‘Avatar’ Details Online….Poster ?!

By Allan Ford | Mar 4, 2008 | Movie News, Movie Posters (2) Comment

Avatar - posterWhile James Cameron himself has said in the past that he’s been keeping Avatar’s secrets close to his chest, it was only a matter of time before things started leaking here and there.Now, as the principal photography winds down and the long haul of post-production begins on his ambitious 3D sci-fi epic, effects blog Marketsaw has posted a few details about the movie.

“The story of an injured ex-marine who finds himself involved (against his will) with men colonizing an alien planet. Finally, he chooses to change his battle array, leading the alien race in a battle for life.”

Fox are certainly betting big bucks on James Cameron’s 3D ‘Avatar’ with a $200 million budget in place, big things are going to be expected of it. We know Cameron can do the business but it’s been a while since the lad has delivered product. Word is also saying that ‘Avatar’ is going to be replete with so much CGI that it will be practically an animated film. Continue Reading…
