James Cameron’s Avatar teaser trailer

21 August 2009No CommentPosted by Phil

This is what we've all been waiting for. The first trailer to James Cameron's original project, Avatar, has been released by FOX. Avatar will either be a complete failure or be one of the most amazing films during the last decade. I hope it also makes a big smash at the box office but what I'm really hoping for is that Avatar has the quality in filmmaking that we've been accustomed to with James Cameron.

I've been reading many comments around the net, folks talking about and being concerned about the CGI which is an important discussion but I'm not going to take part in that because it's only a teaser trailer and I'd rather wait to see the movie before I either bitch or compliment the CG. Because it's Cameron, I'm confident the story, acting, and everything else that goes with creating a movie is going to be totally awesome.

"A paraplegic ex-marine war veteran is unwillingly sent to establish a human settlement on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious, digital 3-D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, will be shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3-D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and will offer a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. Australian actor Sam Worthington stars as the reluctant human settler Jake Sully, with actress Zoe Saldana signing on to portray the local woman who enters into a romantic affair with the hero. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual effects house has been hired to supervise Avatar's complex visual effects. Joel Moore, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Michelle Rodriguez round out the cast." [Fandango]
