After the release of The Abyss (1989) (featuring the infamous pseudo-pod scene), director James Cameron felt he was ready to start working on this film. However, he knew that half of the film's rights were owned by Hemdale (producer of Terminator (1984)), which was going bankrupt and could no longer provide funding. While working on Atto di forza (1990) with Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna (owners of Carolco Pictures), Arnold Schwarzenegger learned of Cameron's intention to make the film, and it was he who urged Kassar and Vajna to buy the rights from Hemdale. Finally, they bought them in February 1990, and Cameron would only start work the following month.
