I believe that Cameron is being misquoted when they say he loved the script.
According to this article
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/12/15/exclusive-a-forbidden-planet-update-from-james-cameron/

he hasn't seen JMS' script yet but expected to shortly.  What he said he loved
was Forbidden Planet.

I think that "Avatar" will be my Christmas day movie.
