James Cameron 'Loosely Attached' To New 'Terminator' Movies, 'Genesis' And Sequels Starring Emilia Clarke, Matt Smith and Arnold Schwarzenegger

James Cameron is a legendary filmmaker that brought us such great movies as Titanic and Avatar, but his true fans appreciate him mostly for Terminator. With a reboot hitting the franchise just next year, Cameron must have some opinions to share, right?

At a recent Q&A session held at the Hero Complex Film Festival, the director got his chance to address some fans' inquiries about the upcoming movies.

"I pay attention to [the new Terminator films] but I'm not terribly concerned about it one way or the other," he admitted. "I've had to let it go. There was a point in time where I debated going after the rights. Carolco Pictures, the company that produced Terminator 2, was failing and in bankruptcy and the rights were in play. I talked briefly to 20th Century Fox about it. At a certain point, I think I was finishing Titanic at the time and I just felt as a filmmaker maybe I've gone beyond it. I really wasn't that interested. I felt like I'd told the story I wanted to tell. I suppose I could have pursued it more aggressively and gone to the mat for it but I felt like I was laboring in someone else's house in a sense because I had sold the rights very early on."

He explained deeper, eventually concluding his statement with: "I'm not trying to take credit for the film that they're making but that was my goal in being loosely attached to the film but I won't have any credit on it."
