Arnold Schwarzenegger credited James Cameron for predicting future
The Terminator is the story where artificial intelligence turned deadly, as Arnold Schwarzenegger believed the present rise of the tech was predicted by James Cameron in his 1984 movie.
During a recent Q&A, the Fubar star said, “Today, everyone is frightened of it, of where this is going to go,” adding, “And in this movie, in ‘Terminator,’ we talk about the machines becoming self-aware and they take over.”
The Expendables actor added, “Now over the course of decades,
it has become a reality. So it’s not any more fantasy or kind of futuristic.
It is here today. And so this is the extraordinary writing of Jim
Cameron.”
Schwarzenegger also gushed over the other talents of
the Avatar director.
“He’s just such an extraordinary writer, and
he’s such an unbelievable director, this is again, one of those things that
I wish I could take credit for this movie. I can only take credit for the
character that I played and the way I played it. But I mean, he has created
this character.
He has written it so well, he’s written the movie so well, and
that’s why he is, you know, the number one director in the world.”
