James Cameron (the director of The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True Lies and TITANIC) is all set to bring forth his latest sci-fi 3D extravaganza called 'AVATAR'.
Cameron's last theatrical movie was Titanic which was released 12 years back in 1997. Titanic needs no introduction to any one. the Leonardo di caprio & Kate Winslet starrer Titanic(which was produced at then highest budget of $ 200 million) became the highest grossing film of all time making the record amount of more than $ 1.8 Billion i.e about 8500 Crores of Rupees. My God that's more than the net income that NTPC India's leading power generation Public Sector Undertaking(PSU) earned in the year 2008. Adjusting for inflation during all these years the gross of Titanic can ever cross the magic figure of $ 2 Billion or accordingly 10000 Crore Rupees!
Well as they say success speaks for itself that's why Cameron is all set to release Avatar on December 18, 2009 all across the globe simultaneously. The budget of this movie is reportedly $ 300 million. The official figure is not yet released but as claimed on some websites that the budget may have exceeded far away from $ 300 million figure making it the most expensive movie of all time. The reason behind this humongous budget of Avatar is that it is the result of James Cameron's scientific tryst of successfully experimenting a latest technique of filming in 3D (three dimension). Plus the movie is only around 30% live action and the rest is composed of totally convincing 3D visual effects provided by Weta Digital, the four time oscar winning New Zealand based special effects company which produded visual effects for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong( the company is owned by Peter Jackson, the director of these films). You can see it yourself by watching the trailer -
I am eagerly awaiting for the December 18, 2009 when Avatar will be released in India too (worldwide release). Lets see whether its released in IMAX theatre of Pacific Mall Delhi. James Cameron claims that he will change the way people perceive watching a movie in the theatre. Well expectations are really high but Cameron really does what he says. Keep in touch with this blog for further updates.
