The Hurt Locker (2009) – The film has James Cameron to thank in part for its success
Hurt Locker Director Kathryn Bigelow wasn’t entirely sure about taking on the project and was considering another film instead.
It was her ex-husband, Oscar-winner James Cameron, who convinced her that it was a movie worth directing. It turned out to be excellent advice with the movie winning six Oscars and even beating Cameron’s nominated film, Avatar.
