A new chapter for the Stranger Things universeRoss Duffer confirms that a live-action spinoff of Stranger Things is moving ahead, but he makes it clear that it is not a feature film. Instead, the project is designed as a television series that expands the franchise without continuing the story of the original characters.

HighlightsCameron rejects the idea of replacing actors with AI-generated performances
Says cinema depends on human expression, not algorithmic creation
Reflects on decades of work on the Avatar franchise and the weight of large-scale filmmaking
Cameron challenges Hollywood’s growing reliance on generative toolsJames Cameron issues a strong warning about the direction generative technology is taking in the industry. The Avatar filmmaker says the idea of creating characters and emotional performances through text prompts is “horrifying” and runs against the foundations of cinema.
In a conversation with Variety, he recalls similar speculation during the development of the first Avatar in 2005, when rumours suggested he was attempting to remove human actors from the process. Cameron dismisses those claims now as firmly as he did then, saying actors have always been central to his storytelling. He explains that the performance-capture technology used in his films is designed to elevate an actor’s work, not replace it.
