated in a Brazilian newspaper that he will make a return visit to the country and produce a 3D film about the indigenous Xikrin-Kayapo tribe, who are based in the Amazon.
Cameron is no stranger to documentary-making as his deep sea expeditions have proved, and it’s nice to see he has an altruistic side by agreeing to document a tribe whose environment is potentially under threat from the proposed building of a huge dam close by.
Documenting (in 3D) the activities and behaviour of this fascinating tribe (who perforate their ears and lips in early infancy to emphasize hearing and speech) could be a nice real-life companion piece to Avatar’s fictitious Pandora natives.
I wonder if Cameron will treat the Xikrin-Kayapo to an impromptu showing of his tale of young love cut short by an iceberg?
