3 Minute and 30 Second Avatar Trailer Coming!!

ComingSoon.net has confirmed that 20th Century Fox will debut a new trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar in theaters this Friday, October 23rd! The trailer, which clocks in at roughly around 3 minutes and 30 seconds, won’t be coming online until October 29th. You should really see this in theaters anyways as we’ve learned that this is THE trailer, the one that will show you much more story (as opposed to the teaser trailer previously released).

@Paul
There are only 2 reasons I’m hyped for this film: 1) It’s a new sci-fi universe (not a reboot or sequel) and 2) IT’S FRAKKING JAMES CAMERON. Any other questions?

As another attendee of Avatar Day — even the semi-finished product was amazing to see on the IMAX 3D screen.

I agree with Aaron in that people are going to want the full Avatar experience at least once to see what it’s all about. You’re talking people waiting for and paying for IMAX tickets, and if their sold out, settling for regular screen 3D and then GOING BACK to get the full experience. I think once the film hits and word of mouth spreads (either way) along with the name “Cameron” Avatar will have a strong shot at doing well.

Just going by the trailer (since we don’t know what computer screen you viewed it on) is like critiquing a whole album because you listened to the preview tracks on itunes.

How much marketing is being done by the “wait and see” mentally even you naysayers have?

@skippy

My concern is over the story, it seems like it might be preachy.

However, James Cameron has never went against law enforcement or the military in his previous movies except The Abyss, but even that one it was more one man’s psychosis, not a statement of the military in general.

So something tells me he’s not revealing everything about the story, so in the end it could turn out to not be preachy after-all.

But regardless, either way, I’m almost positive it’ll have great story-telling and great character development because that’s always the case with Cameron’s movies. I’ll be there on opening night.

My overall feelings are a lot like Paul’s. I have not seen the Imax footage, but did see the trailer several times. Parts of it looked very cool, others less so (incomplete rendering?).

I’m sure the final product will look fine, maybe wonderful. However, the story (as I understand it so far) sounds a bit cliched, and that’s my worry.

Wonderful visuals wrapped around a trite story add up to an okay movie in my book. The performances may save it, but who knows? I’ll definitely try to veiw it woth an open mind.

but then when something original like this is attempted, all everyone can moan about is how weird or strange it looks. Or how Cameron has not given everything away in numerous trailers already. Fandom is, as far as im concerned, well on its way to becoming a joke, so long as it keeps its juvenile attitude, lust for nostalgia, nedd to tear down anything trying to do something different or ambitious, or just flat out continues to constantly contradict itself…..

3) I dont get your argument Paul, you seem to be saying that something only deserves anticipation if its based on a pre-existing property? Are you serious? Just how many nostalgia blowjobs do we need from Hollywood Paul? Must every genre project worthy of excitement/anticipation be based on some thing we played with, read or collected as kids? Im excited for Avatar in large part also simply because Cameron is looking forward and actually trying to create a NEW epic sci-fi universe. The internet nerd rage is hilarious when they moan and whine about how idea bankrupt Hollywood is, and because of all the remakes/reboots/prequals etc…being churned out every year (how many of these do we need exactly Paul?). I for one am tired of them, and I want something new and ambitious.

2)Considering Cameron’s track record with action Sci-fi, I believe that is reason enough to be excited, and I believe he deserves the benefit of the doubt

Ok, Paul Ill give it a go. 1) First I guess the reason im excited about Avatar is that I read the old scriptment (I actually still have a copy) from back when it was on the net, before Lighstorm had it removed from all websites. And its that scriptment that has me excited because its ambitious as hell. It reads like an epic live action Miziyaki film, with influces from John Carter of Mars to Dune to Heavy Metal(magazine). The script has Cameron’s useal tight structure, and the action set pieces are quite amazing…

If this movie is not better than star wars for me it will be a failure.

Terminator 2, The Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, The Abyss (Director’s cut only, the theatrical cut didn’t make any sense…), are all among my favorite movies, so damn right I’m going to see this one…

I’m marking and counting every day left ’til the release of this film, so you’ll figure… Aliens is also in my list of favourite films, and I like both Terminators. I also liked Titanic. I saw the Avatar footage. I thought it was awesome. And I’ve never been so anxious for a film since The Dark Knight, last year. I expect this to be great.

@Paul

Do you notice my avatar? Terminator 2, my all time favorite movie, what’s my second? Aliens, also James Cameron. Out of action movies, what is my 4th or 5th favorite action movie? The Terminator, also James Cameron. See where I’m going with this? People ARE excited for Avatar in the same way people were excited for Star Wars and LOTR. You may not see it, but it is for the SAME reason. Sure no other movie has been called Avatar, but in the same way some people look forward to anything Star Wars, people look forward to anything James Cameron.

And Aaron is a bad example for you to point out because he’s actually seen the footage, so he has his reason for why he’s excited. He’s not being a fanboy for “no apparent reason.” Unless you’ve seen the footage and think it’s crap and you don’t understand why Aaron liked it so much…

While i admit Avatar may not ‘succeed beyond all wildest imaginations’ i did watch the trailer over and over again. It may not have lived up to the hype all those mega directors put on it, but could anything of done that? I can not wait for Avatar because i love James Camerons work and i’m a sucker for epic action, which i admit was pretty much all the trailer conveyed. Another reason i’m eagerly awaiting Avatar is because it could be the movie that redeems a rather disappointing summer blockbuster season (besides district 9). If it doesn’t live up to the hype so be it but if spielberg and peter jackson have high praise for it then it’s something nto keep an eye on.
