James Cameron Details Thoughts on Alien: Romulus, Terminator: Zero
is known for his work across many popular film franchises, including the worlds of Alien and Terminator. With two new projects existing in those worlds on the horizon, Cameron talked briefly about his involvement.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron was asked about his thoughts on the upcoming Alien: Romulus. Cameron acknowledged he had seen the film, but said he didn’t have as much creative input as people think, as he doesn’t know director Fede Álvarez all that well.
“I saw a rough cut six months ago, so I’m sure it’s changed a lot. And I viewed it once,” said Cameron. “I gave some notes to [director Fede Álvarez]. He and I aren’t close pals. I mean, I wish him the best with it, but I think it’s been overstated that I had some big creative input to that film. I think Ridley [Scott] did because Ridley was an actual producer on the film. So I’m just putting it in perspective.”
As far as Terminator goes, Cameron also gave his thoughts on Netflix‘s upcoming anime adaptation Terminator Zero. The legendary filmmaker said it looks “interesting,” and that he’s curious to see how a show like that interprets the world of Terminator.

“It looks interesting. My relationship to that is very much like The Sarah Connor Chronicles — other people spinning stories in a world I set in motion is interesting to me,” Cameron said. “What’s their takeaway? What intrigued them about it? Where are they going with it? It looks like they’re going back to the root cause of Judgment Day — the nuclear war — and whether that’s an ultimate timeline. I’d be curious to see what they’ve come up with. I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with that. Like with The Sarah Connor Chronicles, they occasionally touched on things I had been playing with completely independently. So there’s some curiosity there. It’s not a burning curiosity, but, obviously, it’d be nice to see it succeed.”
