[Hunter of the Glade]

I was hoping it would be at the beginning of August but whatever. 5 days away from school starting ftwwwwww

[Patrice Maire]

Yay! Somehow I got the impression it would be late August. Have to check the local theaters and see who's playing it. There are two 3D theaters withing about a half hour of me. (sorry for the people who don't have that...crossing my fingers for you) I'm going to post on facebook for people in my area to do a mass viewing when it comes to town. Lord knows there will be thousands of them at ComiCon!

Jc comment about Avatar Re-Release

""Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we're making that possible. 'Avatar: Special Edition' will be exclusively in 3D, and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you've never seen it, with this special edition, you'll be seeing it like never before," Cameron said."

Do want...

[TheIknimaya]

This is great! It's coming to IMAX! Yes! I never got to see it in IMAX before, so this should be brilliant. Have to drive about 40 minutes to an IMAX theater, but it will be so worth it.

I can see it in RealD 3D at a theater that is 10-15 minutes away, which I did.

Canada isn't on that list though. James Cameron is Canadian!

What about us poor Swedes? :O
We poor swedes who still have avatar in 3d in some cities?

Here's the Press Release:

Avatar To Be Re - Released Worldwide



Thursday 8th July 2010 18.00 IST

Press Release



LOS ANGELES (July 8, 2010): Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron today announced that AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be released in theaters worldwide on August 27, in a limited engagement and exclusively in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D.



This version of Cameron’s history-making and groundbreaking epic will include more than eight minutes of new footage. Since – and largely as of result of -- AVATAR’s release last December, the number of available digital 3D screens has exploded, and moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3D will now have that opportunity.




Commented James Cameron: "Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we’re making that possible. AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION will be exclusively in 3D, and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you've never seen it, with this Special Edition, you'll be seeing it like never before."



Commented Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen and CEOs, Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman: “AVATAR: SPECIAL EDITION is especially gratifying, because not only has AVATAR become one of the most beloved films in history, but after its initial theatrical release, we have been inundated with requests to re-release the film in theaters in 3D. Equally important, we’re thrilled that Jim Cameron is able to give audiences even more of what they loved about AVATAR.”

The Oscar and Golden Globe® winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.7 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time. Director James Cameron takes audiences to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the epic nature of the story.

Dates make the world happy. And dates are also a sticky fruit we eat.

[ZitaX]

Wheres the swedish release date?? I want to see it in 3D again so much! Especially with the new material! Oh god, please let them show it in sweden!

You can't really count on the swedish cinemas nowadays unfortunatly. They wont even show "The expendables" on the big screen, so yeah, you can see for yourself how outright r*tarded they are

[Raiden]

Yes!


I hope the eight minutes are the drinking/party scene and/or the hunting scene where Jake kills a Sturmbeest.

If that is the scene that will be shown, it will also show more about Tsu'tey. If you think about it, we only even got to see him when he was pissed off and when he launched his suicidal attack against the Valkyrie shuttle. Here we should be able to see him when he isn't angryfaic about everything.

[Fighter-of-Wars]

the scene where Jake finds Tsu'Tey after he falls from the shuttle should be put in it somehow.
