Avatar featurette screening
James Cameron has been pretty quiet since that movie called Titanic. We haven't really heard from him much, but finally he has his first movie since the 1997 classic. Yes, it has been 12 years.
The movie is Avatar, a project he has been conceptualizing for a long long time (to the point he has asked to change the title of the movie version of Nickelodeon's Avatar: the Last Airbender (which features the guy from Slumdog Millionaire).).
I was given the opportunity to watch a snippet from the movie (Thanks to RX 93.1, especially Francesca). The limited showing was held in the newest IMAX located in SM North EDSA. Come to think of it, it was the first time I would be watching in an IMAX facility.
I was with my fellow bloggers who watched the 16-minute screening (and teaser trailer).
There were three screenings of the feature, at least two were radio station sponsored. I managed to get in the earlier screening before the screening I was scheduled to watch.
As for the contents, James prefaced it by saying no plot spoilers will be revealed and asked us to enjoy the show. And yes, I did. Nothing beats watching a movie with good company.
Those who watched the RX screening after me sure would agree with that statement.
