This week, Cameron responded to the filmmaker. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, was asked about the comments Emmerich made, specifically in calling Cameron overbearing.
The legendary filmmaker said that he’d never had anything negative to say about Roland, but confirmed that he was overbearing, especially on a project he helped write. “I’ve never said anything negative about Roland. But anyway: Yes, I’m overbearing.
Damn right,” said Cameron. “When it’s a project where I’ve contributed to the writing, I might actually have an opinion on it. I actually don’t even remember talking to Roland Emmerich about Fantastic.
I remember the other directors that we worked with for months on end trying to develop that project. If I talked to Roland, it was for two minutes. I have a pretty good memory and I don’t remember that at all.
” The director wouldn’t comment on whether or not the movie was still in development, however, choosing to move on in the interview. What do we know about the Fantastic Voyage remake?
