James Cameron owns up to the issues with Terminator: Dark Fate
James Cameron admits his team got "high on our own supply" while making 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate

James Cameron is known for many things, one of them being his impervious confidence in his own abilities as a filmmaker. Look no further than the current Avatar: The Way Of Water press tour for examples. Yet Cameron’s not blind to reality, and he’s willing to accept a setback if it comes—already, he sketches for Deadline possible outcomes for the Avatar series if the second installment doesn’t do as well as he thinks. (“But I don’t like to think in terms of failure, I like to think in terms of success.”)
Such was the case for Terminator: Dark Fate, a film that Cameron did not direct but produced and collaborated on the story. Speaking with the outlet, Cameron says he’s “actually reasonably happy with the film,” but he’s willing to take some responsibility for the notorious box office bomb. The issue, as he sees it, is he’s just too darn loyal.
