The career rise of 'Avatar' director James Cameron, from a flop 'Piranha' sequel to making 2 of the biggest movies of all time
While that plan didn't pan out, much of the short's themes and visual sensibilities can be seen in Cameron's other work. He told Slashfilm last year that it might be worth revisiting for more inspiration.
"I was hired by a very unscrupulous producer who worked out of Italy," Cameron told the Academy of Achievement."He put me with an Italian crew who spoke no English, even though I was assured that they would all speak English. I actually had to learn some Italian very quickly, I'm talking about in two weeks. That's all the prep time I had, because I was actually replacing someone else.
After "Aliens," Cameron made "The Abyss," another sci-fi movie about a diving team that finds aliens."The Abyss," which was once again produced by Gale Ann Hurd, earned $130 million at the US box office in today's dollars, after adjusting for inflation. In 1991, seven years after the first "Terminator," Cameron's sequel, "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" was released."Terminator 2: Judgement Day" was a smash hit, making $205 million in the US, which would be $448 million today.
At the time of its release, it was the most expensive movie ever made, with a production budget of $200 million.
