Avatar to be re-released? Enhanced?
Mar 12 2010, 2:43 PM EST | Post edited: Mar 12 2010, 2:43 PM EST
I just found out earlier today that Fox studios may re-release Avatar sometime in the summer or fall of this year. But wait, there's more! This will be a director's cut version with at least 10 extra minutes of additional scenes. If that does happen, Avatar will surpass the $3 billion mark for sure! The question is, will it only be available in 3-D? IMAX allows a limit of 170 minutes on its movies. Avatar is already 160 minutes. We can more or less forget about 2-D. But don't rule that out just yet.

Anyways, here are two separate links with this new story:

oh, i certainly hope it's re-released...after all, Titanic was, and Avatar is so much better (i love titanic, but avatar is just....oh, i don't even need to explain to you all). i'm so sick of trying to find bootleg versions on the internet...in all the good ones i've found recently, the sound is off from the picture, and it just gets worse as the movie progresses. i try to ignore it, but it's just so distracting.

Hekk yea!
I'd be between the first ones to see it if it gets re-released, at least, I hope so. Thanks for the links, the MTV interview with J.C. is also interesting.
See you soon, Pandora :D

Thanks victoryblade for the new info, makes me feel better knowing we have a good shot at it being re-released later this year on the IMAX. I had read somewhere a few weeks ago that JC had mentioned he would think about doing just that, but I hadn't heard any more about it since then until now. I will be there with bells on for sure!!! >;-) Do you find this valuable?

Yeah, thanks for the links victoryblade. I just don't like the idea that the initial 2D DVD release may be put off if the re-release of the movie comes about in the fall. I understand, but I don't have to like it.

Oh, you know that better not happen! They best release the 2D version in April like they originally said!!! I think they know us rabid fans will have a conniption fit & may storm Hell's Gate if they don't! >;-) Since he posted this earlier today, I have now seen this info ALL over the internet & there have been no reports that I have found yet that say it won't be released on April 22nd like we heard a couple of weeks ago. I am keeping my fingers crossed & the second it is available for pre-order, you know I will be here alerting everyone! Keep the faith...

That's the way it appears to me by the way JC was talking in one of the clips at the first site listed in victoryblade's post above.

Well crap then, that will surely suck. I just watched that whole video of him in that interview. It was obviously done before the Oscars since he talked about who might win, but all we can do is hope that they will do the right thing & give us a decent DVD asap & an extended cut with extras for Christmas maybe. I will be at the theater again though if they do re-release it either at the IMAX or regular 3D. I really miss seeing it & may go see it again this weekend on regular 3D.
