That show about Atlantis looks interesting.

As much as he's tried to save face with his last sentence, he's just slighted Ridley Scott.
I don't believe anything there can be read as a personal insult against Scott (unless you're of the view the guy has never done a mediocre film).
QuoteNews has just come out he's resurrecting Terminator isn't he? f**k off James Cameron, we're not done with Alien but everyone is sure as shit done with Terminator. Now that's milked out.
The rights are automatically reverting back to him, that's all. He may or may not serve as a producer on the next one, should it occur.
Nothing about '
The Terminator' is "milked out". The series just hasn't been handled right since his last one.
QuoteHe's bitter as f**k. Fox went back to Ridley Scott to reinvigorate the franchise before Alien 0 became Prometheus, even though Aliens is the most popular entry.
How do you figure he's bitter? He's the one who's repeatedly said he's not interested in helming one.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2016/07/18/james-cameron-unlikely-return-another-alien-film/QuoteHe sure as well wouldn't say it's a worn out concept if Fox would have came crawling to him to resurrect the franchise true and proper.
I'm sure he
would, actually. He's never been shy of thinking that - and many fans would agree.
Whether or not someone will reinvigorate it, who can say? Don't think he's ever been asked about the '
Alien Isolation' game. I'd imagine that he would consider that beautiful.
QuoteI wouldn't be surprised if it stings a little when he reads/hears Ridley saying "I can't believe no one asked the question of 'who the hell was the space jockey'?" in relation to the sequels to Alien, either.
Why? Cameron was handed an idea the producers wanted him to undertake. The only thing he's mentioned feeling annoyed by, was in it stating, "And then some other bullshit happens," because he felt that was insulting to the original project's source material.
QuoteAll in all, it's supremely annoying to hear James Cameron not only devalue the franchise, but effectively call "us" (the fanbase) unimaginative cause we're still obsessed with it.
He doesn't say anything about the fandom being unimaginative. He's asked his thoughts on the future of the series and literally says, "I don't know. Maybe. Let's see, jury's out. Let's see what Ridley comes up with."
In what possible way is that controversial? He's verbally shrugging his shoulders because there have been so many duds over the years. That's the view most cinema-goers tend to express. Will '
Covenant' reverse that trend? We'll just have to wait and see how it's like. That's what he says, too. If it's not much better than '
Prometheus', then a lot of us are going to feel increasingly cynical about what's ahead.
