Avatar dropped in December, and has been a worldwide box office smash. Now, for the few who have yet to see it or the ones that love it so much, you can own it later this year ... November to be exact.
Director James Cameron revealed to MTV this week that the huge sci-fi flick will hit stores on DVD, and in 3D, later this year, with a special edition following sometime later.
"We're going to put Avatar out probably in November on 3D -- bare bones, just the movie -- and then we'll follow up with some kind of special edition later down the line," he told the network.
By the time the DVD is released, major electronics manufacturers should have 3D home theater systems available for purchase, so you can watch Avatar just like viewers did in theaters.
Cameron went on to reveal to MTV that the film's DVD version is expected to include around five to six minutes of "finished, theatrical-release-quality deleted scenes" and 15 minutes of other footage.
He said the unfinished 15 minutes of footage will kinda look like a "cheesy video game," but you can see where the scenes started before they were finished out.
Cameron said the deleted scenes will include stuff that focuses on the Na'vi humanoids of Pandora. While he loved the scenes, he said it sorta bogged down the already lengthy film.
"It's all wonderful stuff, but it was sort of bogging down the middle section of the movie," Cameron said. "So there's plenty for a value-added DVD experience on this film. Of course, we'll have to go punch it all up and get it all mixed and stuff like that."
