Cameron All 'Avatar' Talk, No 'Avatar' Action at 3-D Summit
Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 1:12AM
Valuable resource
Marketsaw
sat in on the keynote address given by director
James Cameron
at the 3-D Entertainment Summit in Los Angeles earlier in the week. Obviously,
people would love to hear big time updates on
Avatar, a movie that has taken
Cameron about a half-decade to make to this point. 
So, in the words of Jerry Springer, what did we learn? To begin with, Cameron said the reason we don't have a trailer is because the footage he has completed doesn't add up to a good representation of the film. He also said confidently that Fox would appropriately market such a landmark film. As Marketsaw put it, "people will definitely know the movie is coming." The live-action/CGI 3-D film, which has a production in the neighborhood of $200 million, is set to arrive in theaters in almost exactly a year - December 18, 2009. Can the content match what I'm sure will be completely original visuals? It may not matter entirely, but then again, nobody went to see the Final Fantasy movie, and that was ahead of its time, too.

Oh Final Fantasy, your words hurt because there true. They made it all up to me with Advent Children.
