MUMBAI: James Cameron is moving to New Zealand with his family where he wants to run a farm and help build the local film industry. Cameron, who directed blockbusters like Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Titanic and Avatar, has purchased 250 hectares and applied for residency.

Speaking on Skype from an expedition at sea, Cameron told ONE News he had bought a block of land near Featherston.

Cameron said moving Downunder had been his long cherished dream after he fell in love with the countryside and people during time here in 1994.

The Oscar-winning director said he will be turning to the community for advice.
