In this 'Sanctum,' James Cameron is producer-godfather

In this ‘Sanctum,’ James Cameron is producer-godfather
The ‘Avatar’ director is a big believer in 3-D. When colleagues proposed a smaller-budget film using the technology — to tell an underwater story, one of his faves — he became godfather. If you think your boss is intimidating, imagine how Alister Grierson feels.

Cameron was named for the pioneering Cameron family. The settlement was originally known as Bear Creek. Addison Bovey Cameron and his brother James took up desert claims here in 1886. Add Cameron had the first post office in his home from 1890 to 1893. Later he and Josie had a store and post office on the ground floor of a building and a dance or community hall on the upper floor.

In 1919 the Cameron store building was purchased by Frank Falbaum, who moved it six miles down the road to take advantage of the highway business generated by tourists traveling between Ennis and Yellowstone Park. This angered Bear Creek settlers, and for years none of them would trade at the Cameron store.

The ranchers who now use the post office as headquarters have rich hay and pasture lands spreading up to the foot of Sphinx Mountain (elev. 10,860 ft.). The mountain was officially named by geologists because of a supposed resemblance to the Great Sphinx of Giza, but natives affectionately call it "Old Red" because of the beautiful red rock cliffs that glisten in the sunset. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)

Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest covers the area to both the east and west of Cameron. This is the largest of the national forests in Montana, and it covers 3.32 million acres in eight southwestern Montana counties. It offers breathtaking scenery for a wide variety of recreational pursuits, including camping, fishing, picnicking, or even wilderness trekking in the Lee Metcalf Wilderness.

Also near Cameron, the Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including elk, mule deer, black bears, grizzlies, mountain grouse, and many others. Here you can enjoy hunting and wildlife viewing. In addition to those animals named above, sandhill cranes, raptors, songbirds and numerous small mammals can be found through much of the year. Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area is located in Madison County, 5 miles east of Cameron at the base of the west face of the Madison Range. From the small community of Cameron, turn east on the county road and follow the signs to the entrance.

James Cameron Trivia!
I remember seeing that Harrison Ford signed on to a film called Godspeed. It was supposed to be directed by James Cameron. After 4 years of speculation, with Indy 4 already released, and Cameron already doing 2 big films, is it safe to assume that it got canceled? why did it?

Answer by ShinyThings
Yeah it got canceled. No reason given except an assumption that he choose to do Indy 4 when he would’ve been doing Godspeed. Just sounds like the project never came into fruition that’s all.

“First bit of news, the science-fiction film he was going to do, Godspeed, has been canned. "Godspeed is gone, that was a space project with James Cameron", he says of the project, which would have told of a crisis on an international space station.”
