Very fascinating; however, it was very vague as to the actual details of the picture, still it got me excited about December 18.

Note: $400+ million for a movie? Good God!! If the story and acting matches the visuals, this film will have no problem making a profit. I'm predicting $700 million. Add that $300 million profit to the DVD and Video game returns and you've got a hit movie.

Love it. But Morley Safer is such a hilarious person to have explain Avatar to the public.

'Ya see, these big blue things are the Nah-vees, and they're completely made in these big supercomputers that James Cameron invented, see?'

if he pulls this off, this thing is going to be huge

Well, the $400mil for the movie is both the production & the marketing, as Morley Safer specified. So it isn't as much as we think it is, because we're so used to hearing the production budget only. Think: "Prince Caspian" cost $225mil to make, but when you add in marketing ($175mil), it cost $400mil in all. So basically, "Avatar" cost as much to make & market as "Prince Caspian."

Doesn't sound so expensive anymore, does it?

Oddly, the thing that stuck out most during this profile was his comment on OJ. Wowsa.

"Tails are cool"

I larfed.
