James Cameron's AVATAR discussion thread

[Bannister]

And Bannister, get your head out of the cryogenic chamber already. If you watch Fringe you know your cryo head is doomed. Their gonna hijack the truck and look for their boss and yours will get tossed out to thaw

Quote from Marketsaw.com

"Jim here. Michael and I have been hearing things from multiple sources - all pointing to a second trailer release for AVATAR within the next week to 2 weeks.

All indications are that the trailer will be made available online on AVATAR's official site and/or AVTR.com before theatrically. However you can expect to see the trailer in 3D in front of A CHRISTMAS CAROL I will wager!"

New pics and box office figures. People seem to forget that the price for a 3D ticket is more than a regular and that this film lends itself to multiple viewings.

Yo Lightwave,

You seem to know a lot about this film and stuff, you know if there'll be other collectible action figures besides the ones from Mattel? Hot Toys perhaps...

Re: AVATAR

Oh, God, I hope this movie doesn't kick as much ass as Cameron thinks it will so that Hot Toys makes figures of those robot things and I have to buy them.

Damn you, Cameron, stop creating the coolest ^^^^ for me to swoon over. I hope your movie sucks (no I don't).

, I agree, BTW Very Cool Avatar yourself SS

Won't be a bit surprised if HT is already working on it. If not them, then Medicom. My guess would be both. Anyway, I would be surprised if neither one has 'em on the drawing board at this very moment.

I don't think I'll be going to a theatre before it is released online on October 29th. Sad that it's over a week away.

 

[lightwave000]

There are a bunch of people upset about that. Apparently Fox might plaster the theater with the trailer on several movies. Possibles are Astroboy, Amelia, Vampire Assistant, and the new Saw movie. I dont know if it will show on older movies or not.

It will be leaked most likely but when I see it the first time i want it to be on the big screen or at least in HD on an iMac.

I guess this is part of Fox's new marketing scheme. Brace yourselves, they are planning an all out blitz and its about to start. They have yet to really spend anything on Marketing so you know it has to be coming and Fox reps have said as much. It will be interesting to see if this trailer greatly trumps the first to live up to the hype.

 

[agen_kolar]

I'm hoping it's leaked, because I certainly will watch that until it comes out online in HD.

I am not watching this trailer for the first time on some grainy camcorder footage.

Saw the movie poster Yesterday and holy crap is it awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the new trailer will be amazing. no doubt about that(they have to counter the overwhelming negative reactions from the teaser trailer).

but why would anyone want to watch anymore trailers when the movie is mere weeks away? this is the biggest movie ever made. why let the money shots be spoiled for you now on some crummy computer screen, when you're so close to seeing it fresh on the big screen? if i can wait a decade for a new cameron movie, i sure can wait a few more weeks.

You talking the 3d poster Pitu?


And dont worry about the "money shots" being spoiled. They have already said they werent spoiling the movie through trailers like most films do.

Just under 2 months away, and I at least want another trailer because the first had virtually no dialogue and didnt go into story. For this trailer to be 3 times as long as the first it should rock!

yes the 3d one.

 

[lightwave000]

My bad guys, I dont think its 3 times longer. The original I believe was 2:08 and this is about 3:26.

As you can see from this Fox has several trailers prepared and ready to go.
