Overview
- Cameron criticized Alien 3’s early decision to dispose of key figures from Aliens on Michael Biehn’s Just Foolin’ About podcast, calling it “the stupidest f–king thing.”
- He said Fincher was making his first feature and was steered by other voices, granting the director what he described as a free pass.
- Biehn concurred with Cameron’s view and alleged his likeness was used in Alien 3 without consent, saying he refused a large payout and rebuffed a personal call from Fincher.
- Cameron stated he is finished with the series, saying, “You couldn’t pay me enough money to go back to that franchise,” which he characterized as increasingly fan-driven.
- He offered brief appraisals of recent entries, praising Alien: Earth as “pretty good,” noting select moments he liked in Alien: Romulus, and criticizing aspects of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
