James Cameron on final director's cut
 

So it seems that we will have Cinema SE ver extended by 7 min with finished footage, I kinda hoped for 16-17 mins more *sad* but well at least seven more........

Do want...

Sad there won't be another rerelease though... :'(

Well I guess it's good, he can focus more on the sequel ;)
I'm fine with 16 minute extension since I didn't see the SE (waiting for the BD) :P

Wait wait. By the "7-minute extension", does he mean there'll be 7 minutes added along with the 16-17 minutes of extra footage, or just 7 minutes period, without the other 16-17 minutes?

I think it's just 9 mins from the theatre release + 7 more on BD?

to be honest for sure i don't know as in one interview He(Jc) said cinema Se ver + additional 16-17, and now it's only 7 :( so confusing :(

I think it could go either way.

I'm pretty sure that the special edition in November is 16-17 minutes longer than the original/first theatrical cut. The 16 minutes will include the extra 9 minutes from the recent re-release, and also includes the extra 7 minutes to be included on the Blu-ray.

So the 9 minutes from the release + the new 7 minutes specifically for November edition = 16 minutes.

Ah... That makes sense. :)

And of the extra 7 minutes, 5 minutes or so will be the restored "Earth" scenes JC has said, excerpts of which can be seen in the original movie trailers.

Looking forward to the earth scenes (which I assume will include the bar fight scene:P)

I will never understand why that scene was cut out.

Yeah I always found that odd when I first saw the trailer. There's a tiny bit of the Earth scene in the trailer, yet for some reason never in the movie. We'll all find out the juicy details in the DVD. :)

Not enough time and more important things to add.
I still want to see the avatars attack Hell's Gate :D :war:

^^QFT

Really looking forward to it. Of course, I have other things to anticipate in that month too, so for me waiting won't be so bad.

Spoilerz >__>

16 mins, 6, 7? Who cares! As long as it's extended, I'm happy! :D

This :P:D

I kind of wanted to see more acts of inhumanity (hah!) by the humans, like Tsu'tey getting his queue cut off. It would make Wainfleet's comeuppance so much sweeter.

Yea, but you can have more... :P I'm too greedy for Avatar footage

But I doubt JC, I mean really doubt, he'll give the extension in theaters and take some out for the DVD

after having just read the script, some scenes i would really like to see are

1.) the dancing scene where neytiri, grace, norm, jake and tsutey are all dancing around the fire

2.) the scene where grace actually recounts the story of the RDA attacking the school and shooting her and neytiri's sister

3.) the part of the love scene where jake tells neytiri that his real human body is far away, but neytiri tells him that this body (his avatar body) is real, this spirit is real and that jake has taught her that spirit is all that matters.
^^^that scene strengthens their bond and love so much in my opinion:D

Too many numbers, I'm just happy with xtra footage.
I want Earth scene, more of the school, more first meeting Neyney, more jake and Tsu'tey. and more Hell's gate

My thoughts exactly.

I still want the avatars and Max attacking Hell's Gate :war:
