Cameron's
blockbuster
film
Avatar
is
all
set
to
re-release
in
a
new
version
called
Avatar:
Special
Edition
across
theatres
worldwide
(including
India).
Avatar:
Special
Edition
will
be
released
on
August
27,
in
a
limited
engagement
and
exclusively
in
Digital
3D
and
IMAX
3D.
This
version
of
Cameron's
history-making
and
groundbreaking
epic
will
include
more
than
eight
minutes
of
new
footage.
Since
-
and
largely
as
a
result
of
--
Avatar's
release
last
December,
the
number
of
available
digital
3D
screens
has
exploded,
and
moviegoers
who
missed
experiencing
the
film
in
3D
will
now
have
that
opportunity.
Commented
James
Cameron,
"Audiences
repeatedly
told
me
they
wanted
more
of
Pandora,
and
wished
they
could
have
stayed
there
longer.
So
we're
making
that
possible.
Avatar:
Special
Edition
will
be
exclusively
in
3D,
and
will
have
eight
minutes
of
never
before
seen
footage,
including
new
creatures
and
action
scenes.
Whether
you
already
love
the
movie,
or
you've
never
seen
it,
with
this
Special
Edition,
you'll
be
seeing
it
like
never
before."
Commented
Fox
Filmed
Entertainment
Chairmen
and
CEO's,
Jim
Gianopulos
and
Tom
Rothman:
"Avatar:
Special
Edition
is
especially
gratifying,
because
not
only
has
Avatar
become
one
of
the
most
beloved
films
in
history,
but
after
its
initial
theatrical
release,
we
have
been
inundated
with
requests
to
re-release
the
film
in
theatres
in
3D.
Equally
important,
we're
thrilled
that
James
Cameron
is
able
to
give
audiences
even
more
of
what
they
loved
about
Avatar."
Mr.
Vijay
Singh,
CEO,
Fox
Star
Studios
India,
said,
"The
re-release
of
Avatar
along
with
the
additional
footage
will
enable
millions
of
Indians
to
once
again
experience
the
magic
of
the
film
in
3D.
And
with
the
significant
growth
of
3D
screens
over
the
last
6
months,
we
are
excited
that
Avatar
will
also
reach
out
to
new
audiences
in
3D
across
many
more
centres
around
the
country"
The
Oscar
and
Golden
Globe
winning
epic
is
the
highest
grossing
film
of
all
time,
raking
in
over
$2.7
billion
in
worldwide
box
office.
It
is
also
the
top-selling
Blu-ray
disc
of
all
time.
With
the
film
now
coming
out
in
a
special
edition,
it's
quite
certain
that
fans
will
be
more
than
eager
to
once
again
take
a
trip
to
Pandora.
