Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on how he came up with the idea of The Terminator] "I would see these images of a metallic death figure rising Phoenix-like out of fire, I woke up and grabbed a pencil and paper and started writing. When I originally got the idea for Terminator, I was sick, I was broke, I was in Rome, I had no way to get home and I could barely speak the language... See more »

Trivia:

In 2010, his movie Avatar became the highest grossing movie of all time, not adjusted for inflation. It is also the first movie to gross the 2 billion dollar mark at the box office. Until Avatar, Cameron's previous movie Titanic was the highest grossing movie of all time for 12 years (also not adjusted for inflation). See more »

Trademark:

Often features shots of large explosions, crashes, gunshots, etc. in the background with people running away in the foreground. These shots were used heavily in Terminator 2: Judgment Day and True Lies but also in other films. See more »
