V roli šéfproducenta natočil dokument Ztracený Ježíšův hrob , který odvysílal Discovery Channel 4. března 2007.Po úspěchu Titaniku se od filmu na dvanáct let odmlčel, místo toho se pustil do objevných podmořských expedicí. V roce 2009 se na filmová plátna opět vrací se sci-fi snímkem Avatar.V roce 2012 se stal třetím člověkem na světě, který se ponořil na dno Marianského příkopu. Nejdříve se několikrát ponořil do osmikilometrové hloubky u pobřeží Papuy-Nové Guiney a 26. března 2012 pak pokořil hloubku 10 898 m v Marianském příkopu. Ve všech případech použil batyskaf Deepsea Challenger a během pobytu pod hladinou pomocí dvojice stereoskopických kamer na výložnících natáčel unikátní záběry pro své další dokumentární i hrané filmy.

Interview http://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/nutrition/james-cameron-why-i-eat-a-vegan-diet-20150915 with John Gaudiosi in Men's Journal (15 September 2015)
Kontext: [About veganism] You're going to be healthier, you're going to live longer, you're going to look better. You're going to have fewer zits. You're going to be slimmer. You're going to radiate health. You're going to have a better sex drive. That's what shifting away from meat and dairy does. My whole family did this, and we're doing spectacularly well from a health standpoint. I have not had a single sniffle, not a flu, not a cold, nothing that's taken me offline as much as an hour in three and a half years.

Kontext: Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality. … Don’t put limitations on yourself. Other people will do that for you. Don’t do that to yourself. Don’t bet against yourself. And take risk. NASA has this phrase that they like, "Failure is not an option." But failure has to be an option. In art and exploration, failure has to be an option. Because it is a leap of faith. And no important endeavour that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. … In whatever you are doing, failure is an option. But fear is not.

Kontext: I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.

Kontext: A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson, and that he saved me in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory.

Because of the huge, huge carbon footprint of animal agriculture. I was shocked to find out that animal agriculture directly or indirectly accounts for 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions, compared to all transportation – every ship, car, truck, plane on the planet only accounts for 13%. Less than animal agriculture. So most people think that buying a Prius is the answer, and it’s certainly not wrong, but it’s not the biggest agent of climate change.
