George Lucas -- whom Cameron had to talk into being interviewed -- is among the participants on the six-part documentary series that also features Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Sigourney Weaver, Christopher Nolan, Will Smith and Arnold Schwarzenegger. “We did two percent of what we could talk about so we had to balance each hour,” says Cameron. “And one might criticize that it’s a little bit too much of present-day pop culture but that’s our portal for the average viewer. We’re hoping to cast a broader net than just literary sci-fi fans.” ALSO: There isn’t a ton of new info here for well-versed sci-fi fans.
