After what is no doubt a lot of time and energy spent on research, the boys at Adult Swim have gotten down to the nitty gritty and figured out just what is it exactly that made James Cameron’s “Avatar” such a must-see film. Was it the breakthrough 3D? The $300 million dollar CGI?
Check out the trailer for the “Avatar” Extended Collector’s Edition. In case you missed it, the full specs can be found here.
In a nutshell:
Oh, James Cameron, will you never stop trying to squeeze another buck out of us? Maybe one day, but this is not that day. Complete “Avatar” Extended Collector’s Edition cover art and specs below for your inspection. The super duper package arrives on DVD shelves November 16th 2010 from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Apparently James Cameron and 20th Century Fox are not through trying to squeeze another buck out of you, because they’ve just announced that “Avatar” will be getting a Special Edition DVD sometime in November that will come with 16 more minutes of extra footage not previously seen in the first DVD release or the theatrical re-release. That will give “Avatar” a whopping 171 total minutes.
Via the SamWorthingtonFansite, here are two scenes from the upcoming “Avatar” re-release, which will arrive back in theaters August 27th with nine new minutes not seen in the original theatrical release. More info on the re-release of “Avatar”, including International dates, here.
Can’t get enough of James Cameron’s “Avatar”? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. The film has already made, I believe, a few gazillion dollars at the theaters and on DVD, and I’m sure there’s nothing like watching the film in theaters with the big ol screen and such. Cameron and company probably realizes that, too, because they’re releasing a “Special Edition” version of the movie that comes complete with additional footage.
I guess having made a gazillion dollars means people really, really like watching you. Which is probably why, despite having cleaned up on DVD and Blu-ray, James Cameron and the boys at Twentieth Century Fox are re-releasing “Avatar” back into theaters as a “Special Edition” on August 27. Check out the trailer for the re-release.
What’s that old saying? The rich gets richer… Apparently the same people who saw James Cameron’s “Avatar” more than once at the theaters still couldn’t get enough blue people, because Cameron’s “Avatar”, released on DVD and Blu-ray April 22nd, broke every single DVD and Blu-ray record in the history of DVD and Blu-ray. Or thereabouts.
For all those people devastated that Pandora is not a real place and suicidal to learn that they won’t be growing elf ears and turning into a gigantic skinny smurf any time soon, you’ll be panting to know that a piece of Pandora is coming to you soon.
Obviously, the planning for “Avatar 2″ and 3 and etc, are well underway. Once you’ve hopped from tree to tree and run screaming through an alien jungle ( a rain forest is what it’s called only if you haven’t been in one) with speedy, tank like dinosaurs intent on pulverizing your most precious appendages, there’s really no point in belabouring the point.
Can’t get enough “Avatar”? Tired of wearing those goofy glasses at the theaters with other smelly people covered in blue paint? Well if you’re in the mood for some 2D blue people at home, you’ll get your chance when James Cameron’s gazillion dollar selling “Avatar” arrives on DVD and Blu-ray April 22, 2010 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Why April 22nd? That’s also Earth Day, of course. Press release from 20th Century Fox below.
Here’s a little odds and ends about the biggest moneymaker of all time, James Cameron’s “Avatar”. The LATimes has a “what if” article that says, according to Cameron himself, before he gave the role to Sam Worthington in “Avatar”, he actually offered Jake Sully up to Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal first, but both men turned him down.
MarketSaw is a great blog to visit if you’re into cutting edge 3D stuff. I’m not a big fan of 3D, but the site is also pretty good for scoops about upcoming interesting films. For instance, they were all over James Cameron’s “Avatar” from the very beginning, and it looks like they’ve gotten a toehold on the sequel as well. On the upcoming “Avatar” sequel, a source has told them that the film will be made “within 4 years”. And the plot?
By now (I hope) you’ve seen the wonderful and delicious review of “The Phantom Menace” by Mike from Milwaukee. In it, Mike expertly and hilariously surgically dissects “The Phantom Menace” and George Lucas in particular. After millions of views and a future promise to review more of the latest Star Wars trilogy, Mike is taking a bit of time off to review “Avatar”. It’s another wonderful piece of work. It’s a bit less elaborate but very funny and bang on. Obviously these reviews of Mikes take some time to do. Hard to pound one of these puppies out the week after a screening. More please.
You may or may not have heard by now, but James Cameron’s “Avatar” is doing pretty good at that there box office. I believe it could prove profitable for the studio, so let’s all cross our fingers that ol Jimmy boy gets to eat tonight. Anyways, if you’ve read the “Avatar” script (it was put online as a free download, get it here), you read the beginning, which was set on Earth and featured Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) getting into a fight at a bar before being promptly tossed out on his ass. Well here’s an image from that deleted scene, featuring Jake on his back as he’s approached by two MIBs with a proposition. Via I09.
