Mostow: One of the difficulties of the time line is actually a result of a casting choice that (James) Cameron made.
Mostow: Yeah, that was interesting because when I… you know, because I didn't originate this, Jim Cameron created this thing, so it was about a two month curve for me, as I had to sort of really get my head into it and figure out what is the story I really wanted to tell.
