#movie #show #cinema #shorts #facts #actors * * There was a lot of animosity on the ALIENS (1986) set. The British crew was openly hostile to both James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd. In their eyes, Cameron was a nobody who had not made a decent film yet (as they hadn’t seen THE TERMINATOR (1984)), while they openly mocked Hurd by claiming she only got to be producer because she was married to Cameron and that they wouldn’t take orders from a woman. Cameron and Hurd, in turn, despised the crew’s lazy, insolent, and arrogant behavior; one of their few allies among them was production designer Peter Lamont. After the long and difficult shoot, Cameron addressed the crew by saying that one thing kept him going through it all: “The certain knowledge that one day I would drive out of Pinewood and never come back, and that you sorry bastards would still be here“. Cameron indeed never came back to Pinewood Studios, but he later hired Lamont as production designer on TRUE LIES (1994), and even got him out of retirement to work on TITANIC (1997).
