Director James Cameron has teamed up with Earth Day Network, pledging to plant one million trees across the globe by the end of 2010.
The folks behind Cameron’s Oscar-winning film Avatar will be releasing the Blu-ray and DVD of the film on Earth Day in an effort to help fans go green, producers announced at a press conference Tuesday. Cameron, on the other hand, used the occasion to lash out at conservative FOX News commentator Glenn Beck, offering to debate the Fox News personality on environmental and political issues.
When asked what he thought about Beck during the press junket for the Avatar-Earth Day initiative, Cameron replied: “Glenn Beck is a f—ing asshole. I’ve met him. He called me the anti-Christ, and not about ‘Avatar.’ He hadn’t even seen ‘Avatar’ yet. I don’t know if he has seen it.”
He continued: “He’s dangerous because his ideas are poisonous…..I couldn’t believe when he was on CNN. I thought, what happened to CNN? Who is this guy? Who is this madman? And then of course he wound up on Fox News, which is where he belongs, I guess.”
