I'm Matt Schreeder and this is a special bonus episode of Blockbuster.

Several years ago I had the privilege of meeting James Cameron himself for a film I directed

called Score of Film Music Documentary.

James had agreed to interview with us, so our small production crew drove down to Manhattan

Beach, California, the headquarters of Lightstorm Entertainment, and they let us set up in a giant

soundstage filled with props from all of his movies.

We saw the loader from aliens to enormous and extremely detailed models of the Titanic,

some of the Navi props from Avatar.

We were there to talk about the power of music in film, which Score covered extensively

in the documentary, but we also stumbled into several touching moments that weren't used

in the documentary.

Memories of his work and relationship with composer Jamie Horner.

Jamie Horner was an avid pilot his whole life.

He always loved flying and in June 2015 his plane crashed in the Los Padres National Forest

in Southern California.

He was 61 years old.

In our interview with James Cameron, he shared some of his fondest memories of his working

relationship with Horner, who we now call one of the greatest composers who's ever lived.

That interview and several of the stories about working with Jamie Horner right after this.

Well, you know, James was ambitious right from the get-go.

When I first met him, he had just scored a movie called Humanoids of the Deep, or Humanoids

from the Deep, maybe, for Roger Corman.
