There is word flying all over the internet today that the first trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar” is going to debut in front of Transformers 2. Nothing has been officially confirmed at this point as far as I know… but the info SEEMS to be legit.
I’m still not sure why Avatar is getting so much buzz. Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking foward to seeing it, but no one has seen anything from this movie yet and yet it’s being pumped like the next there’s no tomorrow by some people.
Showing this trailer in front of Transformers 2 would make a lot of sense. It would be hitting the right demographic, and the audiences will be HUGE for Transformers AS WELL. This, if it turns out to be true, will probably just add to the opening weekend onslaught of T2.
Are you looking forward to Avatar? Are you really hyped about it? Why?
In a distant future, humanity discovers the planet ‘Alpha Centauri B-4’, and for those scientists and astronauts who’ve traversed the gulf between neighboring suns and arrived on its alien soil know it as ‘Pandora’. A world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and deadly ammonia-breathing lifeforms. It’s also a world that harbors treasures and resources almost beyond price. But just as the original Pandora’s Box wrought devastation on those who would use it for their own gain, so too this world may destroy not just the Pandorans’ home, but ours as well.
Avatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.
