here are some of th ehighlights from the James Cameron Q&A yesterday Will you ever make True Lies 2? We abandoned True Lies 2 after 9/11, because we didnt think a comedy about fundamentalist terrorists was so funny anymore. And then we never picked it up again. Whats your favorite guilty pleasure movie? Probably Resident Evil, the first one. I just like that film! You dont have to defend a guilty pleasure. Q: What are your thoughts on Prometheus? I thought it was an interesting film. I thought it was thought provoking and beautifully, visually mounted, but at the end of the day it didnt add up logically. But I enjoyed it, and Im glad it was made. I liked it better than the previous two Alien sequels. Did you ever try to do another Alien movie? [There was] the idea of doing Alien 5. And at one point I pitched that I would write it and produce it, and Ridley [Scott] would direct it. We had lunch talking about this, and we were in agreement, then nothing happened. What happened was Fox went ahead with Aliens Vs Predator and I said I really dont recommend that, youll ruin the franchise. Its like Universal doing Dracula versus the Werewolf. And then I lost interest in doing an Alien film. I dont think I have anything to offer on the Prometheus sequels, thats Ridleys. on Avitar sequels The second, third and fourth films all go into production simultaneously, he said. Theyre essentially all in pre-production now, because we are designing creatures, settings, and characters that span all three films. And we should be finished with all three scripts within the next, I would say, six weeks. Regarding Schwarzenegger, Cameron replied: As of right now, [Arnold] and I have not discussed it, and I dont see a role as the scripts are coming together that would be appropriate for him, so I would say probably not. Regarding Battle Angel, he said: My intention when I made Avatar was to do Battle Angel next. However, the positive feedback for Avatar and the support of the message of Avatar, encouraged me to do more of those films. and on the termanator series Im not a big fan of the [Terminator] films, he revealed. I didnt make the second film until I had an idea as big as the first film, and it had to do with the moral complexity of the story, and asking the audience by the end of the film to cry for a Terminator. I dont think that the 3rd or 4th film lived up to that potential. He continued: Sarah Connor Chronicles I never really watched much of it, so I never gave it a chance to get hooked, like you have to with a TV series. Im hopeful that the new films, which are being made right now as a reboot, but still involving Arnold, will be good. From what Ive seen from afar, it looks like they will be quite good. Regarding who would win in a battle, T-800, Alien queen or Navi, Cameron said: An Armed T-800 with a plasma rifle will clean house. All it has to do is shoot the Alien queen, and have it bleed on the Navi. I would think that all three of them unarmed. Queen beats Navi. Queen beats T-800, because the T-800 would tear the arm off a queen, which would dissolve the mantel and shut down the cyborg. Now, a Navi riding a leonopteryx or a Navi riding a thanataur, that would be a different story.
