Watch the Sandman Fan Film That Earned Neil Gaiman’s Stamp of Approval

James Cameron Is Coming Back to Terminator Because the World Caught Up To His Ideas

The Terminator franchise helped launch James Cameron’s career to a level few other filmmakers dream of. However, after his first two films in the franchise, he walked away—mostly due to complicated rights issues—and the subsequent sequels suffered for it.
