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.

WOW… James Cameron – You ARE the best. I don’t have blueray yet but I will be when the AVATAR with 3D goggles come out…
If you don’t have Bluray, you should. It’s amazing and you won’t go back to DVD, I promise you. This film I will be buying it for my Bluray player even if it costs $100. I will also buy me a new bluray player since I will see this one a million times that it will burn my current player LOL… Best movie I’ve seen in my life EVER!!!! Thanks James, you are the best director born, may God bless you always and please make a Sequel!!!!!
I have a 52″ “3d ready” plasma and cant wait to see this in 3D! I am looking forward to the blu ray 3D of avatar. Nice to read it WILL come out
Avatar was a great movie, I just watched it a few day ago. I don’t usually go to the theather because I get nervious around a lot people but I think I’ll give this one a shot because people are saying that it’s even better on the big screen, I think it might be in 3D. Anyway the movie Avatar get two thumbs up from me, I watch all of my movies at voobymovies,com if anyone was wondering and it’s free

Cant wait for 3D BlueRay. I will be ready with a new HDTV that can support the new polar 3D and sterescopic Tech
Will you need a 3D tv to watch the 3d version or will it be like movies like final destination that would come with 3d glasses and you would be able to watch it on a regular HDTV????
Hey! Intressante post, helaas is mijn engels alleen niet zo goed. Zelf bezoek ik vaak nederlandse msn websites. Nederland heeft veel msn websites.
I am a huge fan of this website and I check it regularly. Keep up the great work!
now see, this kind of stuff simply isn’t going to make sense
I’m wild about all this new 3D technology. I’ma get a 73″ 3d mitsubishi tv and everything and use it to play 3d games and 3d movies.
Keep it up, bookmarked and referred a few mates.
I really like the Avatar 3D movie, especially the story line, not only it brings a totally new sensation but inspiring ideas of humanity. I heard the New Avatar 2 is comming soon, can’t wait to see it again…!

OMG! I love Avatar, they did a great job with all the small details that jump out at you with 3D. Just bought the blu ray dvd to see it again at home. The store didn’t have it in 3D yet, what a bummer, but plan to get it when it does come out!
Please make more great movies like this that has a real life meaning behind it. I love the special effects with everything, it takes a person to a whole new world where one can escape from reality even if just for a little while. Thanks!
p.s. of course Mr. Cameron you know the longer you wait to get the blu ray 3D out there, the more sales you’ll lose, so do us all a favor and let us have it, ASAP!
Thanks Mojo! I really love Avatar too, and you’re right about the blu ray 3D and can’t wait to see that one too.

i by no means expected 3d technologies to lift off so much. I’ve been hearing a great deal in the media latley regarding products that are soon to be launched. 3d will be everywhere in the future.
man 3d is taking off. they currently have touchable 3d and they are coming out with 3d screens that you dont require glasses for. crazy stuff. i still think its a bit of a gimmick however.
Harry potter has destroyed my life lol. I have been glued to my room reading the novels for the last few days. i seriously cant wait for the new film be released in theaters. really should be stunning.
im watching Chamber of Secrets as i write this. Im such a big harry potter fan. I seriously cannot wait for deathly hallows come out in theaters.
I really like twilight! I might sit and watch all day long if I didn’t have school..or life to keep me from doing it! lol Wonderful Just Wonderful!

In spite of the amazing effects, it’s yet another lemon from Cameron…
