James Cameron's "Avatar" Thread v.4

[Monsieur Xavier]

it means swearing will be removed

Hi,

Thanks but what is a Familly Audio track ? Commentaries from the actors/producers/filmmaker ?

 

[WarBlade]

"Family friendly" is this thing they have in some parts of North America where it's okay to watch people getting riddled with bullets, but if they hear words like, "Damn!" they clap their hands over their ears and run to the nearest priest to avoid burning in hell for all eternity. Any mention of genitalia or sexual acts and their brains basically just explode on the spot.

Meanwhile the on-screen violence gets applauded. It's best not to worry about it really.

But in the interests of giving you a practical answer for your audio selection, you can view it like audio track settings:

• Dolby Digital 5.1
• Dolby Stereo
• Mono

There's one there that sane people never click on, unless they're drunk and doing it for a giggle. Just think of "Family" as something like "Mono" and you'll be fine.

you definitely have a point, but most of us dont' care about cursing either

Also remember, Avatar was:

Directed by a Canadian
Starring an Australian
and beautifully rendered by an army of New Zealand's artists.

but none of them would have done anything if wasn't bankrolled with cold hard American cash.

Avatar Extended Collector's Edition Coming Nov. 16

20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has released the specs for its Avatar Extended Collector's Edition, coming to Blu-ray and DVD on November 16. Here is the full press release:

Director James Cameron is unlocking the secrets of Pandora and taking fans on a guided tour of his vision with the highly anticipated release of AVATAR Extended Collector's Edition on Blu-ray and DVD releasing November 16th in North America and rolling out internationally from November 15th. These exclusive Extended Collector's Editions come with iconic, collectible packaging to get fans to experience Pandora like never before. With three versions of the film, AVATAR fans will get an all-new extended cut of the film and hours of never-before seen material including over 45 minutes of amazing deleted scenes!

"I told our team --- let's do the ultimate box set of Avatar, with everything in it the fans could possibly want. There's an extended length cut that's sixteen minutes longer, plus documentaries, behind the scenes featurettes, artwork and over 45 minutes of deleted scenes. Everything worth putting into a special edition is in this set," said James Cameron.

The three-disc AVATAR Extended Collector's Edition Blu-ray and Theatrical Special Edition Re-Release DVD will both feature the original theatrical release, a special edition re-release, family audio track with all objectionable language removed and new collector's extended cut with sixteen more minutes including an exclusive alternate opening Earth scene. Viewers will journey to the depths of Pandora with filmmakers during "Capturing Avatar" an in-depth feature length documentary covering the 16 year filmmaker journey including all new interviews with James Cameron, Jon Landau and cast and crew exploring James Cameron's unique vision for the film seen by more than 310 million people worldwide. The Oscar and Golden Globe winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.7 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time.

The AVATAR Extended Collector's Edition Blu-ray will also have even more bonus material and interactive viewing. Through the unparalleled, interactive technology of Blu-ray, fans can dive further into the world of the Na'vi and experience the #1 international sensation from behind the scenes, with a "master class" on the production of the film. Leveraging the interactivity of Blu-ray, viewers can experience the full film in three stages of production: Performance Capture, Template (1990's video game version) and Final as well as a composite of all stages in "Pandora's Box". This will be supported with interviews by Jim Cameron and the filmmakers and serve as a "master class" on the making of AVATAR.

Can't wait to see the movie with the original opening. Wonder what other new footage is in as well.

edit: lol! DVD gets screwed, with the movie spread over 2 discs

well you can read what else they add in with the script

nah I think people will be pleased over the dvd this time, it has almost the same amount of extras as the bluray. Im shocked that of all people Fox would work on the dvd and not giving the bare bones (but then again they did release the bare bones dvd and bluray early this year)

 

[Donut]

I hope Amazon has that Blu-Ray during Black Friday sales. I will wait before I buy that Blu-Ray on Release Day t:

I read the script, but I meant the new extended cut, theres no indication as to what other new scenes there are, so Im curious.

The deleted scenes are going to be great though. In that video posted above, you can actually see the CG animal interacting with the scene, albeit unfinished CG from the template, but thats a huge step above any other movies deleted scenes I can think of.

 

[Bim]

And you find this funny why?!

Dork

I hate it that we never get all the same features as blu-ray but oh well. At least this release looks to be better than the TDK dvd (yes, i`m still bitter over that one). *crosses her fingers she will be happy with the bonus features in this set*

 

[Passdom]

Im just teasing. I know the feeling as I didnt get into DVD right away and was still stuck with VHS!

I believe they prefer the family option because violence is fake...cussing isn't fake. You can't fake words being said. Kind of like if a movie has nudity and violence in it...violence isn't real...but when a person is naked on screen, obviously it's not faked.

I don't use it myself...but I certaintly understand the need for the option.

Hi,

It is a matter of point of view / culture. As far as I am concerned cussing words or nudity in a movie as are fake as violence because they are not true, it is an act, a play but again I am French and flesh ( no talking about porn ) isn't as issue for "us" / me ( we can see boobs in soap commercial by example ).
Also I think you can fake nudity, Jessica Alba naked butt in Machete ( the shower scene ) was CGI ( she wore a flesh underware that was doctored ). This is a third hand info so I can't prove it.
IMO, this family audio track thing is a "violation" of the filmmaker vision.

Anyway, I am excited by Avatar BR release, this movie is the reason I will buy a BR player.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Is this coming out in the UK on Nov 16th as well?

 

[Passdom]

Love the animal faces on the breathing masks

 

[redhawk23]

he looks way cooler with hair.

 

[redhawk23]

also i'm cool with it movie being split in two halves, no different than the lord of the rings extended editions.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Ooooooo Asian chicks!!!!!!

 

[Ipodman]

So there's no family audio for the extended cut?

 

[ironwez20]

Why is he the only one no wearing a funky looking animal mask.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Why is he the only one no wearing a funky looking animal mask.

Symbolism!!!! Irony!!!!!!

 

[ironwez20]

Lmao. True.

 

[Passdom]

Why is he the only one no wearing a funky looking animal mask.

Because he doesn't give a sh** about himself. The Earth opening pretty much illustrates that Jake no longer has a life worth living on Earth anymore, or at least that is how he feels.
