McG Not Blessed By The Almighty James Cameron

By George 'El Guapo' Roush on September 29, 2008
I think this is silly news, but I'm paid to post silly news, so here we go. Back in July during Comic-Con McG talked about his phone conversations with Cameron and how James apparently didn't care about a 4th Terminator movie being made.

McG, could you talk about your meetings with James Cameron?

McG: Well I was a double dip.  I was going to town to see Sam down at the Marina Del Ray space there by LAX and you know it was a complete motion cap environment and Sam's in his data suit and everybody's running around with little balls hanging off their leotards and I got to play with the cameras and talk to Jim at length.  And we've had several phone calls and he knows that I respect him a great deal.  And like I said, I did not want to move forward on this picture if Jim Cameron were like fuck you.  You know what are you doing?  You know you have no business moving forward on this.  Very simply I would have acquiesced and said you're right.  You're the creator of what it is and I respect that.  And he was very encouraging and we talked at length about the story.  We talked about Sam and most particularly we talked about his experience on "Aliens" and the idea of you can't live in fear.  You've got to move forward.

In Canada, James was being interviewed when the subject of Terminator: Salvation came up:

Q. Are you involved at all in the Christian Bale production of Terminator 4?
 
It could be a big steaming pile or it could be brilliant. Sam Worthington is in the Avatar and the new Terminator and he likes the script, but I never saw it. There was no blessing involved.

If you want my opinion, I don't care if he gave his blessing or not and it doesn't matter anyway because the film is in production. But like I said earlier, I get paid to post silly news.

I'm from Toronto... We're known for being pretty nice people, but for a Canadian guy, James Cameron seems like an ASS. I'm excited about the movie though, it looks great soo far and I love the cast.
