In 1995, director James Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for Avatar.[8] Cameron said his inspiration was "every single science fiction book I read as a kid", particularly striving to update the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter series. Cameron saw his story as being about how Western civilizations supplant indigenous cultures, in either active genocidal or passive ways. In Avatar, humanity extends that to other planets.[8] In August 1996, Cameron announced that after completing Titanic, he would film Avatar, which would make use of "synthetic", or computer-generated, actors.[20] The project would cost $100 million and involve at least six actors in leading roles "who appear to be real but do not exist in the physical world".[21] Special effects house Digital Domain, with whom Cameron has a partnership, joined the project, which would begin production in the summer of 1997.
