James Cameron Cut Out 10 Minutes of ‘Avatar 2’ Gun Violence Because It Made His Stomach Sick

“I look back on some films that I’ve made and I don’t know if I would want to make that film now. I don’t know if I would want to fetishize the gun, like I did on a couple of Terminator movies...What’s happening with guns in our society turns my stomach." https://t.co/QyO53fCarW

Also the Whalers on the Moon sequence was way too fucking long and those people seemed way too happy to be killing space whales. Space whales! That scene lasted way too fucking long.

That’s unfortunately our reality though. I thought that was the whole point of the scene. It brought awareness to those fucking dolphin hunters for „tradition““ ever year again

"If I were to do another 'Terminator' film and maybe try to launch that franchise again, which is in discussion, but nothing has been decided, I would make it much more about the AI side of it than bad robots gone crazy."

Wasn't there a scene where a [Spoiler (click to open)]guy's arm was chopped off by a wire or something? tbh even that shocked me. And there was too much of shooting going on as it is.

And it was in 3d. My sold out showing had a very loud reaction to that. By far the loudest of anything that happened in the movie.

And how much did that cost, James? How much money was left on the cutting room floor? I mean good for HIM but I wonder!
