James Cameron’s Avatar [first look]
The first official photo from James Cameron’s Avatar has finally come to light, giving us our first nearly full-bodied look at the mysterious blue aliens of Pandora: The Na’Vi
Mild Spoiler below – or in other words, a light Synopsis Alert:
Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully a paraplegic war veteran, who gets the opportunity to travel to another planet, Pandora, to work with a mining operation. Because the planet is so harsh, traditional armor and envirosuit solutions are not good enough to protect miners, and a clone program has developed in which DNA from humans and Na’vi, the natives that inhabit Pandora, are combined.
The result is essentially a cloned Na’vi that can house the consciousness of an individual with human DNA. This means that Jake will be able to walk again. The photo above shows Sully in front of the tank that houses his Avatar. [SlashFilm]
The filmgeeks out there no doubt know about this already, but; 20th Century Fox will be holding a special preview of 15-minutes of Avatar on August 21st, in an event called AVATAR DAY! And I’ve also read that this preview will be free [here’s hoping anyway. I’m not paying money to see JonasBrothers3D]. And yes silly it’s a world-wide thing. [so YES New Zealand]
