Cameron confirms Blu-ray 3D plans for Avatar
3D is going to make 2D look like 1D.
Not content with his $232 million box-office haul from over the weekend, director James Cameron is already thinking ahead to the inevitable Blu-ray release for Avatar.
Considering most of the hype (and serious awards consideration), seems to be centered around Cameron’s unprecedented use of 3D technology – and the recent announcement that the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has adopted official 3D specs for the format – many were wondering about whether or not Blu-ray 3D had found its killer app (so to speak).
Speaking with MTV, Cameron acknowledged Avatar is expected to hit home video before summer, but just a standard release. However, the auteur does have plans for a Blu-ray 3D release sometime in the future.
“Probably the initial Blu-ray release of Avatar won’t be in 3-D and then a subsequent release will be in 3-D. That’s my guess right now,” said Cameron, “So we will probably put out a disk, you know, in six or eight months, let’s call it six months, and then after that we will have a 3-D disc when there are enough sets available.”
There is good news for fans who want more of the Skittle-colored world of Pandora and its inhabitants. It seems deleted scenes with the Na’vi, pulled from the theatrical cut, will find their way back into the standard Blu-ray release.
“It’s all wonderful stuff, but it was sort of bogging down the middle section of the movie. There’s plenty for a value-added DVD experience on this film. Of course, we’ll have to go punch it all up and get it all mixed and stuff like that.”
So we might have to wait a little bit longer for Avatar in 3D, but it is coming.
