Jim Waitt withe evolution of the Lux ipany. He had firmed three iations with Warner regarding the drawings of young Billy Carson. He saw the pany expanding to multiple locations, and though nothing was firmed yet, there seemed to be an iing e with Pixar, one of the more plex fronts for the pany's development.

  What stood out the most were the retionships with the video game pany and their colboration with he NBA's team collectible cards had caused a sensation with their artistic designs and unique approach. It was no wohat the NBA retly hired some desigo release their cards year.

  -James, I've done everything possible to deal with the pensation flict with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's demanding a sary of 10 million, seeing the potential to make money from your enthusiasm for making movies. The produ of the film has already started, and they insist on a high sary, - said Jim Waitt.

  -How strong is the iation? What exactly is Iional Creative Ma (ICM) proposing for Arnold's participation in the movie? - asked James.

  The battle between CAA and ICM has been quite intense. Both agencies want to get a share of the market, and the recruitment and poag of big stars is nothing new in talent representation panies.

  -Yes, apparently, they are still finalizing the new movie, Kínder Corp. They are aiming to release it in early 1991 or te 1990. The exact date hasn't been agreed upon, but I believe it will be part of the Christmas box office, - Jim Waitt replied.

  -So, it's a busy schedule. I 't wait any longer. tact Dolph Luhe tall European has the right features for the T-800 model. It will be beneficial to have him, and his sary should be retively low. 2 million should be enough for his involvement, provided he performs his stunts. He use a double, but you know I prefer when they do their takes, - said James.

  -I've already tacted him, iated for a price of one and a half million dolrs,- said Jim Waitt. -Although I'll ask him about the stunt ses.-

  -Ah, Jim, I wasn't aware you had moved ahead with that. Well, I need him by the end of month. Let's abandon the iations; we already have most of the cast chosen, and Dolph Lundgren fill Arnold's role,- said James Cameron.

  Inside, he mented losing the cast he had in mind. Arnold is a good friend and a fantastic a star, but the movie es first. Regarding the is at stake in Hollywood, ICM, and CAA have a certain rivalry, fighting for every bit of money. With Arnold itted to the film until winter, only money could tempt him to do the movie.

  -Very well, any news about the swriter? - James asked.

  -You mean young Billy Carson, - Jim said, tapping his fingers.

  -Yes, the kid,- replied James.

  -Now, he's part of CAA's roster, as one of our pany members. I'm representing him myself. Due to his age, I haven't actively pursued some roles for him, but in two or three years, he should be ready to ehe field,- said Jim.

  -You signed him,- excimed James Cameron, raising his voice over the phohe intern poked his head out of his office. The building was located at the Fox studio, due to James Cameron's es with the pany.

  -That's right. He's a magnifit young talent with a lot of potential. Believe it or not, he's quite an actor. I spoke with his father about his ag abilities, and he said that Billy's skills are impressive and improving every day. At first, I didn't believe him, but Mr. Carson and his so people who joke around,- said Jim Waitt, feeling somewhat nostalgic about the versations he has had with the Carsons.

  -If you have a cameo for Terminator, that would be nice, - Jim Waitt said jokingly.

  -Unfortunately, I don't have one, but I get him some with my good friends at Fox. I have a longstandiionship with the pany, - James Cameron replied with ughter in his voice.

  -I'd have to discuss it with Billy. Right now, he's focused on finishing high school and w on publications with his pany Lux ics, so I 't interfere with his decisions. But it would be good for him to participate in some cameos to hone his on-camera skills, - said Jim, speaking on behalf of both James Cameron and Billy Carson.

  -Ah, Jim, I'm still surprised by your decision to sign the boy. Now I'm even more curious about his ag abilities, - said James. - Take him to film some ercials where they need extras. Let him immerse himself in the world of produages. -

  -All good ideas. He's currently taking ag and at csses. I hope that when he's done, he'll e to Los Angeles and attend a proper ag academy, - said Jim.

  -That's probably the best course of a. I don't see many promising young actors. There are some good ones, but noo have the potential to bee great actors,- said James.

  -Give them time, James. Ag is not easy, and I believe there are hidden talents out there; it just takes a few years to discover them,- replied Jim.

  -You could ask Michael Orvitz to help. He has a great retionship with Universal, eveer than my retionship with Fox. Getting some auditions wouldn't be a big problem for him,- suggested James, thinking about one of the most powerful agents in all of Hollywood, with numerous iial friends in the industry. He has strong es in the Golden Circle.

  -I thought about that. He retly asked me about your movie. Spending 90 million is no joke for a's breaking all records with the hefty sum of mohey've ied in this film. Caralco Films is taking a big risk, - said Jim.

  -Don't be surprised, Jim. After all, it's my movie that will take ter stage, and I'll break the box office when it's released, - said James Cameron, with pride in his voice.

  -With the value of that box office, you'll least 200 million for it not to be a total loss, - said Jim.

  -Oh, I'll surpass that. I already have everything perfectly detailed in my head. The storyline of the movie will be sensational. Although I'll need some help ter on with advertising, I feel rejuvenated. If you've got everything sorted with Dolph, send it to me week. He has to prepare properly for the film, - said James.

  -I'll close the deal ter; I might arrive early to say hello, - said Jim. - There have been rumors about your enter with Linda Hamilton. Is there anything I should be ed about? - Jim asked.

  -Darn... the press is detestable. We had a fling, but nothiravagant. I'm not twenty anymore; I'm not up for rebellious romances, - said James.

  -Alright, I'll arrange some things to cover any rumors. A reporter from Variety owes me a few favors, - said Jim.

  -For now, it's not necessary. I don't mind some rumors cirg. The press needs something to make a living, save those favors for when they have some real trouble, - James replied, c the microphone.

  -Kid, ect me with the producers when you're doell them I have a perfect rept for Arnold's role, - said James Cameron.

  -Yes, sir. I'll start right away, - murmured James Cameron's youary.

  -Let it be so, - said Jim. - I've got some things to take care of. I'll let you know as soon as Dolph's agent responds. -

  -Sure, have a good day, Jim, - said James.
