For instance, I think the reason Sam Worthington was cast in Terminator: Salvation (edited: used to say Genisys or whatever they called it) was that James Cameron wanted to do him a solid after filming Avatar 1 so he could start getting some income while waiting for that sweet, sweet Avatar cash to start rolling in. Obviously, James Cameron can probably pull some strings with the Terminator franchise.
What about you all?
