Jon Landau, Avatar and Titanic Producer, Dead at 63


He was remembered fondly by James Cameron, Kate Winslet, and more.

Landau’s family announced his death Saturday, and by Sunday tributes had poured in from those who knew and worked with him. According to Cameron, the pair first met when Landau was “the studio ‘suit’ assigned to oversee True Lies in ’93. In the midst of the logistical nightmare of that production we came to respect and enjoy each other.” Cameron poached Landau from Fox and the duo went on to make one of the most commercially and critically successful movies of all time, Titanic.
