[Movie] Avatar (2009) - BZ wants your nub

Avatar (2009)



This movie is finally coming December 18th after like 6 years in development, but no teaser or trailer as of yet. Estimated 300 million dollar budget. Not surprising since he broke budget records I think with The Abyss, Terminator 2, True Lies and Titanic I believe.

Apparently its supposed to revolutionize the 3D movie experience with his own 3D stereoscopic camera. This shows the camera- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2squ9HDuBeI

Basically no one has seen any film of yet, although one director has:

Exclusive: Soderbergh Gives Avatar High Praise - ComingSoon.net

Quote:

"In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

Quote:

"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 biodiversity, 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."

James Horner will also reunite with Cameron for the score.

There is even an Avatar MMORPG developed by Ubisoft that they say is coming in December, but we will see.

I love sci-fi and his movies in particular. It is going to be good. The question is just how good.

Most amazing jew boots

Wow stalk me why don't you. I don't even know how that got in there. I will let you slide though since you like Breaking Bad.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nice looking Na'vi there.

How ya doing, buddy?

From what I heard, Avatar will most likely get a three month IMAX run.

And the teaser trailer is finally here.

Apple - Trailers - James Cameron's Avatar


Is anyone seeing the 15 minute screening today in IMAX? Apparently, people who have on imdb say the 2d trailer fucks up the movie and doesn't do it justice? However, they are probably just on an emotional high and many people on the site are just fucked up to begin with.

How ya doing, buddy?

The Search for the "Avatar" Hype

The first big mainstream push is tomorrow on the Biggest hd screen in the world at the Cowboys-Seahawks game. Apparently, 3.5 minute trailer. The only trailer released prior was the 60 second teaser.

I guess you can see it before on the internet, but I'll catch it tomorrow.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sir, sarcasm is not very detectable with text. Throw a smiley in there or something.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Early Buzz: James Cameron's 'Avatar' - Cinematical

Quote:

While the official Avatar Day took place back in August, the unofficial Avatar Day is today, as critics from across the country (and in London) will be seeing James Cameron's Avatar for the first time, one week before its official debut. As I write this, the film's premiere is getting underway in London and the first press screenings are letting out. The London critics had to sign a piece of paper promising not to review the film until Monday, but with so many screenings here in the states, it's a bit sketchy as to what precautions are being taken here. Needless to say, reactions are beginning to pour onto the web. Will Avatar really change the way we watch movies? Let's take a look ...

"... the terrible film that some had been anticipating had not materialised. It was good ... There is, though, a certain amount of suspension of disbelief needed when watching Avatar. Cynics might sneer at the plot ... There is more shock and awe in this movie than almost any other." - The Guardian

"Everything feels real. It's as if Cameron has happened upon this alien world and got his camera out ... It is overwhelming, and that is because you are emotionally tied up in the characters and the story ... James Cameron has described his new filming process as "emotion capture". And it's a boast he lives up to." -- The Sun

One critic who wished to remain anonymous for now: "Was not as thrilled by Avatar as my colleagues; eye-popping visuals, but story is Dances w/Wolves + District 9; I preferred District 9."

From Twitter:

@petershall: "The AVATAR buzz is an understatement. That movie was unbelievable."

@dmann11: "Holy effing crap!!! Avatar was FREAKING AWESOME KICK ASS SWEET!!!!!"

@TheGate: "For the record 'Avatar' was worth the $400 million, and no it is not even remotely "vomit inducing".

@gholson: "Spectacular. A visual feast and the new benchmark in cinematic world building."

@chasewhale: "Just finished AVATAR. Special effects were top notch. The movie ran a little long for my likings but I liked it!"

@comingsoonnet" "Okay, about Avatar?.... WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Unbelievable... amazing."

@MikePereira21: Was blown away by Avatar! For 150 minutes, I was a kid again. Thank you James Cameron! BTW, the groundbreaking 3D was mindblowing."

@rejects: "I'm not supposed to talk about Avatar... That said, it was a spectacular experience. Like nothing I've seen before."

More after the jump ...

@markwalters74: "Just saw AVATAR. Not allowed to talk about it yet. Not allowed to say how it's an amazing visual feast, or that Jimmy C's still got the gift."

@massawyrm: "So I just got back from a movie. It was pretty great...if by pretty great I mean OMFGHOLYF**KINGSH*TOMGOMGOMG. Because that's what it was ... Oh, and if I hear one more "Dances with Wolves" joke I'm gonna throw up in my mouth. Has no one seen DUNE? Because this was DUNE. In a good way ...You have officially been to your last Con in which blue people, spoken Navi and the word "hometree" were absent."

@firstshowing: James Cameron is a freakin' genius! I can't say much but wow, I loved it. #Avatar was phenomenal, pretty much blew me away

@DrewAtHitFix: I think the most accurate way to say it would be OMFGOMFGOMFG. Or words that effect. #avatar

@EDouglasWW: I'll take my chances with Fox legal.... Avatar was amazing, I loved it!

@rejects It's impossible to say that something is a "gamechanger" or that it will "redefine" movies. But I can say that I've seen something I've never seen before. And that I've seen something that shows the potential for the craft of filmmaking in this new century.

@sizemore So *that* was James Cameron's AVATAR. Holy f**king f**k.

@JonTT Avatar = outstanding. Really. Truly. See it. Soon.

@slashfilm I'm not allowed to say anythng about what I thought of Avatar, but saw it in a screening room with neill blomkamp, who didn't sign an NDA. He loved it... I will say this, it's hard to disagree with Neil

@LarsenOnFilm First Impression: Avatar. Stronger story than I expected, amazing visuals. Still no need for 3-D though. Full review next week.

@simonpegg Avatar ........................ tweetless. Just tweetless in the best possible way.

@johndollin Such a small word to describe a huge film 'EPIC', I entered a dream and didn't want to return. 3D just made it all the more real.

First impressions look very very amazing.

FELIPE NO

How about you shut you mouth nub.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

How about you direct your attention to your prior post, nub.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well Horner seems to be get a lot of flak from what I hear, due to alleged reuse of earlier classical themes and his own stuff. I can't back that up since I don't go through his repertoire or anything, nor listen to enough classical. Off the top of my head, all I remember listening to is Titanic, Braveheart, A Beautiful Mind and Apocalypto. All of which were extremely memorable besides Apocalypto (however Apoc worked great during the film).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah I saw it in 3d, not imax just regular 3d, but I've never seen anything like it before. Fantastic all around even if the story is nothing new. It doesn't really have to be with everything going on around it, and the fact that retelling of stories is bound to happen more and more as we move forward.

Horners score was pretty good, but I am not sure it topped his oscar titanic win or Braveheart. However, I haven't listened to the soundtrack yet, so that may change.

Frankly, it just boggles my mind when I think about what they had to do to get this 160 minute movie out.

Oh and how about that next in line chief kicking fucking ass in the ship where the explosives were

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I believe he mentioned he always wanted to do a second one if it was successful. I can't recall the exact quote though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I don't even think it is 20 bucks. IMAX 3d was 14 dollars for me anyway. And I seem to remember these ticket sales were like less than 10% of the overall gross. Or was that 3D in general?

How ya doing, buddy?
