TH
CENTURY FOX AND JAMES CAMERON
ANNOUNCE AVATAR DAY
ON AUGUST 21, GLOBAL AUDIENCE GETS FIRST LOOK
AT NEW FILM FROM THE WRITER-DIRECTOR OF TITANIC
LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2009 On August 21, the world will get its first look at
director James Camerons motion picture epic AVATAR, when Twentieth Century Fox
and Cameron debut the films trailer in cinemas everywhere while select cinemas
theaters will screen extended footage prepared by the renowned filmmaker for this global
Avatar Day event.
The worldwide trailer launch will be presented in all formats, including IMAX® 3-D,
IMAX® 2-D, digital 3-D, digital 2-D, and 35mm 2-D. The trailer will also be available
online.
The extended look at AVATAR will unspool only on August 21 and only in 3-D in
select theaters. Details on locations and reserving tickets for this extraordinary and
unprecedented experience will be announced soon.
AVATAR takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant
hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love, as he leads a
heroic battle to save a civilization. The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years
ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual
production work, AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new
kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the
emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
AVATAR opens in theaters everywhere December 17, 2009.
