Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: If you read the story that Ellison alleges he stole, it's bizarre

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I think the reason there was some teeth to it was that Cameron tried to buy it off him and Ellison said no and then Cameron made The Terminator anyway...? I forget and I'm too lazy to look it up. If you read "Soldier," it's just about a soldier that comes from the future where there are advanced weapons. There's nothing about a terminator or anything like that. It's just war is bad, and better weapons will make it worse. That is definitely not what <i>The Terminator</i> is about, they're practically unrelated. <i>Star Trek IV: The One With The Whales</i> is equally indebted to this short story, featuring as it does soldiers from the future that time travel to the present.[/quote]
