The Oscar-winning Titanic and Avatar producer was 63.
Jon Landau , the prolific, Oscar-winning producer of Titanic and Avatar , died at 63 on Friday following a cancer battle. Along with Landau's longtime collaborator, filmmaker James Cameron — whose films, including Titanic , Avatar , and Avatar : The Way of Water are among the highest-grossing of all time — Hollywood stars are taking to social media to pay tribute to the"tireless" and"visionary" producer who was shepherding three Avatar sequels at the time of his death.
Landau was appointed senior vice president of feature production at 20th Century Fox in 1990. Along with Titanic, Landau produced Solaris and Alita: Battle Angel for Cameron's Fox-based Lightstorm Entertainment, behind the blockbuster Avatar franchise that has grossed over $5.2 billion at the global box office between just two films.
Landau's Avatar cast shared tributes with references inspired by the Na'vi, the people of the Pandora-set saga. "Dear Jon. Words are hard to put together right now, your passing is hitting really hard. You are leaving us too soon, my thoughts are with you and your family right now," she wrote."Your wisdom and support shaped so many of us in ways we will always be grateful for. The memories we shared together will always hold a special place in my heart. Your legacy will continue to inspire us and guide us in our journey. Rest in peace, dear Jon. You will be deeply missed.
