At first we thought James Cameron was 100% on board with Terminator: Salvation, even though he had pretty much nothing to do with it. Then internet rumors led us to believe that Cameron wasn't OK with the movie after all. Now James Cameron is talking to AICN to set the record straight: He knows pretty much as much about the movie as you do, plus a little word-of-mouth from star Sam Worthington.

Even though McG offered to send Cameron a script, which is how he gave "his blessing" to begin with, Cameron hasn't read the script or seen the film at all. "I haven't seen a foot of film other than what everybody's seen in the trailer, which is not enough to form an opinion. So I have zero basis for supporting or dissing the film. As I said in an interview, for all I know it could be a masterpiece or it could be a big steaming pile."

Well, he knows a little more than he's letting on. "In fact, it might be very good, an opinion based solely on what Sam Worthington has shared with me. He's nobody's fool when it comes to material, and has absolutely the lowest bullshit quotient of anyone I know, and he has repeatedly told me that he reckons the film is going to be good."

So there you have it-- some dude is telling James Cameron the movie is probably good, a dude who has a huge stake in people coming out to see the movie. In fact, Cameron has a stake in it too-- Worthington will be seen in Salvation before his next role in Cameron's Avatar, which means Cameron benefits if Worthington becomes a huge star when Salvation is a hit. So yeah: No objective opinions here. Just a lot of people trying to make you see this movie, even if it is, as Cameron puts it, a stinking pile.
