Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto®. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class.

Two outback favorites, together at last. Hurry in. its only here till august 2nd whitaker good evening. Im bill whitaker. Welcome to 60 minutes a night at the movies. We begin with a look at the director behind this past years biggest blockbuster star wars the force awakens. Its the first new star wars in a decade, and the first to be made without creator george lucas. Nearly four years ago, lucas sold his empire to the Walt Disney Company for 4 billion. Enter j. J. Abrams, the director handpicked to reignite the fan fervor, and who as we reported last december was under tremendous pressure to make sure disneys big bet pays off. Hes been called the Steven Spielberg of his generation, and we learned spielberg helped get him the job. When abrams took us behind the scenes, we found a 49yearold man fueled by a childlike enthusiasm for the magic of movies, and a movie thats going to hit some classic star wars notes. Six weeks before the premiere, we dropped in on a hollywood scoring session for the force awakens. Composer John Williams, who won an Academy Award for the first star wars film, was back, along with the iconic refrain he wrote 38 years ago. Take a look behind williams. Thats not some awestruck groupie. Thats the movies director, j. J. Abrams. I saw you up here with your video camera, taking. J. J. Abrams oh, well, this is. This is, like, momentous, you know John Williams conducting his star wars music. I mean, as a fan, i cant even believe i get to be here. Whitaker abrams saw star wars when he was 11, and never outgrew his passion for the film. On this day, when he wasnt in the middle of the orchestra, filming on his phone, he was racing around the soundstage, here the fan. John williams do you think it could work . Abrams let me just think. Yeah. Its incredible. Whitaker . There the director. Abrams we may need to make the bumbadabada. Repeat those bars just because it might be a little bit longer before we get into the interior of the transport. Whitaker i see you running around. I mean, youre very. Abrams really . Ive. Ive felt so calm today. Whitaker yeah. This is you, calm . Abrams really, this is me, oh, god. Whitaker this is you, calm . Abrams yeah. Whitaker is it intimidating, in any way . Abrams uh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Its. There are moments of just abject terror, as to what. What were all taking on. Whitaker what hes taking on is this the force awakens. Disney is counting on abrams to expand the universe of star wars fans, while staying true to george lucas original vision. And the diehard fans their expectations are out of this world. The force its calling to you. Whitaker when the official trailer was posted online, it was viewed 112 million times in just 24 hours. Nothing will stand in our way. Whitaker talk about the force. The fans are a force to be reckoned with, and its intense. Abrams it is. Whitaker its not just the fans here; this is global. Abrams its not the movie. Its a. Its. Its bigger than all of us. Its a. Its almost a religion for people. Whitaker what grabbed you about star wars . Abrams the experience of it was so profound and so moving and so funny and so sweet that, for me, as a kid, it blew my mind. And it was just. It said, anything is possible. Whitaker abrams has been working on the force awakens nonstop for three years. Hes managed to keep a tight lid on it. This is one of the few clips disney has released. He told us his movie is set about 30 years after return of the jedi, the final film in the first trilogy. At the end of that movie, the good guys had vanquished the empire and subdued the dark side. Or so it seemed. What has been going on in that galaxy . Abrams return of the jedi seemed to end pretty happily. But the walk off to the sunset is always a misleading thing, because, well, then what . And so, one of the things that i think you see in this movie is that things didnt just end happily, and that the idea of the force both the dark and the light side are at a classic star wars place, which is in a desperate moment. Whitaker a moment which forces a new generation to step up. Finn we cant outrun them. Rey we might in that quad jumper. Whitaker stepping into a lead role 23yearold newcomer daisy ridley. Her character is rey, a desert scavenger. John boyega is another new face. He plays finn, a disillusioned stormtrooper. Finn ive got nothing to fight for. Whitaker your universe seems to be a more diverse place, by gender . By race . Abrams mmhmm. Whitaker what do you think the impact of that is going to be . Abrams when we started casting the movie, it felt incredibly important to me that the movie look like the world in which this movie is being released. Whitaker abrams didnt just direct the movie; he wrote it with lawrence kasdan, who wrote two of the original star wars with lucas. Abrams knew from the start he would tell a story that blended the new with the old. Taking his cue from the first trilogy, he made authenticity paramount, shooting in farflung locales, like this desert in abu dhabi. The sets were built from scratch; the explosions were real. Were there times when you stepped back from being the director and you were just the fan on the set . Abrams it was very hard to be in the 125degree heat in abu dhabi with actual stormtroopers running through this village that we had built, and not have moments constantly of holy. What the. . You know, i cant believe im here. It was constantly happening, and i had to suppress that and say, yep, okay, lets do it, and, like, put that away, because the job was not to be a wideeyed fan boy. The job was to be the director of the movie. Energy and action whitaker as the director, he managed a cast and crew of almost 1,000. He set limits on Computer Generated imagery. Most of abrams creatures, like the new droid bb8, were crafted by hand, including his own. Abrams we knew we had to have a hero droid that was not a familiar one. Whitaker and you came up with a concept, like, by sketching it out . Abrams i drew the dumbest little thing. I just. I drew something like. Like this. Whitaker he gave his sketch to the creature department, a group of about 100 artists and designers. They made a puppet. Abrams and the puppeteer came out with bb8, and he was moving around. And it was, like oh, my god, it lives. Rey where do you come from . Whitaker we watched as abrams worked on a scene where the droid meets rey for the first time. Abrams maybe we could connect them so its not so separate. Mmhmm. Whitaker so hes going to fit the pantheon r2d2, c3po. Now, bb8. Abrams from your mouth, sir. From your mouth, sir. I dont. I. I hope so. Whitaker only a handful of people have seen the finished film. One of them is abrams wife of 19 years, katie mcgrath. They have three children, a Charitable Foundation she oversees, and a harry met sally rapport. Katie mcgrath i love the movie. I really love the movie. And im sort of picky, and im a little, you know. Abrams brutally. Brutally honest. Mcgrath im. Im honest. And at the end of the day, its a movie. You know, this is not curing cancer. This is not eradicating poverty. This is. This is making a movie, right . Right . Thats what you believe, right . Abrams im sorry, she lost me after, this is just a movie. I was like. Whitaker Jeffrey Jacob abrams grew up in hollywoods backyard, not far from the big studios. But when he took a tour of a movie back lot at age eight, he knew hed found his calling. What in particular drew you to it . Abrams i think the thing that was so cool is the whole thing felt like a magic trick, that it was. It was every aspect of illusion, of creating something that seemed like it was actual. Actually happening and real. Whitaker he picked up the familys home movie camera and tried his own sleight of hand. Now, we seek revenge whitaker he admits his earliest works werent that good. But he got better. He won a teen Film Festival and got written up in the los angeles times. Thats him in the middle. The article caught the eye of Steven Spielberg. He reached out to the young filmmaker, who reminded him of himself. Today, spielberg is abrams friend, collaborator, and a big fan. What first struck you about him . Steven spielberg he just reminded me of a cartoon character that was so full of Magnetic Energy and ideas coming out of him, sometimes just, like, sparks flying in all directions. He was just absolutely, deliriously, madly in love with the film business and with making movies. Whitaker the kid in abrams is on display at bad robot, his santa monica production company. He says this quirky place is a grownup version of his childhood bedroom with toys, an art area, and a place for special effects. Here, about 90 employees churn out a constant stream of movies, tv shows, video games, and apps. Abrams stage manages it all. Hes kind of, like, all over the place. Is it difficult . Mcgrath i dont even try. It can give you a bit of a complex if. That you dont have enough hobbies in your life, but he. Whitaker youre. Youre not doing enough. Mcgrath no, no. And im doing plenty, by the way. But this is a whole other ballgame. You know, he. Abrams im right here, guys. Mcgrath i know. This is so weird. Abrams bill, its like sixth sense. Bill, katie. Whitaker but its good energy. Mcgrath no, its great energy, actually. Whitaker he sold his first screenplay in college. He went on to write or cowrite five more movies, including the blockbuster armageddon. He made several tv shows. The cult hit lost, about plane crash survivors on a mysterious island, won him two emmys. Youre going to be okay, do you understand me . Abrams cut. That was awesome whitaker after that, his rousing remakes of flagging franchises Mission Impossible and star trek grossed more than 1 billion worldwide and earned abrams the reputation as the remake king. He found himself in a financially lucrative but creative rut. He decided to move on from sequels. Then, fate in the form of a conversation between Steven Spielberg and star wars producer Kathy Kennedy changed his destiny. Spielberg and i just said, kathy, theres only one director that really should undertake this daunting, epic task, and thats j. J. Abrams. Whitaker his daunting task to justify disneys 4 billion investment, plus the estimated 200 million it cost to make the movie. Wall street would be disappointed with anything less than 1. 5 billion at the box office. Whats going on in his head right now . Spielberg oh, j. J. Is terrified. Theres a lot of pressure on j. J. To start paying disney back for, you know, the franchise they bought from. From george lucas. Abrams you just know that there will be people, no matter what you do, that will have issues with some aspect. You just know that there is some number that is being thrown out there that will not be hit. You just know. Whitaker fans snapped up more than 50 million in advance tickets. In hollywood, they started lining up outside the theater a week before opening. The force seems to be with abrams. Mcgrath hes got a long way to go, still, for what hes potentially able to do, in my opinion. Abrams thank you. Whitaker you think hes got another gear in his filmmaking . Mcgrath i hope so. You better. Were running out of sequels. Right, babe . Come on. Isnt. Thats enough what do you do after star wars . Whitaker whether the force Awakens Soars or disappoints, j. J. Abrams is ready for this allconsuming threeyear rocket ride to be over. Abrams i said to someone recently, its like ive had the greatest. In this movie, ive had the. The greatest roommate ever for too long. Like, its just time for him to move out. He just. He needs to get his own place, and i just need to figure out, you know, whats next. Whitaker the force awakens ended up soaring to record heights. It became the topgrossing film in u. S. Box Office History and, just seven and a half weeks after opening, blasted past the 2 billion mark worldwide. Cbs money watch update sponsored by lincoln financial. Youre in charge.

Whitaker if you dont remember Michael Caine as alfie in the 1960s, you might have seen him in dirty Rotten Scoundrels in the 80s, or more recently as alfred the butler in the batman movies. He has been in so many films, theres no official count, though he says its nearly 180. Hes been nominated for an Academy Award in every one of the last five decades. As leslie stahl reported in december, at 82, Michael Caine can still make hollywood take notice of his acting, this time for his role in the movie youth. Leslie stahl youth is set in the swiss alps. Michael caine plays fred ballinger, a retired, celebrated composer and conductor who has turned his back on music. But he cant help finding it everywhere. cow lows it was a part written specifically for him. Michael caine it was the most surprising offer ive ever had in my life.
