AceShowbiz - Less than a month before "Avatar" world premiere on December 10, "around thirty minutes of the movie remain incomplete", producer John Landau said. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, the filmmaker claimed the scenes need work ranging from sound mixing through color timing along with visual effects. Moreover, Landau argued that there is "little meaningful difference between principal photography and special effects."
If there is a thing that can relieve the problem, digital visual effects company Weta has completed their work on the film, MarketSaw reported. Beside the New Zealand based company, there are six other FX houses involved in the making of the James Cameron's sci-fi movie project. However, it is not known whether or not those companies have wrapped their parts of the film.
First conceived by James Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision had not yet existed, "Avatar" will take the audience to a spectacular new world beyond imagination. The story revolves around Jake Sully, a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth.
Unwittingly being recruited to become part of Avatar program which will give him a chance to walk again, Jake travels to the distant moon Pandora. Using his Avatar body, Jake goes on a scouting mission and falls in love with a young Na'vi woman, Neytiri. As he gets closer with 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.
Sam Worthington stars as Jake Sully, Zoe Saldana as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as botanist Dr. Grace Augustine, Stephen Lang as Marine Corps Colonel Quaritch, Michelle Rodriguez as retired Marine pilot Trudy Chacon, and many others. This 20th Century Fox film is slated to hit U.S. theaters on December 18.
