Most of you probably know by now that Avatar is now official. Since the news came over two weeks ago and this is the first update since then, you've probably deduced that, while this is a pretty good place to come for opinions, I'm not stopping any presses with insider scoops.
However, through my relentless and intrepid investigatory work (www.google.com), I've finally obtained a full copy of the original scriptment for Avatar, and you can check back in here by February 10th for a full review. If you have any specific questions about it, e-mail them to me at DavidCBrennan@aol.com and I'll make sure to answer them, either in the review or via e-mail (the smart money's on "Can I have a copy?" as being the most submitted query).
Oh sure, the Avatar script's been floating around for a decade, so you can find plenty of reviews elsewhere online....but my opinions are the only ones that count, okay? (And you're also bound to find my criticisms laughably politically incorrect. (I mean, aren't I the only guy to slip in a reference to the Duke lacrosse hoax when mentioning James Cameron's works?)
In the meantime, here are some relevant links:
1) AintItCoolNews on seeing The Polar Express in D-3D, comparable to Avatar's. (After venturing out to see The Polar Express in Imax 3D myself, I agree with the praise of the format, although not really to the same degree. One other note is that, for some reason, digital movies like The Polar Express look a lot better in this format than real-world shoots in D-3D, such as Aliens of the Deep.)
2) AintItCoolNews on Robert Zemeckis' comparable upcoming digital movie, Beowulf.
3) Greg Dean Schmitz at Yahoo Movies now has an Avatar page. This site has some pretty good stuff....on the rare occasion when they have anything at all. But while it might get updated about as frequently as Star magazine's Pullitzer collection, when they do post a bit of gossip, you can go ahead and mark it down as fact.
