Who says you have to rush genius? It only took Academy Award winning director, James Cameron, 12 years to conceive of, develop and complete his latest project, AVATAR. And from the deafening buzz of the now ever powerful geek community, you would think this film was going to be bigger than TITANIC, coincidentally Cameron's last film offering and the most successful film of all time both domestically and internationally. While it will not have the benefit of carrying over all of the TITANIC fanatics given the genre, AVATAR will excite longtime Cameron fans who may have considered TITANIC to be too sappy compared with his earlier work, like the first two TERMINATOR films and THE ABYSS. But will AVATAR be worth the wait? The teaser has just been released and stylistically, it certainly looks fresh and crisp. After 12 years, you are not allowed to give the world sloppy. Will cinematic perfection be enough to pull audiences in though? Very little is known about AVATAR; in fact almost nothing was known before this trailer finally appeared online. What is known is that it stars hot commodities, Sam Worthington (TERMINATOR SALVATION), Zoe Saldana (STAR TREK) and Sigourney Weaver reuniting with Cameron for the first time since ALIENS and that a human army must fight with the indigenous people of another planet. I don't even know why they must fight but this is the conflict. It comes out December 18 and has no competition that weekend, other than that pesky holiday the following weekend and all the last minute preparations that are usually saved for this particular weekend. Also, it is reported that the film cost just under $200 million to make. Mind you, the last time Cameron spent a fortune and oft delayed his film, it went on to win a ton of accolades and become the biggest film in history. That said, if anyone can turn this into gold, it would be him, but I'm just not sold on that yet. Anyone want to place some bets? Here's the teaser ...
