The 71-year-old said, “It was just so much fun, I mean, she is such a wonderful artist, she’s so talented, and she and I are directing that together, so we will be in the cutting room together. I figured she created the show; she was the architect of one of the most amazing live shows I have ever seen. She earned her director props already.”
In an interesting update, James Cameron also confirmed they used the same cameras to shoot the concert film as for Avatar, which means this could be the best-looking concert film to date.
