James Cameron hopes to work with Kate Winslet again
Los Angeles: Kate Winslet had branded him as "a nightmare to work with" but `Titanic` helmer James Cameron hopes to cast the British actress in his future project.Stars of Cameron`s films have often criticised him for his extreme techniques and Winslet went public with the fact she often prayed for death during miserable water tank scenes in
the multiple-Oscar-winning film, Playboy magazine reported.

"We simply let Kate think she was nearly drowning. A little spluttering and coughing does not count in my book, because I have almost drowned several times and I know what it feels like," said Cameron, who is notorious for his temper.

However, the 55-year-old-director is hopeful of working with the British beauty again and feels she just over exaggerated the fact she almost died while making the film.

"Asking God to please let you die? I was thinking the same thing at about the same point (in the film)... Kate probably got some unnecessary stress from me, but I would say
99 per cent of her stress was internally induced as part of her acting process," he said.

"The real question is, `Would she work with me again...?` My guess is, absolutely. I`d certainly work with her again; she`s very talented," Cameron added.

The Canada-born filmmaker, however, is not keen to work with DiCaprio.

"Leo DiCaprio switches his acting on and off like a faucet," Cameron said.

The director`s latest 3D adventure `Avatar`, which is the costliest movie to be ever made, is slated to hit the theatres this December.
