I hate the WGA, they are just an evil money hungry cult, and I don’t think writers should join it or should have to join it, whatever the case is, to make it big as a writer.

Props to independent writers who don’t put them selves threw this crap.

my question is how do we know if this is completely true…maybe it would just sound cooler if his brother was the writer….maybe he really didnt do shit…most of this is just speculations…and like i said having nolans brother writing will make people think it has more credibility IMO…but if he did write a lot then the WGA is lame.

I think there was some dispute as to actually owned the rights, right around the time before T3 got started. It was between camereon and his old partner, I forgot her name. am i wrong?

Does James Cameron get any royalties from the Terminator franchise? I read somewhere that Linda Hamilton got them in their divorce settlement.

But Jim “Cam” does not own the Terminator franchise and has no say in who does what with it. They could have the Epic Movie guys write and direct a Terminator movie and he could do nothing about it. He has no right to give away.

As for Nolan. His contribution was the reason Bale came aboard in the first place so he should get credit. Now do we know if he gets a “additional writing” credit or nothing at all?

That suck he did not write the whole thing DK was good Rise of the MAchines made me want to kick Jim CAM in the balls for giving them the right write it.

And JIM CAM is on of my favorite directors.

Also, don’t be so naive with your last statement, John. If every writer who had everything to do with every script was on every credit roll, it would be absolutely absurd and you know it.

I asked Nolan about this myself and he said he worked on it in the early stages, nothing more. I think McG pumped that soundbyte everywhere because Nolan (at the time of the set visit that spawned the quote) was a “name” writer.

I wonder if on IMDB they will list him under WRITERS and put (uncredited) next to his name! lol

I always find that amusing on IMDB, since they are giving CREDIT to someone uncredited.

It should say (uncredited -until now)

That’s weird. He’s credited on the cardboard poster stands.
