Avatar Disc Details

• 5th Oct 2010

People all over are already sick of hearing about it and the many editions that have been coming forth like Lucasfilm owned the rights or something – but here at Filmwerk, we have held off over-reporting on the Avatar phenomenon as we knew it would all boil down to a big fat special edition of some sort – and in fact there are two! The three-disc Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and Avatar Collector’s Edition DVD.

The Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition releases on 15th November. With three versions of the film, Avatar fans will get an all-new extended cut of the film, in addition to hours of never-before-seen material including over 45 minutes of amazing deleted scenes.

The three-disc Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and Avatar Collector’s Edition DVD will both feature the original theatrical release, a special edition re-release, and new collector’s extended cut with over 15 more minutes including an exclusive alternate opening earth scene.

The Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition Blu-ray will contain even more bonus material and will provide a compelling interactive viewing experience. Leveraging the unparalleled interactive technology of Blu-ray, fans can dive further into the world of the Na’vi and experience the international sensation from behind-the-scenes with a “master class” on the production of the film. Viewers can experience the full film in three stages of production: ‘Performance Capture’, ‘Template’ and ‘Final’ as well as a composite of all stages in “Pandora’s Box”. This mode is complemented by interviews with James Cameron and the crew and ultimately serves as a complete and enlightening tutorial on the making of Avatar.
