And the last billion dollar gambler. Avatar just hit a billion sales. The man who rolled the dice has a New Year’s lesson for all of us in betting on yourself. From the global resources of ABC News, this is ABC World News with Diane Sawyer. And finally tonight, a big day for Hollywood’s last big gambler. We learned today that the movie Avatar has cracked a billion dollars worldwide at the box office. So what lesson does its director and creator James Cameron teach all of us about new boldness배짱 for the New Year? Dan Harris takes a look.
While there’s an enormous거대한 amount happening on screen in Avatar, I was struck by these oddly이상하게도 attractive blue aliens, the sweeping전면적인 battle scenes and the totally unsubtle현저한 liberal politics. There’s also a perhaps equally compelling강제적인 억지의 off-screen drama featuring the maverick독불장군의 controversial director James Cameron who has taken an extravagant사치스러운 risk at a time when many in Hollywood and in the country are retrenching긴축하다. He has made a roughly half billion dollar movie with no huge stars in 3D which most people associate with horror flicks공포영화 and kid’s movies.
And when we spoke to him a few weeks before release, he was understandably a little bit defensive about those who said it was too gimmicky속임수가 있는 to move large audiences. It is not the first time this 55-year-old five times married junior college dropout from Canada has taken on a huge risk.
Titanic ran so far over budget that Cameron offered to give up his directing and producing fees. And when it succeeded despite critics’ jabs찌르기, some thought he crowed환성을 지르다 a little bit too loudly. “I’m the king in the world.”
Avatar is following a similar story arc. Early reviews called it Dances with Wolves in space or Smurf Porn. But the movie is a huge success. It’s made a billion dollars worldwide. And it’s opening to the 1.3 billion people in China tonight. Cameron who puts on his own money into getting this project made recently told an interviewer, if you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will have failed above everyone else’s success. King of the world. And now the 1.3 billion Chinese?
