What is about:A band of humans are pitted in a battle against a distant planet's indigenous population
Reportedly follows "a paralyzed former marine who undergoes an experiment to exist as an avatar, another version of himself. The avatar is not paralyzed, but is an alien — 10 feet tall and blue." The film "pits a human army against an alien army on a distant planet, using live actors and digital technology to make a large cast of virtual creatures who convey emotion as authentically as humans."
The movie will be a hybrid - ie 60% computer-generated imagery and 40% live-action. The CGI elements in the movie will play such a pivotal role that two years of post production have been set aside for WETA (the New Zealand based special effects company founded by Peter Jackson) to work on unprecedented photorealism. In short, when the movie is released, audiences should not be able to tell what's real, and what's CGI.
I checked out that there is a Nickelodeon cartoon show, "Avatar" which has no connection to James Camerons new Avatar movie. I also found out that movie is 3-D!! The live action elements of the movie will be filmed with a dual lens stereoscopic camera co-developed by James Cameron. The camera has two lenses separated by the same distance that our human eyes are. The lenses are able to focus on a close object by slanting inward, the same way your eyes do when you are able to attempt to look at your own nose. The end result should be the most convincing 3D cinematic experience ever.
Cameron says he hopes to start shooting a cast of unknown actors on a stage in Los Angeles by February 2008.
"Believe it or not, the shooting is a very small part of it," Cameron says. "It's a very, very big project where the shooting is like a month and a half -- not really very much. There's just so much CG, and the visual effects are a huge component. A lot of it is performance capture. We use different techniques (from, for example, Sony Pictures' upcoming 'Monster House'), but it's the same general idea."
He added that they are "very active right now in terms of casting. We're not looking at anyone, we're looking at everyone. There are a number of characters that we can cast from that up-and-coming talent pool. They're not going to be well-known names -- until after the movie, hopefully."
Who's in it?

Giovanni Ribisi ... Selfridge
Sam Worthington ... Jake Sully
I'm really looking forward to this movie since James Cameron And Sigourney Weaver is in it. Kinda reminds me of Aliens.

Variety has published a fascinating and technical interview with Titanic director James Cameron talking about filming in 3-D, his highly-anticipated Avatar, and a smaller movie he will shoot in 3-D as well. Here's several clips;
James Cameron-I plan to shoot a small dramatic film in 3-D, just to prove this point, after "Avatar." In "Avatar," there are a number of scenes that are straight dramatic scenes, no action, no effects. They play very well, and in fact seem to be enhanced by the stereo viewing experience. So I think this can work for the full length of a dramatic feature. However, filmmakers and studios will have to weigh the added cost of shooting in 3-D against the increased marketing value for that type of film.
In the future world shown in "Avatar," all display devices, including handheld devices and even photos, are all in 3-D.
You can read the full interview here! Avatar, due out December 18, 2009, tells the story of an 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.
