First pictures of Avatar released

Monday, August 24 by Julie Brown

Did you attend the Avatar Preview Event? What did you think of the 15 minutes of footage shown at IMAX? To fill in a few of the gaps between those incredibly beautiful - and quite awe-inspiring - images we saw on screen at the Preview, here's the official word on the film's story:

"In the epic action adventure AVATAR, James Cameron, the director of “Titanic,” takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination. On the distant moon Pandora, 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."

Congratulations to all the fans who managed to secure tickets!

The trailer has now been officially released along with some inside production stills, so take a look at these scenes from the making of Avatar.

  No date yet for ticket sales, but should be in November sometime. MYMAX members will be the first to know. Sign up here if you're not already a member: http://www.imax.com.au/mymax
  
  And I expect there will be a number of midnight screenings. We'll keep you posted.

November? But they're already on sale in the US. :(
Any word on a midnight screening? I would think there would be one considering the magnitude of this release.
