9. Solaris (2002)
Producer In Camerons most recent big screen credit, he acted as producer for
Steven Soderberghs 2002
Clooney-starring
Solaris. Based on the
Stanislaw Lem novel of the same name, and essentially a remake of the 1972
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet film, again, of the same name; the western remake of Solaris didnt really set the box office alight. In fact if anything, the films billing as some sort of intergalactic love story probably suckered a number of people who ordinarily would have never paid to see a space set psychological drama, and it seemed to leave audiences cold when they actually saw the movie. That said, you can see why Cameron got involved in this, the claustrophobia echoes that of
The Abyss, and Clooney gives a pretty meaty performance alongside a pre-Doubt hype
Viola Davis and weirdy beardy
Jeremy Davies.
