Cameron of course directed Aliens, the 1986 sequel to Ridley Scott's ground breaking sci-fi thriller, which not only took the series into an action packed new direction, but earned star Sigourney Weaver an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Ellen Ripley.
Here is what Cameron, having just returned from his historic dive into the Mariana Trench to attend the premiere, had to say to the British press about his excitement to see Scott's highly anticipated upcoming return to the Alien universe.
"I’ll be there. I’ll be first in line for Ridley’s new film. The idea of Ridley coming back and doing another Alien film is every fan’s dream. And I was a fan of the first film so much that I wanted to do the second film, just kind of as a geek fan boy really. Everybody tried to talk me out of it: ‘It’s a no win deal. Anything good you do will be attributed to Ridley. And if its bad, it will be your fault.’ I said ‘Yeah but I wanna do it.'”You can check out the video interview below, where he also discusses the possibility of converting his other films into 3D, and what the current status is of the two planned sequels to Avatar.
