James Cameron’s mammoth undertaking “Avatar” is still a couple of years away from being anywhere near “releasable”, but the Fox studio has already decided to change the film’s release date from the original Memorial Day 2009 to December 18th, 2009, says Variety. For those keeping track of Cameron’s past works, this means “Avatar” will open in the same weekend as Cameron’s last film, 1997’s massive hit “Titanic”.

Is THIS what the aliens in James Cameron’s upcoming CGI-fest “Avatar” will look like? (thumbnail to the left, a bigger picture below) Maybe, and maybe not, says I Watch Stuff, who got the picture from Joblo.com. Apparently a spy took this shot and emailed it to the guys at Joblo, and from the looks of it, speculation is that the pic was taken with a cellphone’s camera. I don’t know if this is true, if it’s all crap, or what, but hey, since Cameron isn’t going to finish, or even REALLY get started on “Avatar” for another year or two, any news (regardless of how lame) is good news.
