    James Cameron's Avatar (2009)

    Here's a pic of the teaser poster which appears genuine:



    Also, the photographer claimed that the photo had a strange 3-D quality to it, that the logo and the earth pop out, and the light around it moves when you do.
    And a pic of a Weta workshop:



    More info:

    The Internet Movie Database is listing 2 time Cameron collaborator James Horner as Composer on Avatar (although no confirmation has been made). Many fans will be pleased as the score for Aliens ranks amongst the best around (and is still used in many trailers till this day) plus his work on Titanic earned him 2 Oscar wins. Recent works include Flightplan, The New World and Mel Gibson’s Mayan epic Apocalypto. Click on pic to go to the IMDB.
    Perhaps my most anticipated film. Like ever perhaps.

    Has there been any more info on exactly what is supposed to be so incredibly groundbreaking in this movie?

    I remember a rumor floating around a few months ago that Cameron said he somehow came up with a way to make the film 3-D without the use of glasses.

    "Rick...it's a flamethrower."

    I'm really looking forward to this movie. I thought it would be out in 2008, but it's 2009. :sad:

    Finally James Cameron is getting off his ass and making another movie. A man of his obvious talents should not retire or stick to making only documentaries.

    Beats me. So far everything sounds utterly non-groundbreaking.

    This is all I can find about the breakthrough of this movie.

    Other technological innovations includes a performance-capture stage, called The Volume, which is six times larger than previously used and an improved method of capturing facial expressions. The tool is a small individually made skull cap with a tiny camera attached to it, located in front of the actors' face and who collects all information about their facial expressions and eyes, which is then transmitted to the computers. Besides a real time virtual world, the team is also experimenting with a way of letting computer generated characters interact with real actors on a real, live-action set while shooting live action.[32]
    Kinda whoa to me.

    That doesn't really make sense to me though.

    Are they making holograms of these characters so that the actors can interact with them?

    How do live actors interact with computer generated characters?

    James Cameron's hologram is laughing in your face.

    James Cameron is laughing on his golden toilet which is no hologram at all.

    James Horner has produced a lot of good scores.

    And a lot that make me feel like I've been molested.

    So this film is about aliens or something? War, etc?

    Will this film adhere to the 160x90 pixel ratio allowed? And more importantly, will it be phallic?

    I fail to understand why anyone would want a golden toilet. What a waste of money. Even for gazillionares.

    Certain theatres are going to issue glasses to each patron, which when worn, replaces every vaguely phallic object in the film with an erect penis. The future of cinema is already here!

    Saw Cameron on Entourage today. The simple act of seeing the man opening his mouth causes considerable pleasure.

    It's no secret that I love action, and as a discernible fan of the genre, I'd say he's up there with the very best precisely because he doesn't neglect what makes genuinely great action engaging. So while Aliens amps up the testosterone compared to the original, it's still plenty scary and filled with memorable characters that one cares about.

    That reads real strange.

    But I'm a huge Cameron fan. I agree that he's one of the best there is, not only for technical mastery, but the fact that his action films can be taken seriously and be ridiculously entertaining at the same time. Not many can pull that off.

    I like Cameron but not THAT much

    I've been following this project since it was announced with extreme curiosity, not only for the technology, but to watch him trying to go into Lucas territory of Space Operas. He can pull of something compelling and exciting, i just hope he doesn't get carried away too much with his new toys and forget he's still making a film.
