In 1978, James Cameron wrote the script for the movie “Xenogenesis” after reading the book “Screenplay” by British actor Syd Field. The script called for a 10-minute science fiction film on a 35mm reel.
During this time, he also started working on “Piranha II: The Spawning,” the sequel to “Piranha.” At first, he was in charge of the special effects, and then he was in charge of the whole movie.
Cameron was born in Canada, but he has lived in the U.S. since 1971. He tried to become an American citizen in 2004, but after George W. Bush was elected president, he took his application back.
