Exclusive: James Cameron Announces Global Avatar Day August 21, 2009
During the Avatar panel, which I am still drafting and will be up shortly for your enjoyment. i thought this little tidbit needed to go out first. James Cameron who understands his fans and the film audience globally in campaign to connect everyone in the world to his film and enjoy it has we have at Comic-Con they will be able to enjoy 15 minutes of footage on August 21, 2009 at as many Imax theaters and more, which will be announced at a later day.
It will be offically called Avatar Day as dubbed by Cameron. It will be globally and try and go to any IMAX theater in the world that will take them.
Pretty awesome I can tell you that Avatar is far better than the hype suggested. its going to evolve into something unbelievable.
Avatar is written by Cameron from an idea he nurtured for over a decade, while working on the technology necessary to realize its wholly imagined world. A return to the action adventure sci-fi genre that made him famous, Avatar is also an emotional journey of redemption and revolution. It is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival. It thus again combines the elements of massive spectacle and intimate character that made Titanic the highest grossing film of all time; a title it still holds by over three quarters of a billion dollars.
Australian Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation), a rising star who has been recognized by The Australian Film Institute and The Film Critics Circle of Australia, in his homeland from such work as Somersault and Dirty Deeds. Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, The Terminal, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl) will portray the local woman Jake first betrays, then loves. Both actors have signed on for possible future installments as well, as Avatar is conceived as a potential franchise.
Cameron mentioned in the announcement of the film’s production that the movie is “entire world, a complete ecosystem of phantasmagorical plants and creatures, and a native people with a rich culture and language. The story is both epic and emotional. The two things that make this film even possible are pioneering advances in CG effects and performance capture.”
