Have you ever seen Terminator? Or even heard the phrase Hasta La Vista, Baby? Well, if you haven`t, you definitely should!
Terminator, a movie written and directed by James Cameron, has an outstanding legacy and a wealth of over 
1 and a shot in the director’s chair. He was offered large sums of cash for the script from studios who did not want to hire an unknown to direct, but he turned all the offers down. The Terminator was going to be directed by James Cameron or not at all.
The film came to be a major motion picture sucess, making Cameron rich and famous, but to this day, he still deeply regrets the decision of selling the rights to the film.
“I wish I hadn’t sold the rights for one dollar,” Cameron told the Toronto Sun. “If I had a little time machine and I could only send back something the length of a tweet, it’d be — ‘Don’t sell.’ ”
35 years after the first release, Cameron directed Terminator Genisys, the most recent sequel of the film which came out in 2019.
