Avatar pushed back to end of 2009

James Cameron has been dreaming of its new movie since a long.
The movie is now under production. Fan and bloggers are desperately trying to get sneak views of Avatar creatures, but in vain so far.

It has been decided to push back the final release to December 18, 2009.

It's a kind of symbolic date for James Cameron: the blockbuster Titanic had indeed been released on the same date!

Let's hope this movie will know the same commercial success.

Avatar - James Cameron sci-fi movie in 2009

Under the direction of James Cameron, Avatar is an upcoming sci-fi movie expected to be released in May 2009.

Here the plot according to a recent press release:

"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" and "We're creating an entire world, a complete ecosystem of phantasmagorical plants and creatures, and a native people with a rich culture and language." (source: Wikipedia)

In the cast:

Samuel Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver starring in Avatar by James Cameron.
- Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, the wounded ex-marine who undergoes an experiment to exist as an avatar;

- Zoe Saldana as Jake's alien love;

- Sigourney Weaver as a botanist who mentors Jake Sully.

State-of-the-art technologies are going to be used to make Avatar a great entertaining experience. Motion capture and computerized animation are Cameron's silver bullets to render the gorgeous world he's been dreaming of since more than two decades.

A video-game based on the movie has also been planned for May 2009 and should be developed by Ubi Soft.
