It's because you mentioned it casually. People only pay attention if you proclaim something as an OUTRAGE!!

I don't care that much if the idea was "stolen" or not as long as the movie is good.
You know Cameron is not known to bring really new stories to the screen.
piranhas 2 ( a sequel)
Titanic (based on a true story. No kidding)
Aliens (a sequel)
True Lies (a remake)
Terminator 2 (a sequel... to his own first movie, okay.)
Abyss and The Terminator looks like the only real original ideas coming from the man himself, if I'm right.
But they are all great movies (I did not see piranhas 2 though), so in the end it does not matter to me much.
The new 3 minutes trailer is killer.

I guess you've never heard of CYBORG 2087 which was made in 1966? I have and the similarities to THE TERMINATOR are striking albeit low budget.TMBTM said:
i also don't care but still it would have been alright for JC to buy the film rights to CALL ME JOE since its a short story by an almost forgotten Science fiction writer.
In the overall budget for AVATAR the cost for the rights would have been the equivalent of donuts for the crew.

How true! You got a point.killbillme said:
I heard there were "questions" about The Terminator, indeed. That why I wrote "if I'm right". I did not know about CYBORG 2087 though. Thanks.
JC always said that he made The Terminator out of a dream he had... so I guess I can give him the "bénéfice du doute" as we say in french (don't ask me to translate it, I can't!)

Not to mention Ellison's lawsuit for The Terminator. He sued for similarities to two separate Outer Limits episodes he wrote. It was settled for an undisclosed amount, and now his name is in all subsequent prints.
Which reminds me, I've always meant to ask...T-Hope, you have heaps of different copies on DVD, have any of them somehow escaped the Ellison credit? I have about four or five versions, but they're all the altered print. Just curious.

Most of what I have are the new versions. However I have an older region 1 version. Will have to check that one out. I think I have a version on tape which doesn't have the added credits (but that version has burned in Dutch subtitles).Uncanny Antman said:Not to mention Ellison's lawsuit for The Terminator.

If it's the Image release, already checked.T-HOPE said:
...Hmmm, I still have the laserdisc in storage. I had forgotten about it. Might have to grab it at some stage to check.
Oops, sorry folks...Avatar!
