James Cameron's New Fantasy Movie After Avatar: Fire and Ash Revealed
James Cameron has shared details about his new movie after Avatar: Fire and Ash, revealing a new collaboration on social media. The announcement involves a recent bestselling novel and marks his latest screenwriting partnership.
James Cameron announced on Facebook that Lightstorm Entertainment has acquired the rights to Joe Abercrombie's novel The Devils. The book was published on May 6, 2025. It debuted at No. 1 on the Sunday Times bestseller list in the UK and reached No. 5 on the New York Times list. Cameron will co-write the film adaptation with Abercrombie after completing Avatar: Fire and Ash.
In his post, Cameron wrote, 'I can't wait to dig into this as I wind down on Avatar: Fire and Ash. It will be a joyful new challenge for me to bring these indelible characters to life.' Describing the book, he said, 'A twisted, stylish, alt-universe middle-ages romp… The twists and turns come at a rollercoaster pace, and with Joe's signature acerbic wit and style.' He praised Abercrombie's storytelling as 'very cinematic,' noting that 'this adaptation will practically write itself.'
Joe Abercrombie responded to the announcement, saying, 'James Cameron has been thrilling audiences, including me, by putting the impossible on film for over four decades.' He added, 'No one can balance mind-blowing action and spectacle with gut-wrenching personal stakes and story the way he does.'
Cameron said he has followed Abercrombie's work for years but The Devils finally led him to pursue a collaboration. He wrote, 'The freshness of the world and the characters in The Devils finally got me off my butt to buy one of his books and partner with him to bring it to the screen.'
Disney plans to release Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 19, 2025.

NYT ‘Strands' Today: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Thursday, June 5
Strands NYT Looking for Wednesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes. 'Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.' Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that: Mary, Mary, quite… And mine is: Rhyme words Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is: GARDEN Here it is on the page, and read on: Strands NYT And the answers are: Strands NYT Well, I hope you're up on your nursery rhymes that first originated in the year 1744, because that's what we're doing today. There are more modern version of the poem, which was originally from England, and we're taking different words from that version, which is: Well, I got contrary, but to get the rest of those I needed a few hints, as this is not exactly what I'm reading to my kids at night. Also, the spangram is just another word, that's not what the spangram is supposed to be. They keep doing this! Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
