Artist, scientist, businessman: The three sides of James Cameron

By Ben Flanagan

There are three sides to the director James Cameron: artist; scientist; and businessman. Each facet will be on show in the capital this week, writes Ben Flanagan

In his acceptance speech for Titanic's haul of Oscars in 1998, the director James Cameron declared himself the "king of the world", echoing the famous line from the film.

While there is an amount of artistic licence in that claim, it is indisputable that in more than three decades in movies, Mr Cameron has emerged as the "king of content" in the global media industry.

Quality content is the key theme of this week's Abu Dhabi Media Summit, at which Mr Cameron will give today's opening address, in conversation with the News Corp executive James Murdoch.
