Jon Landau, an Oscar-winning producer who worked closely with director James Cameron on Titanic and the Avatar series, has died aged 63. Alan Bergman, Disney Entertainment co-chairman, announced Landau’s death in a statement. No cause of death was given. “Jon was a visionary whose extraordinary talent and passion brought some of the most unforgettable stories to life on the big screen,” Bergman said.
Landau’s career began in the 1980s as a production manager, and he gradually rose through the ranks until taking on a producer role on Titanic, Cameron’s expensive epic about the infamous disaster. The bet paid off: Titanic became the first movie to cross $US1 billion in global box-office earnings and went on to win 11 Oscars, including best picture. “I can’t act and I can’t compose and I can’t do visual effects. I guess that’s why I’m producing.
