James Cameron has revealed that there were creative clashes behind the scenes on Terminator: Dark Fate that caused (metaphorical) 'blood on the walls'. Jeez.
The co-creator of the Terminator franchise acted as a producer on the new sequel, and has admitted there was drama behind the scenes.
"I would say many [disagreements]," he said (via CinemaBlend). "And the blood is still being scrubbed off the walls from those creative battles. This is a film that was forged in fire. So yeah, but that's the creative process, right?
"I mean, my work with Robert [Rodriguez] on Alita was very different. Robert loved the script, loved everything, said, 'I just want to make this movie. I want to make the movie the way you see it'. I was like, 'No, you got to make it your movie.'
"I had the reverse experience with [director] Tim [Miller], which is Tim wanted to make it his movie. And I'm like, 'Yeah, but I kind of know a little about this world'. So I had the matter and the anti-matter version of that producorial experience."
Well, it seems the fire forging paid off as Dark Fate has been well-received, and could even set up a new trilogy in the franchise.
