JAMES CAMERON INTERVIEWS
The “TERMINATOR” script James Cameron gave me at the end of our interview.
In 1985 Japanese writer/editor Shinji Nakako and I interviewed James Cameron about his first success, “Terminator,” at the Mulholland Drive home he shared with producer, co-writer and wife Gail Anne Hurd. The interview was for a book Shinji published in Japan. I asked Cameron if he had an extra copy of the “Terminator” script, and he reached into a closet and grabbed one for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to ask him to autograph it for me.
2022 Update: With “Avatar: The Way of Water” about to hit movie theaters worldwide, our interview from long ago was translated into French! Play it again, Sam : James Cameron ou l’Esprit de suites (entretien inédit).
1985 cover of “The TAH-MEE-NAY-TAH Album.”
My thanks to my Starfix friend Frédéric Albert Levy for translating the original interview for Boojum.fr. Our credit appears at the very end.
I interviewed James Cameron and Gail Anne Herd a second time upon the release of “Aliens.” My interview appeared in Starfix, No 41, in October 1986.
