The T-1000 is one of the items on my "do not want" list.
What's interesting is that Arnold at first was unsure of the Terminator script ...
Arnold: "Ivan, this script ... is pretty weird ..."
Director Ivan Reitman: "Yeah, perfect for you."
After getting paid, Arnold bought an office building in LA. After a few more films and buildings, he was a billionaire, married into the Kennedy family, and became Governor of California, a stepping-stone to becoming President (had he been a born-American.)
It all started with a weird film script.
And back to the topic of materials, Arnold is literally a self-made man ... all of the Mr. Olympias trained themselves.
- lamchob 7y agoA little correction: Arnold was a real estate millionaire before he started doing movies. You can read/hear about it in the Tim Ferris Podcast/Tools of Titans book.
- loch-jaw 7y agoA big correction: Director Ivan Reitman That director worked with Arnold on other movies, but isn’t associated with Orion or James Cameron or Dino De Laurentis, which was producing the Conan movies that Arnold was also working on at the time. Ivan Reitman was doing comedies at the time (1984), and didn’t work with Arnold until 1988. Considering Ivan Reitman shot his movies on location in New York, while James Cameron was producing his movies on the west coast, it’s fairly certain the entire comment is completely ficitious.
