In the 2009 film Avatar, who directed the fictional moon Pandora’s story?

In the 2009 film Avatar, James Cameron directed the story set on the fictional moon Pandora.

Avatar was written and directed by Canadian filmmaker James Cameron. The science-fiction film follows Jake Sully, a former Marine who uses a remotely operated avatar body to interact with the Na’vi on Pandora, a moon orbiting the gas giant Polyphemus.

The film became known for its extensive use of computer-generated imagery, performance capture, and stereoscopic 3D presentation. It was released in December 2009 and became a major worldwide box-office success.

Pandora in Avatar is unrelated to the jar in Greek mythology. Cameron borrowed the name for a fictional extraterrestrial setting, while the mythological Pandora is a woman created by the gods. Confusing the two is easy because both are prominent uses of the same name.
