So yes, as I’m sure you’ve heard, there’s a little indy motion picture coming out next month called “Avatar”. It apparently cost about the GNP of Canada to produce. In order to help ensure it’s success, the happy elves in the promotions dept of FOX are working feverishly, hammering out videos, images and probably a metric whack tonne of toys and other movies tie in’s.

New Avatar Picture Of Neytiri Released
Seems that an “Avatar” trailer is on my television every time I look up from my obsession with Stephen King’s “Under The Dome”. Despite seeing these trailers a bizillion times it still seems like I see something new in them every time, so piled full of vision is James Cameron’s Magnum Opus. Of particular interest is the female Na’ Vi, Netytiri. I’m crushing. Here’s a new pic from USA Today of her blue kitty fineness. Go buy your IMAX tickets now because “Avatar” hits theatres Dec 18th.
Avatar’s Latest Trailer Goes for the Kiddie Adventure Vibe
Apparently whoever is cutting the trailers for James Cameron’s “Avatar” got word from high up at 20th Century Fox that the first few trailers were too gosh darn serious, what with all the military occupation, political backstabbing, planet razing, and alien genocide-attemptin’ going on. The result: this new trailer, which sells the movie as a kiddie adventure film, ala some shitty Disney kids movie. You can’t really blame them for hedging their bets. The budget for “Avatar” has soared somewhere into the $250-$350 million dollar range (trying to get a fix on it is impossible at this point, with special effects not even finished yet), but word is by the time the P&A costs are added in, “Avatar” is going to cost the studio somewhere in the $500 million dollar range. Say it with me, now: “What recession?”
Avatar TV Spot Showcases The Battle
Here’s a nice and juicy 30 second trailer released to the wilds of T.V. land. Some footage I either haven’t seen or missed as I gawked at the pretty blue scenery or at the pretty blue girls. “Avatar” is on it’s way. I’ll see you there Dec 18th.
Video Behind The Scenes Look Of Avatar
Good old Nix just posted the international trailer for you and I’ll add this cool behind the scenes view of how “Avatar” was first imagined and then brought to the screen.
The New Avatar Trailer Arrives: Do You Still Care?
All that buzz, all that Comic Con gushing, it all went away when the first trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar” landed online three months ago with quite possibly the biggest THUD in modern cinema. Let’s face it, it was kind of underwhelming. It was overly cartoony and obviously CG and nothing about it screamed “best movie of the year”. So has that changed with this second trailer? Judge for yourself.
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.
Inside The Mind Of James Cameron During The Filming Of Avatar
James Cameron is a curmudgeonly old sod. He made parts of “Titanic” in the northern wastes of Canada here where I live and tales are still told of his, ah, uneven nature. Such a thing is confidence. It’s my belief that no great art is ever made, in any medium, if you listen to anyone elses opinion. It has to come free and unfiltered.
New Pictures From James Cameron’s Avatar
Some nice new pics here from “Avatar” for you. Very pretty. I can’t see how people think this looks like a video game. Maybe they have graphics cards I’ve never seen before. Maybe Pixar made. Below you will see the full assemblage. On display is a very pretty blue female alien (with tail), crazy looking aerial combat and plain old humans looking at display screens with great consternation.
Hitler is Not a Fan of Cameron’s Avatar
Is there anyone who WASN’T disappointed by the first trailer for Cameron’s “Avatar”? After all the hype, all the Comic Con reports, all the media falling to their knees after seeing the footage months earlier… Man, I expected more.
The trailer’s here in case you’re one of the 20 people in the world who still hasn’t seen it.
Some Cool New Avatar Shots Including Sigourney Weaver As A Blue Skinned Na’vi
From Marketsaw comes several new shots of the blue skinned Na’vi. Nice closeups here. Very real looking creatures. Of particular note is Sigourney Weaver alongside her Avatar, which looks interestingly very much like her.
Cool stuff. Avatar opens in Dec and man that seems a long long way away. Thanks Aintitcool.
New Pic Of James Cameron And The Boys From Avatar
The floodgates are open now on new stuff from “Avatar”, coming soon to your local 3D loving theatre. Here we have a nice image of the fellas as a captive audience for the director, James Cameron, as he perhaps cues them on the proper terror face appropriate to what looks like a dropship scene.
Got $1200? Buy Avatar’s AMP Suit Maquette
James Cameron’s “Avatar” is easily the most heavily anticipated sci-fi movie in God knows how many years (or decades). And if you really dug the trailer for the movie, you’ll probably want this “Avatar” AMP suit maquette. It’s a scaled down version of the AMP suit built for the movie that is featured prominently in the trailer. It’ll be available by the second quarter of 2010 according to Sideshow Collectibles, and will cost you a whopping $1199.99. Basically, $1200.
