Jon Landau has passed away at the age of 63. Now, his longtime producing partner James Cameron has paid tribute to Landau. In a conversation with Variety, he shared that he feels that "a part of myself has been torn away." James and Jon were partners for about 30 years, and they worked together on films such as Titanic and the beloved Avatar series.

The director told Variety, “The Avatar family grieves the loss of our friend and leader, Jon Landau. His zany humour, personal magnetism, great generosity of spirit, and fierce will have held the centre of our Avatar universe for almost two decades.”
