Everyone over twitter generally loves the clip they saw :)

EDIT:

The Avatar panel is about to begin. Fox head Tom Rothman has come out, and is describing this as a once-in-a-movie-executive’s-life experience. The technology, as amazing as it is, he insists, “is resolutely in service of plot and character.”

James Cameron emerges, and says he’s going to “speak from the heart…I’m a great fan of other worlds…It’s a great privilege to present what I’ve been working on. It’s a privilege to share this first with Comic-Con.” He talks of being trapped in his home town of Chippawa, Canada (“with a population of half of the people in this room”) where he’d dream of Bradbury and Asimov as a child. He dedicates this movie to his 14-year-old self, “dreaming of adventure.”

He’s now stepping away for the 25 minutes premiering at Comic-Con. (“WE LOVE YOU!” says a man in the crowd.) Then he asks: “How many of you ever wanted to go to another planet. Are you ready to go to Pandora?”

August 21st is Avatar Day

James Cameron has returned to the spotlight. The Avatar panel just finished at the San Diego Comic Con and CB’s own Katey Rich should have a full report on everything she saw there soon. In the meantime, we wanted to let you know to mark your calendars. Circle August 21st. Write the word “Avatar” on it.

Cameron announced during the Avatar panel that on August 21st, they’re planning an unprecedented event. Rather than simply teasing his movie with the usual assortment of internet trailers and television spots, they’re inviting everyone into IMAX theaters all over the world where a full fifteen minutes of Avatar will be shown to hungry audiences in 3D. This isn’t just some cool press event happening in New York or LA, it’ll play on that day in IMAX theaters all over the world. Prepare to have your mind blown.

The first trailer for the Avatar video game will also debut that day. Maybe it’ll be good, but there’s no chance it’ll be as good as whatever it is that Cameron has to show us. See you at an IMAX theater, on August 21st for Avatar Day.

Official Plot Synopsis: In the epic action adventure fantasy AVATAR, James Cameron, the director of Titanic, takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination. On the distant moon Pandora, a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love ? as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

The story?s protagonist, Jake Sully, is an ex-Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. In order to participate in the Avatar program, which will give him a healthy body, Jake agrees to travel to Pandora, a lush rainforest environment filled with incredible life forms ? some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also the home to the Na?vi, a humanoid race that lives at what we consider to be a primate level, but they are actually much more evolved than humans. Ten feet tall and blue skinned, the Na?vi live harmoniously within their unspoiled world. But as humans encroach on Pandora in search of valuable minerals, the Na?vi?s very existence is threatened ? and their warrior abilities unleashed.

Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na?vi hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies in the real world, controlled by a human driver through a technology that links the driver?s mind to the Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Moreover, he falls in love with a young Na?vi woman, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched by her ferocity in battle.

As Jake slides deeper into becoming one of her clan, he finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Na?vi ? forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Conceived 14 years ago and over four years in the making, AVATAR breaks new ground in delivering a fully immersive, emotional story and reinvents the moviegoing experience.

I had no idea what this was about, now my interest is slightly piqued, I'm now looking forward to seeing what it'll be like.

What Andrew is trying to say in the nicest possible was is... No :)

[KeR]

any leaks of the 20min footage?

[Rappy Veteran]

I haven't seen any mentioned, I had heard from someone who went to comic con that they were checking bags before entrance as to stop leaked footage.

[vip]

Haha, I clicked this thinking it was about Avatar: The Last Airbender also ... but this does look interesting. Is this based off of anything already made?

[SuperJediMedia]

NO LEAK!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

This will be Star Wars Meets Terminator Meets Aliens in terms of Technical Achievement!!!

[KeR]

Well I can't wait, its supposed to be the biggest thing in movies since - well since the invention of the film.

[Rappy Veteran]

NO LEAK!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Are you going to say its Oscar worthy?

[Pretend]

[Victor Rambo]

Can't wait for 21 August

I have a feeling that this will be the best movie of 2009. :p

[SuperJediMedia]

First off: This is like no other movie you have ever seen. It's ambitious, and entirely original, full of digital effects, flawless executed, in an entirely imaginative world.

At the AVATAR panel, this **** is bonkers! Coolest **** ever! Watching James Cameron speak

Avatar is going to be huge. James Cameron has spent some time on this thing. Footage looks awesome

Just finished watching a full 25 minutes and holy **** it was phenomenal, just amazing. It does indeed look like nothing you've ever seen, it is groundbreaking, it looks incredible. Every single second in this looked real. And most of it was a completely CGI created universe that does not at all look CGI. It is truly amazing!

HOLY **** AVATAR WAS AWESOME!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Minifig]

I am -really- worried about this.

I'm worried it may be too ambitious.

I've never seen a James Cameron movie I haven't liked other than The Abyss and Terminator 3.

[SuperJediMedia]

He didn't direct T3.

[s0nic69]

what is this movie about? looks interesting...
