James Cameron may conquer it all.  Two of his movies hold the number one and two spot as the highest-grossing blockbusters of all time and now he plans to turn his Oscar-nominated movie “Avatar” into a novel, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Cameron confirmed he’s writing the novel during a reception held in his honor Tuesday, February 16, in New York City. He said the book will follow the film version, which he directed, fairly close in terms of plot, but the novel will go more in depth about Pandora and the characters.

The Twitterverse was inundated with thoughts on Cameron’s announcement:

1.
