Behold! The New 'Avatar' Trailer Has Arrived!

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:16:29 GMT

Is this really the film that's supposed to change the way we watch movies forever? That's what visionary filmmaker James Cameron would like you to believe, and based on this brand new extended trailer for Avatar…well, he might be right. Though this is the kind of film that deserves to be watched in a large theater equipped with a large sound system, it's fairly obvious that, if anything, come December 18th , we'll all be served a very large helping of fantastical visuals while we travel to the distant planet of Pandora with our 3D glasses firmly planted on our faces.

Fanboy Fix: 'Avatar', 'Iron Man 2' and 'Inception'

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:16:29 GMT

After the online ridiculousness that followed last week's Avatar trailer premiere, and the circus of information born out of Avatar Day, the film's star, Sam Worthington, sat down with some journalists on the London set of Clash of the Titans to defend the trailer, the film and director James Cameron's vision. On the trailer, Worthington says, ""Man, it's got a hell of a lot of hype to it. I read all what was said yesterday about the trailer and I can see their point. As I said, it's not meant to be [seen] on an Apple Mac. It's built for IMAX. It's built for 3D. Read more of Sam Worthington's interview on Avatar.

Fans wearing 3D glasses clapped as soon as James Cameron's face appeared on screen. The filmmaker, shown in 3D, invited moviegoers to enjoy a 16-minute peek of his anticipated sci-fi epic "Avatar," which was screened for free around the world Friday.
