James Cameron has great explainer on how he made "The Terminator" (1984) for cheap: ▫️approach the story as a low-budget horror slasher film  ▫️find areas with brightest street lights, to save money on lighting ("used car lots were great because they cast enough light from their floodlights onto the streets") ▫️the casting of Arnold (he hadn't really broken through yet and was only paid $75,000 which worked out to $1,293 per word) The horror approach also worked because they could shoot a lot of the film guerilla style (no permits) in dark alleyways and parking garages. Smartly, Cameron layered on the sci-fi backstory to make it higher concept (leading to the glorious T2 sequel). There were also a lot of indoor shots (apartment, store, bar) that didn’t need permits. At the time, 30-year old Cameron was living so frugally that his mom was sending him "2-for-1 Big Mac coupons" from McDonald's because she didn't think he was eating enough.  The film ultimately made $80 million globally on a $4.3 million budget, launching Cameron and Arnold's Hollywood careers.

The opening of TERMINATOR 2 cost more than the $6.4m budget of the entire first film.

This applies to everything now. Music, film, TV, sports. The gravitas is gone. And it’s not because the talent is lesser. Media is fragmented, and so, we rarely have shared moments — which create that feeling. Instead, everyone just exists in their own algorithmic feed.

There’s an interesting case study to be had about nothing in sports feeling legendary anymore. I don’t think it’s a nostalgia thing at all, I think it’s the rise of social media and accessibility so we move on from everything immediately.

James Cameron confirms ‘GHOSTS OF HIROSHIMA’ will be his next non-Avatar film. “I want to do for what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, what Steven Spielberg did with the Holocaust and D-Day with ‘Saving Private Ryan.'”
