Jessica Alba “Machete” Poster
A new poster for Ethan Maniquis and Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete” is currently on display at the American Film Market (AFM), and it features a look at Jessica Alba as Sartana. Check it out below.
“Machete” is based on the “fake” trailer in Rodriguez’s 2007 Grindhouse. The highly skilled Federale Machete (Danny Trejo) is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he’s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he’s been set up. He barely survives the sniper’s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren’t you!
First “Avatar” TV Spot
The first “Avatar” TV spot debuts, and it looks pretty cool.
“Avatar”, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads an epic battle to save a civilization.
James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of “Titanic,” first conceived the film 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.

4-Minute “Avatar” Featurette
We have added four-minute behind-the-scenes featurette for James Cameron’s upcoming fantasy epic, “Avatar“.
The story’s hero is Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Bitter and disillusioned, he’s still a warrior at heart. All Jake ever wanted was something worth fighting for, and he finds it in the place he least expected: on a distant world. Jake has been recruited to join an expedition to the moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-mining for a mineral worth $20 million per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate their work, the humans use a link system that projects a person’s consciousness into a hybrid of humans and Pandora’s indigenous humanoids, the Na’vi. This human-Na’vi hybrid – a fully living, breathing body that resembles the Na’vi but possesses the individual human’s thoughts, feelings and personality – is known as an “avatar.”
