James Cameron

I have read and lean about James Cameron, Cameron was born in the small town of Kapuskasing in Ontario, Canada on August 16 1954. His father Phillip Cameron was an electrical engineer, and his mother Shirley Cameron was an artist. Cameron had several siblings, one of them; Mike would later become a great asset to Cameron when making his films. When Cameron started working on The Terminator the Aliens screenplay wasn't finished yet. Since David Giler and Walter Hill (the producers of Aliens) liked what they saw from the pages they had received from Cameron they decided to wait for him to complete the screenplay. After the success of The Terminator Hill and Giler suggested Cameron that he should direct the Aliens movie himself. Cameron thought a long time about it and finally agreed on the condition that Herd would be brought on as a producer. Cameron and Herd had gotten romantically involved during the making of The Terminator and they now decided to make it official. They were married just before the production of Aliens commenced. Cameron was offered writing jobs. He was offered two jobs the same day, not knowing which one he would let down he took them both. One of them was the screenplay called Alien 2 which would later be Aliens. The producers of Alien wanted to make a sequel to the 1979 hit Ridley Scott's Alien. Cameron wrote a more action oriented screenplay with a lot of tech stuff and soldiers on mission in outer space.
