Without This Horror B-Movie, We Might Not Have James Cameron's ‘Terminator’
Given the pioneering and lasting impact James Cameron has had on cinema, it may be easy to forget that he emerged from very humble beginnings as a filmmaker. But everyone has to start somewhere, and long before the visionary Canadian became a household name with two Terminator films, Titanic, and Avatar, he ground out a living working for B-movie maestro Roger Corman.
The Production of 'Piranha II' Was an Unpleasant One for James Cameron Dante's film was one of many B-movies that sought to capitalize on the immense success of Steven Spielberg's Jaws .
Years later, Cameron reflected on the unpleasant experience of making the film. " I was replaced after two-and-a-half weeks by the Italian producer," he told the LA Times. To add insult to injury, Cameron couldn't even remove his name from the film despite being fired and disapproving of the creative decisions being made. "Contractually they couldn't deliver it with an Italian name," he remembers. "So they left me on . . . I didn't even know an attorney."
