James Cameron<\/a><\/strong> was on 60 Minutes<\/a> over the weekend where he discussed his career and the upcoming Avatar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look out for the bit around the 9 minute mark when he discusses The Terminator<\/a> and the original studio’s choice for the main role.<\/p>\n

“The head of Orion, who were gonna release the film, called me up and said, ‘Are you sitting down? I’ve cast this movie’. I was at a party, and it’s, ‘are you sitting down? It’s O.J. Simpson for the Terminator!’<\/p>\n

And I said, ‘This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard,’ you know. I didn’t know O.J. Simpson, I had nothing against him personally. I didn’t know he was gonna go murder his wife later and become the real Terminator”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are also some other web extra videos which didn’t make the broadcast edit.<\/p>\n
