While shooting Titanic

At the recent Comic Con McG claimed that James Cameron had officially given him his blessing for the Terminator Salvation. James Cameron shot back by saying there was no freaking blessing involved at all for this. He hadn’t even gotten a chance to read the script for the film. He even called it maybe a big steaming pile or it could be brilliant. “I think all people heard was the steaming pile part and concluded I was against the film, which I’m not. In fact, it might be very good, an opinion based solely on what [Termiantor Salvation star] Sam Worthington has shared with me.” Cameron calls the “blessing” to be a “perfectly innocent” “misunderstanding”. He told this to AICN

“He asked me in a phone call when I was shooting in New Zealand earlier this year if I would be a supporter and creative participant in the new film. I said sure, send me the script and I’ll give you my thoughts. And I warned him that free advice is usually worth what you pay for it. For whatever reason I never got the script and to date I haven’t seen a foot of film other than what everybody’s seen in the trailer, which is not enough to form an opinion. So I have zero basis for supporting or dissing the film.” … “Obviously I can’t give my blessing (whatever that means anyway ) to the film completely blind. But I’m predisposed to be supportive based on Sam’s involvement and his judgment, because I believe in him.”

So this is surely going to be an interesting point to consider. There is still a chance that this movie might turn out to be a great movie even without what James Cameron thinks of it.
