We are talking about the filming of the first film Avatar in 2009, in which the actor refused to participate. At that time he was busy with another project.
Hollywood actor Matt Damon regrets the $250 million he lost by not getting a movie for the 2009 release of Avatar, in which he could have starred. The creator of the blockbuster James Cameron told BBC Radio 1 about it, writes Variety.
According to him, the actor still blames it.
The fact is that at that time Damon was involved in the filming of Bourne’s identity. He physically cannot combine both projects.
At the same time, Damon himself argued that this was the morally correct decision.
“He’s beating himself up about it. And I’m thinking, ‘Met, you’re like one of the biggest movie stars in the world, deal with it.’ He was in another Bourne movie and we couldn’t stop him. So he had to regret saying no,” Cameron said.
The director offered the actor a deal where Damon would receive 10% of the film’s box office receipts. At the same time, it is known that Avatar became the first film in the history of cinema, the box office of which exceeded the mark of two billion dollars.
That is, the famous actor can receive more than 250 million dollars.
Remember that Avatar 2, directed by James Cameron, did not make as big a splash as many expected.
