For those of you who missed Avatar in theaters, or never got a chance to see it in 3-D, or just want another chance to watch it again. FOX will be re-releasing the film with 8 minutes of new additional footage exclusively for 3-D theaters. They're finding that there's still more demand for the film and a lot more money to be made from it, so if you're feeling generous enough to make the highest grossing film of all time gross even more, well you'll get another chance once this special edition of the film releases on August 27th!
Press Release:
Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron announced that AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be released in theaters August 27, in a limited engagement and exclusively in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D.
This version of Cameron’s history-making and groundbreaking epic will include more than eight minutes of new footage. Since – and largely as of result of -- AVATAR’s release last December, the number of available digital 3D screens has exploded, and moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3D will now have that opportunity.
Commented James Cameron: "Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we’re making that possible. AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be exclusively in 3D, and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you've never seen it, with this Special Edition, you'll be seeing it like never before."
Commented Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen and CEOs, Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman: “AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION is especially gratifying, because not only has AVATAR become one of the most beloved films in history, but after its initial theatrical release, we have been inundated with requests to re-release the film in theaters in 3D. Equally important, we’re thrilled that Jim Cameron is able to give audiences even more of what they loved about AVATAR.”
As a reminder to fans of the film, you can inquire at our store about the availability of 'The Art of Avatar.'
