Synopsis

Genre: Action | Adventure

AVATAR takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery, 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. - In Theaters December 18th, 2009.

If there’s one thing we know about James Cameron it’s that he can spend a lot of money on a film to make a lot of money. Take Titanic for example, it cost a phenomenal $200 million dollars to make, and turned a profit of $1.8 billion, but will Avatar be able to match that kind of return? So far, Avatar has had a budget of approximately $237 million, with an additional $500 million spent by 20th Century Fox, which would mean the profit would have to be gargantuan. Will Cameron be able to surpass his previous successes? Or is this movie a huge, expensive gamble? You’ll have to wait to find out. Avatar hits theaters December 18th, 2009.

Art Director Pascal Blanche took some time to talk about the upcoming game and how cooperation and respect between gamemaker and filmmaker spawned an epic work of art and entertainment.

“…I went several times to the hangar and Lightstorm’s offices in LA. Sometimes it was for meetings with Cameron, to show him a new concept in the game, sometimes it was to meet his team and talk about animations, props or environments. Jon Landau was also around, here in Montreal and in LA, to show us the latest scenes they had just wrapped for the movie. It was like being teased on the total experience once every few weeks!..”
