Cape Town -
Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron have announced that Avatar: Special Edition will be released in theatres August 27th, in a limited engagement and exclusively in Digital 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 in December 2009, the number of available digital 3D screens has exploded, and moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3D will now have that opportunity.
"Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer," James Cameron said.
"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."
The Oscar and Golden Globe winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.7bn in worldwide box office.
