We’re in the midst of an industry preamble for a 3D revolution flush with cash, but there are countless doubters. Ebert’s hating, and while I liked Beowulf and eagerly anticipate Avatar, it’s easy to see 3D becoming the Reebok Pump of cinema (again?). Personally, I’m prone to believing the future holds a more participatory creative [...]

Lets take a look at five of the many technological innovations that James Cameron employed in his upcoming sci-fi epic 3D film Avatar. Performance Capture Workflow: A lot of the film was captured using a performance capture technique similar to that of which Robert Zemeckis filmed Beowulf. So Cameron developed a virtual camera which will [...]

Cheetara is pissed! The image on the upper left is from a staff T-shirt given to an AVATAR crew member by actor Sam Worthington. This is apparently the first look at the alien race called Na’vi in James Cameron’s 2009 3D Movie (that Will Eat the World). In the film, Na’vi live on a planet [...]

James Cameron revealed at the Microsoft Advance ‘08 event that Avatar will be the first film to feature photo-realistic characters which actually look real.
“Avatar will make people truly experience something. One more layer of the suspension of disbelief will be removed. All the syn-thespians are photo-realistic. Now that we’ve achieved it, we discovered CG characters [...]

Here is a round up of stories that just didn’t make the /Film front page, or what we like to call…. Page 2!

For the record, mastermind James Cameron want us to know that he refers to 3D as “stereo.” The director behind one of the most anticipated movies ever, AVATAR, just did an epic interview with Variety on the future of cinema (3D theatrical and 3D home viewing) and tossed in a fresh announcement about his follow-up [...]

Director James Cameron shot AICN an email today to dismiss recent promotional-like artwork as fake and gives a very upbeat update on all things Avatar, his hotly anticipated 3D space adventure due December of next year.
“We’ve wrapped principal, and most of the live action portion of the movie is already cut. It’s starting to [...]

Removed at the Request of20th Century Fox
Our friends at the Italian movie website BadTaste have gotten their hands on a scan of the first official artwork from James Cameron’s upcoming sci-fi 3D epic Avatar. The artwork supposedly came direct from a 2009 Fox line-up. The official plot synopsis, translated from Italian, follows:
“The story of an [...]

20th Century Fox has announced plans to push James Cameron’s sci-fi 3D epic Avatar back from it’s original May 2009 release date, and replacing it with Shawn Levy’s Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian (which is the new subtitle).
Fox is giving Cameron six more months of “just in case” time to make [...]

Last week conceptual artwork which was supposedly from James Cameron’s 3D sci-fi epic film Avatar “leaked” online. We hoped and prayed that it wasn’t real, as it wasn’t too impressive (actually it looked a lot like Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother in Beowulf). Well Cameron e-mailed the guys at AintItCool to clear the air and [...]

The photo to the right has been circulating around the web for a couple days now, but I have decided until now, not to post it because I believed it to be fake. Tonight, all the major movie websites are running with the photo, so I thought, what the hell. So what is the photo [...]

At least 5,000 3-D systems expected to be in place by 2009. DreamWorks Animation’s Jeffrey Katzenberg expects there to be 12 to 18 3D feature films by 2010. 3-D is clearly the future of cinema, at least for the near future. With the recent announcements of Tim Burton’s Alice and Wonderland/Frankenweenie, and today’s announcement of [...]

There are a lot of casting updates tonight, however, very few of them could be considered interesting. But as of 11:30pm on the West Coast, the news forecast for Monday is looking slow… So we’re going to run with it.

Jay Hernandez, Jennifer Carpenter and Columbus Short have joined Johnathon Schaech and Steve Harris in Screen [...]

Lost and Girlfight star Michelle Rodriguez has been sentenced to 180 days in Los Angeles County Jail after admitting to violating her probation from several DUI-related charges. I know you’re probably thinking to yourself “Who cares.” And normally you’d probably be right on, but this might seriously effect James Cameron’s follow-up to Titanic.
As you may [...]

There have been a bunch of new release date changes announced in the last 24 hours, let’s take a look.
DreamWorks has announced that they are moving Monsters vs. Aliens 3D from May 15th 2009 to March 27th 2009. The monster film was originally scheduled to go head to head with James Cameron’s Avatar in what [...]
