The “Alien” franchise is a collection of bizarre behind-the-scenes stories that nearly saw Sigourney Weaver miss out on the three sequels for various reasons. But James Cameron has revealed that when he originally wrote “Aliens,” with the help of longtime producers Walter Hill and David Giler, he thought the actress was attached to the sequel.

Even 25 years after the original release of “Titanic,” it’s hard to separate Leonardo DiCaprio from his role as Jack Dawson. DiCaprio’s Hollywood star was already rising in the mid-’90s, but James Cameron‘s film was the actor’s breakout role.
