AVATAR WILL RETURN THIS AUGUST

With already raking in $2.7 billion worldwide, James Cameron and 20th Century Fox wants more. So they come up with the re-release of Avatar into the cinemas on August 27 in an exclusively 3D version with extra footage to be add in, amounted about eight minutes more than the first print released back in mid-December.


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.

At first I wasn't sure if the re-release will be applied for Malaysia too. A check at local movie portal, Cinema Online confirmed that the re-released will happen on 26 August in Malaysia and Singapore at a very limited engagement and exclusively in Digital 3D. Well, many missed the 3D version when the first time Avatar was released but we have more and more cinemas been equipped with 3D screens. So, that could be a good reason for people to head on for another go to the Pandora.
