James Cameron – Self-Made Director

James Cameron – Self-Made Director

, , , 11

I first learned about James Cameron when the first part of the Terminator Franchise, Terminator, was released in 1984.  It is not often that fans pay attention to movie directors, but the film was written and directed by the same person, and this moved me to investigate the story behind it. Meanwhile, he worked on the Piranha Franchise sequel, he had a dream from which he created an alien cyborg sent from the future to prevent the birth of John Conner, the man who would be able to defeat the aliens. The movie presented excellent graphics that were convincing enough to draw my attention. What I discovered about Cameron then, inspired me even more. Although he moves around with some of the top college-educated colleagues, he dropped out of high school, even though he eventually completed a GED. Cameron started a trucking job, but in his spare time, he visited the library and studied graphics and filming. He became good at what he did and created his first test movie

Mother/Android, What is worst than a Zombie Apocalypse? A robot invasion!

Mother/Android, What is worst than a Zombie Apocalypse? A robot invasion!

, , , , , 0

Mother/Android is coming to Hulu and it is disturbing as the horrors of this thriller is more grounded than a zombie apocalypse. Georgia (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her boyfriend, Sam(Algee Smith) are having a baby. It is Moret’s first pregnant role as she had been playing teen roles for a long time. They will have to endure a dangerous journey to escape their home country. Her country got invaded by Androids who wanted to kill humans. She is pregnant with her first child and she will take the risk to face danger just to escape a world that is at war with Artificial intelligence.  Georgia wanted her son to be born in a world without danger and she have to face various vulnerable situations to do that.   Mother/Android reminds me of Terminator with a bit of Bird Box, A World’s end,  and the Netflix film, Mother. The development and growth of artificial intelligence is something exciting and terrifying at the same time. This film is the worst-case scenario portrayal of such

Mileena and Rain are back in Mortal Kombat and they brought Rambo with them

Mileena and Rain are back in Mortal Kombat and they brought Rambo with them

Mileena is one of those videogame characters who videogame characters with peculiar popularity. She has a gorgeous seductive body but behind her mask is a face that not even a mother could love. The combination of sex appeal and grotesque animality is how people describe Mileena. She died in Mortal Kombat X when D’vorah gave her the kiss of death. Despite her death from the storyline, her fanbase had been tweeting Ed Boon, the creator of Mortal Kombat, like crazy. I remember Ed Boon trolling Mileena fans that she won’t be on this game, but now he gave in with the demand. Well, now she is back with her Ally in Mortal Kombat X Rain. Rain appeared on the story mode of Mortal Kombat X as a non-playable enemy. Now he is here to drown the competition. On the trailer of Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat pack 2, Mileena is back with her beastly smile. Mortal Kombat X gave her lips for her death scene purposes, but the lips are now

It Had To Happen: Transformers Vs. The Terminator

Both Hasbro’s Transformers and 20th Century Fox’s Terminators are no strangers to the comic book business, and though both robotic franchises have crossed over with other properties, they’ve never run into each other….until now. IDW has announced a partnership with Dark Horse (who currently holds the Terminator license) to produce Transformers Vs. The Terminator. “I still remember the visceral thrill and terror of my first viewing of THE TERMINATOR, and while I’ve seen it a hundred times since then, it still gets my pulse running,” says John Barber, co-writer and IDW Editor-in-Chief. “I’ve worked on TRANSFORMERS a lot over the years, and the opportunity to combine these two mechanistic universes together to see who comes out on top (while working alongside Tom, David, and my old collaborator Alex, no less) —well, it’s way too exciting a chance to pass up.” For now IDW is keeping details of the story tight. What we want to know is how exactly these bots meet up, and under what circumstances. Since the Autobots want

New Terminator Dark Fate Trailer: The Day After Judgment Day

New Terminator Dark Fate Trailer: The Day After Judgment Day

The date of the apocalypse in Terminator 2 was said to be August 29, 1997. That date came and gone, but Fox figured the world’s most recent August 29 — yesterday — was a good time to release a new Terminator Dark Fate trailer. (And if they ever try to make a “Terminator Holiday” in the vein of Star Wars or Aliens Day, this is probably the date they have in mind.) So here it is, on the Day After Judgment Day…a new peek. Director James Cameron, who brilliantly executed the first two films, is finally returning and ignoring every bit of nonsense that happened between T2 and now. The Connors did indeed prevent the Rise of the Machines in 1997….so what are they doing back all of a sudden? And is that really the T-800? How? We last saw that thing giving the thumbs up as it melted. Cameron said in an interview with Deadline that he’s been very hands-on with the project, though he is not directing (that

The future is inevitable: Linda Hamilton will return as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate, the first robot-uprising sequel since T2 to have original director James Cameron at the helm. Because Cameron (for the most part) knows what he’s doing, this film will ignore every bad Terminator sequel and consider only the first and second movies canon. Sarah and John Connor succeeded in preventing the apocalypse. But many years later, the machines have found another way to take over, and they’re now after a different savior, played by Natalia Reyes. Ms. Connor may be getting up in years, but there will be NO terminating on HER watch! Gabriel Luna plays the new Terminator model, which from appearance we’re guessing is made of nanomachines (actually, if the machines sent nanobots back in time and everybody breathed them, humanity wouldn’t stand a chance….but it wouldn’t be quite as action-y, so forget it). And what role does Mackenzie Davis play: human or bot? No one knew the answer until today, when the trailer

Terminator 6 To Film This Summer

Terminator 6 To Film This Summer

One of the biggest complaints in movies nowadays is that there’s nothing original, and instead, all we get are remakes, rehashes, sequels, etc. And while the Oscars proved that’s not exactly the case (with The Shape Of Water winning Best Picture and Get Out getting best original screenplay), when you hear that Terminator 6 is coming…you start to understand what they mean. The film series was at one time the biggest sci-fi series out there. But, once Terminator 3 came, everything changed. After that came, Terminator Salvation, which was meant to be a trilogy itself, but didn’t get off the ground like many expected. And then, there was Terminator Genisys, which boggled many people’s minds. So, it was a surprise when Terminator 6 was revealed to be happen. Yet, it is, and according to the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger, it’s going to start filming soon. “We are starting to shoot Terminator 6 in June to the middle of October, so I am in that,” Schwarzenegger said to  TheArnoldFans. “I am looking forward to

James Cameron Talks Terminator, Avatar Sequels

James Cameron Talks Terminator, Avatar Sequels

James Cameron has made some boastful comments of late as to plans for two movie brands he helped shape into being: Terminator and Avatar. Apparently he wants to make four or five sequels set in the land of the blue giants, aka Pandora…but realistically, can he promise that many this far away from making just one? No, he can’t, not really — and he’s aware of that. “Let’s face it, if Avatar 2 and 3 don’t make enough money, there’s not going to be a 4 and a 5,” he told Vanity Fair. It’s the first interview in months where he’s swallowed his pride and admitted he doesn’t control the entire Hollywood machine. He also says the new Terminator movie he’s working on is the first chapter in an intended trilogy, but that too is dependent on the box office. “It’s the first of three, the story is mapped out over a three-film arc, but again, if we don’t make any money there isn’t gonna be a two and a

A Date For The Terminator’s Return

After Genisys flopped, 20th Century Fox was about to mothball the whole concept of murderous robots traveling through time in fleshbags. The only person who could save the Terminator was James Cameron himself, and now he’s done just that. Fox has confirmed Cameron’s return to the franchise, which will make its big-screen debut July 26, 2019. We don’t know what got his interest in coming back, but we’ve gotten a few hints he doesn’t consider anything he wasn’t personally involved with to be canon. How else do you explain the fact that Linda Hamilton will be reprising Sarah Connor once more? Also returning is Ahnold himself to his single most famous role. But at age 71, he doesn’t quite look fresh off the assembly line anymore. How will Cameron explain that? As James told THR, he’s come up with some kind of explanation. “You don’t have to get around it. The beauty of it is: He’s a cyborg. And so, the org part is on the outside, meaning organism. And

James Cameron Has Interesting Thoughts on Wonder Woman Film

James Cameron Has Interesting Thoughts on Wonder Woman Film

, , , 0

Easily one of the biggest success stories movie wise for this year was Wonder Woman. The movie was hyped in a big way, but many fans feared it would go the Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad, and Man of Steel route in which it would make a lot of money, but not be loved by fans and critics. Instead, it was a box office smash and a hit amongst reviewers. So much so that Warner Bros. is apparently trying to get under consideration for the Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. In fact, the world seems mostly in love with the film…but there are a few who aren’t heaping as much praise on it as others are. One of which is James Cameron. Who noted to the Guardian that compared to his female lead Sarah Connor, the Wonder Woman film was really a “Step backwards’ for female leads in his mind: “I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards. Sarah Connor was

Tight Race Ensues at Box Office, Terminator Genisys Falls Short

, , 0

Things continue to get interesting in regards to the weekend box office as two new movies sought to take the crown of No.1 film, but both fell to two titans still locked in an epic battle. The true big release this week was Terminator Genisys, which sought to reboot the franchise in a big way, even going so far as to bring back Arnold Schwarzenegger once again to help anchor the film. The movie only brought in $28.7 million from Friday to Sunday. However, as it has been for the last few weeks, the battle for the top spot boiled down to Jurassic World and Inside Out. This is where it gets tricky, and interesting. For the three day box office total, as noted by Hollywood Reporter, Jurassic World is currently in the lead, with $30.9 million, while Inside Out has $30.1. This could easily change by the time the full numbers come in. However, with the 5-day “Fourth of July” weekend totals, the roles are reversed. As noted by MSN, Inside Out in that
