Director James Cameron has told Matt Damon to ‘get over’ turning down Avatar in 2009 for a Bourne film.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the actor, 52, revealed he was courted by director Cameron to star in the epic sci-fi but rejected it – a deal which would have seen him get 10 per cent of the movie’s box office profits, earning him more than $250 million (\u00a3205million).<\/p>\n

But the Titanic movie maker has little sympathy for the Hollywood heavyweight and has said he needs to ‘get over it’.<\/p>\n

‘Get over it!’: Director James Cameron has told Matt Damon to ‘get over’ turning down Avatar in 2009 for a Bourne film in 2009 – which would have earned him more than $250million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In an interview with the BBC, James said: ‘He’s beating himself up over this. And I really think you know, “Matt you’re kind of like one of the biggest movie stars in the world, get over it”.<\/p>\n

‘But he had to do another Bourne movie which was on his runway and there was nothing we could do about that. So he had to regretfully decline.’<\/p>\n

Cameron would be happy for Damon to make a cameo appearance in a future ‘Avatar’ sequel but wouldn’t be offering him any box office takings.<\/p>\n

When asked about an appearance from Matt, the filmmaker said: ‘Must do it. We have to do it so the world is in equilibrium again. But he doesn’t get 10 per cent, f*** that.’<\/p>\n

\"Making <\/div>\n

Making a choice: In 2019, Damon revealed he was courted by director Cameron to star in the epic sci-fi but rejected it – a deal which would have seen him get 10 per cent of the movie’s box office profits (pictured in Bourne The Ultimatum in 2007)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Matt previously lamented the quarter-of-a-billion-dollar deal that has become one of his ‘bigger regrets’ in life, as he took part in an interview with Christian Bale for <\/span>British GQ‘s November edition in October 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussing what happened ahead of the 2009 movie, Matt explained: ‘Jim Cameron offered me Avatar. And when he offered it to me, he goes, \u201cNow, listen. I don’t need anybody. I don’t need a name for this, a named actor. <\/p>\n

‘If you don’t take this, I’m gonna find an unknown actor and give it to him, because the movie doesn’t really need you. But if you take the part, I’ll give you 10 percent of [the movie’s takings].’<\/p>\n

Matt went on to discuss the moment he told his Promised Land co-writer John Krasinski about the deal he had turned down, as he added: ‘He goes, \u201cIf you had done that movie, nothing in your life would be different. <\/p>\n

‘Nothing in your life would be different at all. Except that, right now, we would be having this conversation in space”.’<\/p>\n

He said: ‘I was offered a little movie called Avatar. I will go down in history. You will never meet an actor who turned down more money than me.’<\/p>\n

\"Blunt: <\/div>\n

Blunt: In an interview with the BBC, James said: ‘He’s beating himself up over this – I really think you know, “Matt you’re kind of like one of the biggest movie stars in the world, get over it”.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Damon joked that he would have had enough money to send a rocket into space like tycoons Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n

The Departed actor added: ‘With these billionaires blasting off into space I probably would have bought a rocket ship, I don’t know.’<\/p>\n

He added that turning down the role was probably one of his ‘bigger regrets’ in life as he feels he wouldn’t have the chance to work with Cameron again because the director has made only seven movies in his whole career.<\/p>\n

‘I didn’t realize that. He works so infrequently, but his movies, you know all of them. So it feels like he’s made more than he has,’ Matt admitted.<\/p>\n

‘I realized in having to say no that I was probably passing on the chance to ever work with him. So that sucked and that’s still brutal. But my kids are all eating. I’m doing OK.’<\/p>\n

The first outing for Avatar took almost ten years to make, with Cameron’s original idea for the flick cooked up in 1994. <\/p>\n

It was a ground-breaking science-fiction epic that broke all box office records in 2009, after earning $2,787,965,087 and toppling 1996 film Titanic to become the highest-grossing film of all-time.<\/p>\n

The newest movie, Avatar: The Way Of Water earned $434.5 million during its global debut, according to studio estimates on Sunday, after its director James Cameron said it needs to earn $2 billion to break even. <\/p>\n
