By mid 1992, the press for Terminator 2: Judgment Day started to finally fade out, although T2 will still remain a focus of numerous articles from time to time after that.
Here is a very rare and hard to find magazine, On Production from May/June 1992 which features a great and now obscure interview with Jim Cameron and some rare photos of him in his office with Terminator props.
The interview is 2 and a half pages long, but covers some interesting topics. The introduction is highly praiseful of Cameron, calling his films ""heart-thumping" and his scripts "gripping". Cameron talks about topics that were at some point covered, but goes deeper into some of them. He once again reiterates the story about how the T-1000 was a part of the original Terminator story back in '82, but there wasn't any technology available back then or the budget available to execute it: "But there was no way of realizing those images back then, so I had to put the storyline in a drawer until the techniques matured". Sounds familiar? Yes, it is indeed also what happened with his Avatar scriptment in 1995.
Cameron also talks again about how grueling the T2 shoot was, about how special effects aren't enough without a great story, and how how the post production was on T2 at Skywalker Ranch.
He does mention something no one has before or after, is that for the first Terminator movie, not only did he drew the storyboards, designed the machines and every body part of the endoskeleton, but he also designed the flesh damage on the Terminator.
Jim also explains very well the hurdles of making a sequel, and for the first time he does say there is a chance for T3, perhaps a seed to his incentive to redesign the Universal attraction into an actual movie sequel few years later. He also goes deep about his criticism of the sequel to Rambo
