Oscar-winning “Titanic” director, James Cameron, first came up with the idea for AVATAR 15 years ago when the technology did not exist to bring his idea to the big screen. Now, after four years in the making, AVATAR takes people to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure to save the alien world which he has learned to call his home. AVATAR will be released in cinemas worldwide in December 2009.
