SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Before he takes moviegoers deep beneath the Pandoran sea, James Cameron hopes they’ll go for an extended tour of the fictional planet he introduced in “Avatar.”
“Avatar: Special Edition,” which includes 9 minutes of new footage, opens in 3-D theaters worldwide today.
“I’m trying to use the technology to keep people interested and enthused about the ‘Avatar’ universe, because it’s going to be a long time before we get another ‘Avatar’ movie done,” the filmmaker said in a recent interview.
Cameron, 56, already has plans for the “Avatar” sequels.
