James Cameron's "avatar"

[corby]

"Avatar" is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.



James Cameron has been working on this film for over 10 years and Weta is in charge of the special effects, they're using some of the most revolutionary new technology. Today was "Avatar Day". 15 minutes of footage from Avatar was shown in select 3D theatres across the country. Me and my brother were lucky enough to get to see the footage, and this movie looks amazing! The aliens looked like they were actually there. Weta has created astonishing results once again. They used a new kind of facial motion capture which is able to capture 100% of all movements on the face. The trailer doesnt even compare to what the footage looks like in 3D.

My brothers were pretty angry when I broke the news to them that it wasn't going to be based off of the show.

...which is based on an animated series ("Avatar: The Last Airbender") on Nickelodeon.



BTW, I just saw the Avatar trailer a couple of minutes ago on SyFy Channel and it just blew me away! Amazing visuals!

What? Avatar or The Last (overly caucasian cast) Airbender? Because Cameron's doing Avatar, not tlab.

I love the air vehicles and military tech.. they should put that stuff in a video game, it'd sell a million copies.

Well, Halo's always barrowed from cameron's art style, it's about time he returned the favour.

I believe most of the fire nation peoples are Indian... I dunno what you mean by "overly caucasian cast" considering the fire nation is the largest of the four...

 

[xalener]

How about "white" cast?

 

[Yodajammies]

Looks like a generic CGI circle jerk to me. :rolleyes You can't replace story with explosions and blue furless ewoks and expect to get a good movie.





And the way they are pitching this movie "From the director of Titanic..." really makes me wonder what retard is in charge of marketing.



Set sail for fail skipper.



VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS!

Well that's because the movie's probably gonna be PG13. They can't very well say "The originator of the Terminator series and the director of Aliens" can they?



I'm gonna see it.



Jim Cameron changed me as a movie watcher. He's part of the reason I WANT to be a director.
