James Cameron has decided to put an end to years of rumors about the supposed invitation he extended to Matt Damon to star in the "Avatar" saga in the legendary role of "Jake Sully." According to the filmmaker, the version presented by the actor is far from the truth, as at no point was an official offer made to him, much less a multi-million dollar exchange proposed, as the famous actor revealed some time ago. And we cannot forget that it was Matt Damon himself who spread the version claiming that the director of the renowned saga had offered him a large share of the profits if he agreed to lead the cast. However, the actor had to turn down the deal due to his commitment to the “Jason Bourne” story. "Jim Cameron called me and offered me 10% of Avatar. You'll never meet an actor who's turned down more money than me... I was shooting the Bourne movie and I would have to leave it pretty soon, leaving them a bit high and dry, and I didn't want to do that," he said at the time. Meanwhile, the mind behind productions like “Titanic” and “True Lies” shared their version of events in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, revealing a few discrepancies with Matt Damon's account. “They never offered him the role,” he stated emphatically. "I don't remember if I sent him the script or not. I don't think so. Then we ended up on a call and he said, 'I'd love to explore the possibility of making a film with you. I have a lot of respect for you as a filmmaker. Avatar sounds intriguing. But I really have to make this Jason Bourne movie,'" he added to the publication. When asked for more details about their alleged interaction, James Cameron reiterated: "He was never offered the role. There was never a deal. We never discussed the character. We never got to that level. It was simply a matter of availability." Beyond being annoyed by the “anecdote,” The renowned director lamented that the celebrity had floated the idea of ??an offer that never existed in the media: “What he's done is extrapolate the idea that 'I get 10% of the gross revenue from all my films.' And if, in his opinion, that's what it would have cost him to make Avatar,it wouldn't have happened. Believe me," he emphasized. Despite the situation, James Cameron concluded his talk by expressing his desire to one day collaborate with Damon: "All my respect to Matt. I would love to work with him, but that never happened. It was a succession of different things happening at the same time,” he argued.
