OJ Simpson Originally Considered for Terminator Role
James Cameron, the director of the soon-to-be-released flashy yet craptastic film Avatar, was interviewed by 60 minutes yesterday to discuss the upcoming film.
In the interview, James talks about sitting down with the head of Orion, who wanted famous football player and double murderer OJ Simpson to play the title role in The Terminator.
James Cameron stated:
“The head of Orion, who were gonna release Terminator, called me up and said, ‘Are you sitting down? I have cast this movie. I was at a party, and it’s OJ Simpson for the Terminator.’
And I said ‘This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.’ “
Can you imagine? Watching OJ Simpson appear naked in a blue light from the future, to hunt, stalk and attempt to brutally murder an innocent blond woman and her boyfriend?
Awkward.
Not to mention the fact that if Arnold Schwarzenegger hadn’t received the role of the relentless robot, California probably would not have such an excellent Governator now.
