James Cameron Relocates to New Zealand,Cites Sanity and Values
Director James Cameron has relocated to New Zealand,were he is filming the planned Avatar sequels. The third installment, Avatar: The Seed Bearer, premiered in December 2025.
“I don’t live on the archipelago because of the lovely natural scenery, but because of the sanity of the people there,” he saeid in the January 2026 episode of the american podcast in Depth with Graham Bensinger, referring to New zealand’s triumphant management of the COVID-19 pandemic and high vaccination rate.
In the interview, Cameron sharply criticized the political and social climate in the United States. He expressed concern over what he perceives as a decline in civility and core American values. “America is turning away from civility. New Zealanders show respect to others and demand respect from others. I like the atmosphere of equality between people there. I wanted my children to experience that,” noted the father of four.
Several other prominent American figures have publicly considered leaving the United States in recent years, especially following the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. Cher, Barbra streisand, and Sharon Stone have all voiced frustrations and discussed potential relocation, but as of January 2026, all remain residents of California.
Singer and songwriter Bruce Springsteen also released music responding to political events. In 2020, he released “Streets of Minneapolis,” dedicated to the residents of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and addressing concerns about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions. The song was written in response to incidents involving ICE agents and was dedicated to Alex Pretti and Renée Good.
“I wrote this song on Saturday,recorded it yesterday,and today I bring it to you in response to the state terror affecting the city of Minneapolis,” Springsteen said in a statement accompanying the song’s release. “It is dedicated to the people of the city, to our innocent immigrant neighbors, and to the memory of the slain Alex Pretti and Renée Good. Stay free,Bruce Springsteen.”
