Yesterday the world was treated to the teaser trailer for the long, long. long awaited and maybe the most anticipated movie of 2009: James Cameron’s AVATAR.
But some people weren’t all that blown away. Was it sorta weaksauce because it was showcased on computer monitors and not on the big screen featuring electrifying 3D? Could be. Actually, Cameron, Fox, and Panasonic are banking on it!
So to help win the world over and attempt to regain some of that $200M+ budget, Panasonic and their 3D compatible HDTVs are hitting the road in big trailers and touring the country, showcasing the trailer in the true 3D form as it was intended.
Wow. Specifically, Panasonic will show dazzling Full HD 3D assets related to AVATAR at numerous events to prove the power of 3D technology to consumers around the world… in Europe, three mobile Full HD 3D theaters will start visiting shopping malls and other locations this Fall. Beginning with the IFA trade fair to be held from September 4, Panasonic will show Full HD 3D videos including the AVATAR trailer at trade shows and events across Europe.
They’re really going all out, aren’t they? As they should. I still haven’t seen a second of footage from the film, and you know what… I don’t want to! I want the full IMAX 3D experience to hit me for the first time when the film explodes into theaters December 18, 2009.
To get the skinny on this worldwide marketing extravaganza, head over THIS WAY, and keep it here for all things AVATAR for the next four months… and beyond???
