First Look At James Cameron’s Avatar Set

3:00PM Brian Ashcraft | For those unfamiliar with James Cameron’s upcoming Avatar, the very gamey flick follows an ex-Marine’s struggle for survival on an alien planet. The title refers to the main character’s status as an avatar — a human mind in an alien body. Besides creating oodles (yes, oodles) of CG alien characters to inhabit the flick, Cameron is also planning to show the movie (and the movie based games!) in stereoscopic 3D. The avatar game is apparently already running in stereoscopic 3D! Cameron has been shooting the film in New Zealand, and it’s about 60 percent done. Cameron’s gunning to have it finished it time for its December 2009 release. Above is a picture of the set, which looks more like they’re making a game and less like a movie in the traditional sense.

Avatar Might Be Lacking On Story

7:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Whether it’s creating CG liquid robots or making movies underwater, James Cameron hasn’t just pushed boundaries, he’s toppled them over and then stomped the crap outta them. His upcoming movie Avatar doesn’t sound any different! For those unfamiliar with the years off flick, the very gamey flick follows an ex-Marine’s struggle for survival on an alien planet. The title refers to the main character’s status as an avatar — human mind in an alien body. Besides creating oodles (yes, oodles) of CG alien characters to inhabit the flick, Cameron is also planning to screen the movie (and the movie based games!) in stereoscopic 3D. But what about the story? Says Cameron: More »

Avatar Game Already Running In Stereoscopic 3D

2:30PM Luke Plunkett | Anyone seen a movie in stereoscopic 3D? I caught Beowulf a few months back, thought it was great. Partly for the 3D, but mostly for the glasses, because the ones my cinema were handing out were replica Buddy Holly specs, with not a blue or red piece of cellophane in sight. Classy. I mention this because James Cameron’s upcoming sci-fi “epic” Avatar will be screened in stereoscopic 3D, and Cameron has 3D on the brain, wanting to screen not just the movie in the third dimension, but the games based on the movie as well. Indeed, Cameron’s told Cnet that a 360 build of the adaptation is already up, running, and up and running in 3D. Sounds good to me. So long as the glasses look good.
