Cameron needs to give me something now! A pic, a doll or something.

Yeah I've already seen those. Some Art Work of a couple of sets or just one set would be nice.

yeah seriously. i figured you had seen them already. i remember you saying something in another thread about the lack of hype possibly hurting this movie. i hear you on that, i'm surprised it isn't talked about more. i guess without even a trailer and the fact that it's being kept under wraps so much = very little to talk about. i'm sure once a trailer hits this movie will become big news (i hope at least )

New on-set pix from Empire magazine.

From The Film Stage.

And if you wanna know how the Pace-Cameron Fusion 3D camera works, here's a Google video from 2006. I'm sure the've made improvements since then.

Siguorney Weaver and Cameron? I am there! Looks to be really good. The cast looks good as well. Lots of great actors. Could this be the next big "Alien" franchise? Or is it just a one movie thing?

Any trailers out yet?

[Sussudio]

Drinkmore - no trailers yet, but you can bet when there is the hype for this movie will REALLY take off!

Zoe Saldana is hot. Oh...and this movie looks good, too..

James Cameron is my favorite filmmaker; I've been waiting years to see his next picture. So far, this looks awesome!

Thank you. Got my eye on you, Sussudio.

There's an April 24th New York Times article about this movie as well. It raises concerns over the releasing of the trailer on 2D when the visual impact will be most felt in 3D.

Yep, but read it here before it goes into archive.

Only a few weeks ago, Joshua Quittner, a technology writer for Time magazine, fed the frenzy when he reported feeling a strange yearning to return to the movie’s mythical planet, Pandora, the morning after he was shown just 15 minutes of the film. Mr. Cameron, Mr. Quittner wrote, theorized that the movie’s 3-D action had set off actual “memory creation.”

Questioned by telephone recently at his home in Mill Valley, Calif., Mr. Quittner said he was still reeling from the experience.

“It was like doing some kind of drug,” he said, describing a scene in which the movie’s hero, played by Sam Worthington, ran around “with this kind of hot alien chick,” was attacked by jaguarlike creatures and was sprinkled with sprites that floated down, like snowflakes.

“You feel like the little feathery things are landing on your arm,” said Mr. Quittner, who remained eager for another dose.
...
At ShoWest, a convention of movie exhibitors, a few weeks ago, Mr. Cameron in a short promotional video compared watching “Avatar” to “dreaming with your eyes wide open.” (It was a neat complement to those who have been viewing the movie in their sleep.)

But, sooner rather than later, an increasingly restless group of the fans would like to sample the real thing. And that presents a conundrum for Fox, which will be hard pressed to release a conventional, 2-D trailer online — one of the most powerful ways to promote a movie these days — without undercutting the promise of a transcendental 3-D experience.

“I can’t believe they would spend 12 years developing the technology and telling us in words how great this is, then show us in 2-D,” said T. F. Powell, who runs AvatarMovieZone.com, an unofficial fan site devoted to the film. Mr. Powell recently spoke by telephone from Kansas.
