James Cameron Says He Never Blessed Terminator Salvation

[Brian Damage]

For months, the foggy perception online has been that James Cameron gave McG’s Terminator Salvation his “blessing.” Where did the Internet come up with this rumor? Well, McG has stated the endorsement as fact in numerous interviews, including in this E! Comic Con video. Earlier this month, Cameron set the record straight, and what’s more, the question over a “blessing” was never raised. He personally brought it up.

“It could be a big steaming pile or it could be brilliant. Sam Worthington is in the Avatar and the new Terminator and he likes the script, but I never saw it. There was no blessing involved.”


“I’ve been given their blessing to make the picture…and if it’s a rated R picture, then that’s that.”
