The website MarketSaw, dedicated to upcoming 3D movies, has a new “inside” report about some of the things Cameron is doing with his $200+ million sci-fi epic, and while the self-proclaimed World King embraces and often creates technology, it seems as though he isn’t going the same route as green-screen addicts like George Lucas (thank Hicks!). Cameron has supposedly been filming in some massive sets built to scale, a welcome approach like in his ALIENS days.
There are a few other details revolving around the title’s significance and the possibility of sentient plants, plus a few other interpretable sideways-spoilers in the report, which you can check out RIGHT HERE if you desperately want to know more.
The story synopsis goes something like this: “In the future, paraplegic war veteran Jake travels to the planet Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na’vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Earthlings find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.”
