Trailer (not official, but pretty cool nonetheless)
The film that has been growing in James Cameron's mind for 12 years is now one of the most highly anticipated films of 2009, promising to change film-making forever.
A fansite
So does this film pique anyone else's curiosity? Or will it be a huge flop?

In a distant future, humanity discovers the planet 'Alpha Centauri B-4', and for those scientists and astronauts who've traversed the gulf between neighboring suns and arrived on its alien soil know it as 'Pandora'. A world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and deadly ammonia-breathing lifeforms. Its also a world that harbors treasures and resources almost beyond price. But just as the original Pandora's Box wrought devastation on those who would use it for their own gain, so too this world may destroy not just the Pandorans home, but ours as well.
~Both plot descriptions taken from IMDB.Avatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.
