James Cameron talks about making "The Terminator" (1984) on a budget: ▫️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 $75K, 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). 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 $80m globally on the $4.3m budget, launching Cameron and Arnold's Hollywood careers. *** Cameron talks about all his films with Vanity Fair: youtube.com/watch?v=1Vjd6N…
