Avatar, James Cameron’s long-awaited non-doc follow-up to his 1997 Oscar-winning blockbuster Titanic, has claimed its date of release, and it’s going to be hitting theatres on Memorial Day weekend in 2009. That’s in just 27 short months for those who want to start standing in line.
With a cast that includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver, Cameron’s sci-fi epic is about a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.
