White Lotus Star Sam Nivola Reacts To ‘Nepo Baby' Label, Feels Proud To Have Found Work Himself
The White Lotus actor Sam Nivola doesn't consider himself a nepo baby because he has created his own work opportunities. Sam Nivola is 'proud" he's never relied on his famous parents for help with his career. The White Lotus star is the son of actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola and the pair banned him from auditioning for roles before he turned 18, but a year before then, his high school drama teacher helped him land an audition for White Noise and he sent in a self-tape in secret. Once he made it through to the next round to play the son of Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig's characters, he confessed to his parents and they said: 'Holy f****** s***, it's a Noah Baumbach movie?! You have to do the callback!" And asked about being a 'nepo baby", he laughed to Variety: 'Other than my genes, I don't think I can attribute much of my success to my parents. I feel proud that I've done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them." '[With my first role] I didn't get my dad's agent to call up so-and-so. I did it by myself. I didn't want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I've achieved has been because of anyone other than me. And I'm proud of that." Emily and Alessandro were further 'upset" when Sam, now 21, dropped out of college after just one semester studying Latin and film at Columbia. He said: 'My parents were upset. It totally scared them, which is understandable. I wasn't happy at the time because I couldn't dedicate everything in me to acting. 'And, I have problems with authority figures." Despite growing up with parents in the public eye, Sam was unprepared for the level of fame The White Lotus would bring him. He said: 'When The White Lotus was at its peak, I literally couldn't walk down the street in Brooklyn — my hometown — without being swarmed." To escape the attention, the Perfect Couple actor and his friends asked ChatGPT to find 'the worst bar in the East Village" and ended up in a taproom where speaking was banned. He recalled: 'We're yelling, 'This place is f****** awesome!' and everyone's like, 'Shhh!'" view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

James Cameron Gives His Reason For Dedicating His Filmmaking Career to Avatar Franchise: 'People Sometimes Just Want...'
James Cameron has returned to his director's chair for the third Avatar film, Fire and Ash. As the makers and the cast members prepare for the big release, the filmmaker opened up about the reason why he dedicated his filmmaking career to the hit action/sci-fi franchise. While sitting down for a conversation with Rolling Stone, the director revealed that getting into the industry wasn't only about the money but also about the hope of doing good for the world. Previously, in an interview with Empire, Cameron opened up about his plans to develop Avatar's fourth and fifth installments, too, once the upcoming film is released. James Cameron reflects on only directing Avatar movies While in an interview with the media portal, James Cameron opened up about being dedicated to developing only Avatar films throughout his filmmaking career. The director revealed, 'I've justified making 'Avatar' movies to myself for the last 20 years, not based on how much money we made, but on the basis that hopefully it can do some good.' He further added, 'It can help connect us. It can help connect us to our lost aspect of ourself that connects with nature and respects nature and all those things.' Elsewhere in the talks, the director claimed that while the movies are not the answer to human problems, people sometimes just look for entertainment. Cameron explained, 'I think 'Avatar' is a Trojan horse strategy that gets you into a piece of entertainment but then works on your brain and your heart a little bit in a way.' James Cameron's movies outside Avatar franchise As for James Cameron directorials outside of the Avatar franchise, he stepped behind the camera for the classic Leonardo DiCaprio film, Titanic. The movie went on to be nominated for the Oscars, and the cast and the crew won 11 Academy Awards. Additionally, Cameron announced last week that he will be directing the Ghosts of Hiroshima, which will be based on the novel of the same name by Charles Pellegrino. The film will talk about the disastrous nuclear attack and the aftermath. James Cameron is also developing a movie based on Joe Abercrombie's fantasy novel, The Devils. Further details about the upcoming films will be rolled out soon.

Avatar Director James Cameron Issues Dire Warning About AI And 'Terminator-Style Apocalypse'
James Cameron has warned of a 'Terminator-style apocalypse' from AI, fearing extinction if AI accesses weapons. The filmmaker is currently making Avatar 3. James Cameron has warned that the world is on the brink of a 'Terminator-style apocalypse". The moviemaker has revealed his fears over the rise of AI in recent years and admitted it's possible for humankind to be left facing extinction if an artificial intelligence network is allowed access to weapons systems, as predicted in his 1984 sci-fi movie The Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. He told Rolling Stone magazine: 'I do think there's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defence counterstrike, all that stuff. Because the theatre of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we'll be smart and keep a human in the loop." 'But humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war. So I don't know," he continued. Cameron went on to add, 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence. They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time." Cameron recently signed an open letter calling for nuclear disarmament and his next film project is Ghosts of Hiroshima, based on the Charles Pellegrino book of the same name which tells the story of the atomic bomb blast in 1945 and its aftermath. The director recently admitted the movie might be the most 'challenging film" he's will lever make. Speaking to Discussing Film, Cameron explained, 'This might be the most challenging film I ever make. I don't 100 per cent have my strategy fully in place [right now] for how I want to see it, for how I want to shield people from the horror, but still be honest. Also, for how I can find some kind of poetry, beauty, or spiritual epiphany in it somehow, which I know must be there. It's there in every human story. So, it's going to be very challenging. I might not even be up to the task, but that never stopped me before." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
