A New, Lengthy Avatar Trailer To Arrive In Front Of Movies This Weekend

I love going to movies but one of the things that always gets me is when I’m seeing a movie I want to watch but am not thrilled to see and a trailer that looks awesome and better than the movie I’m about to watch crashes my party.

This might be the case this weekend as “Avatar” is getting a juicy new trailer providing some serious competition for whatever film might be following it. Coming Soon says it’ll clock in at 3 minutes and 30 seconds of presumably awesome. Apparently this will be the trailer of note, showcasing more story elements, crazy action, etc. It will not be in 3D though from the looks of it. We won’t be getting the trailer ourselves for a few days after and I know it’ll be great but don’t even think of judging this movie based on a snapshot 2D view. This puppy was made for huge screen digital or IMAX.

Avatar takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads an epic battle to save a civilization. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of Titanic, first conceived the film years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, Avatar delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

“Avatar” stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Peter Mensah, Laz Alonso, Wes Studi, Stephen Lang and Matt Gerald and opens wide, wide, wide on Dec 18th.
