[quote=« Le Doc »]Pour la petite histoire, Bill Paxton, alors aspirant comédien qui arrondissait ses fins de mois en passant des couches de peinture sur les décors des films de Roger Corman, a bossé sur La Galaxie de la Terreur. Paxton sympathise rapidement avec Cameron, qui deviendra comme on le sait son cinéaste fétiche. Un soir, alors que les deux compères ne comptent plus leurs heures de boulot, Cameron raconte à Paxton le pitch du scénario qu’il est en train d’écrire : « C’est sur un cyborg qui voyage dans le temps pour tuer la femme qui donnera naissance à l’homme qui, dans le futur, mènera la rébellion contre les machines ». Et Paxton de demander « la vache…et comment tu vas appeler ça ? ». « Je vais appeler ça The Terminator », a répondu James Cameron.
And the rest is history, comme disent les américains.[/quote]

James Cameron rend hommage à son ami Bill Paxton, rencontré sur le tournage de La Galaxie de la Terreur produit par Roger Corman :
[quote]I’ve been reeling from this for the past half hour, trying to wrap my mind and heart around it. Bill leaves such a void. He and I were close friends for 36 years, since we met on the set of a Roger Corman ultra-low budget movie. He came in to work on set, and I slapped a paint brush in his hand and pointed to a wall, saying « Paint that! » We quickly recognized the creative spark in each other and became fast friends. What followed was 36 years of making films together, helping develop each others projects, going on scuba diving trips together, watching each others kids growing up, even diving the Titanic wreck together in Russian subs. It was a friendship of laughter, adventure, love of cinema, and mutual respect. Bill wrote beautiful heartfelt and thoughtful letters, an anachronism in this age of digital shorthand. He took good care of his relationships with people, always caring and present for others. He was a good man, a great actor, and a creative dynamo. I hope that amid the gaudy din of Oscar night, people will take a moment to remember this wonderful man, not just for all the hours of joy he brought to us with his vivid screen presence, but for the great human that he was.
The world is a lesser place for his passing, and I will profoundly miss him.[/quote]
