Audiences will finally get to see what director James Cameron has been up to since becoming “King of the World” in 1997 with “Titanic.”
“Avatar,” his hugely anticipated follow-up to his disaster love story, doesn’t hit theaters until December 18. But the first official trailer of the film will bow across all formats (3-D, 2-D, IMAX and the Web) Aug. 21 – for one day only.
The upcoming film, easily the biggest film to date shot in 3-D, follows a man (Sam Worthington) “who leads a heroic battle to save a civilization,” or so the press release reports.

“who leads a heroic battle to save a civilization,”
Yeah, yeah. Evil humans exploiting wiser and far cooler “primative” native species. A recent CG animation movie with the same theme cratered so hard that you can’t even see the bottom of the hole. Thank goodness Cameron is uber famous and is spending so much money and new tech on this that at millions of people will get exposed to his “message”.
This and the “I found Jesus – he’s right in this coffin” thing makes me yearn to live in that universe where Cameron’s great grandfather was skinned alive for amusement by an Apache squaw.
There might not be “Terminator” or “Aliens 2″ there, but it would be a lot less preachy.
Wait a second, The Abyss…….superior Alien beings bad humans……Avator….superior Aliens bad humans…..hmmmm sounds familiar.
When there was actual science fiction literature being read, a fairly active sub genre was the “bad humans good natives” theme. One still runs into old sci fi geeks who cuss the human race at the drop of an Ursula Le Guin. I’ve asked several with what other sapient race they compare humans. So far, none has answered.
