Avatar Featured On 60 Minutes
Mon, November 23, 2009 Last night’s episode of 60 Minutes was watched by 16 million people. Could that be due to a segment dedicated to James Cameron’s Avatar? Possible, but highly unlikely. The television newsmagazine has been a staple on our screens since the late 1960s and continues to pack quite the punch in the never-ending battle for truth, justice and ratings domination.
The 12 minute piece pertained to next month’s high-stakes (for 20th Century Fox, at least) sci-fi epic, the career of its writer/director one Mr. James Cameron and its potential impact on the market with its use of 3-D technology. You can enjoy the segment in its entirety on the official 60 Minutes website or embedded below.
To their credit, this doesn’t devolve into a puff piece for the movie. Since the network is owned by Viacom and Avatar is coming our way via Fox, which was never going to be an issue. We’ve all known the story of O.J. Simpson in Terminator casting story for years, but it’s especially funny to hear it coming out of Cameron’s mouth (i.e. “I didn’t think he’d go kill his wife!”)
Tell us what you really think there, Jim.
