Apparently, report about director James Cameron not giving approval to the eight "Avatar" trailers was just a mere rumor. In a chat with The Los Angeles Times, 20th Century Fox co-chairman Jim Gianopulos said, "Jim Cameron has never seen any trailer cuts for the simple reason that they haven't gone to him yet."
"While the film's footage is essentially complete, key sequences haven't yet been rendered into the photo-realistic CG images that are now being worked on," Gianopulos continued. "This is the normal sequence of the production and is necessary in order to make a final trailer."
"Avatar" is a live action movie directed, co-produced and written also by the "Titanic" helmer James Cameron. It lines up Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriguez among the cast ensemble.
The 20th Century Fox film will follow an ex-marine as he is 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. It is set to hit the U.S. theaters on December 18, 2009.
