Avatar Extended Collectors Edition Blu-ray includes 3D Easter Egg
If you've snagged this week's Avatar Extended Collector's Edition on blu-ray even though you're really waiting for it to come out in 3D, you're in luck. AVSForum poster josephcoatar discovered that by fiddling with the menus, you can unlock an Easter Egg that pops up two 3D special features, the three and a half minute extended theatrical trailer and a four minute "Pandora Discovered" featurette. Even if you do plan on getting your hands on the Panasonic-exclusive 3D release this year, you can cut the waiting down by going to "Live Extras" in the main menu of disc three, pressing down, and slipping on some 3D glasses.
Fans pick Avatar Extended Collector's Edition special feature to be revealed early
Just can't wait for Tuesday to get yet another peek at one of the many special features included on the Avatar Extended Collector's Edition Blu-ray? Check the embedded video for a featurette and the deleted scene "New Life," we figure with eight hours of new material Fox figured revealing drips and drabs all over the internet wouldn't spoil things too much.
Cameron says the Avatar extended edition Blu-ray is the last 2D release left... for reals
Wondering when the Avatar Blu-ray release madness might end? Well James Cameron thankfully clarified at a recent press event that the Avatar extended edition Blu-ray on November 16th will be the last 2D, 1080p, iteration of his Blue Man Group epic before the 3D version arrives. He also slightly adjusted his previous November 3D Blu-ray release predictions made during a Wall Street Journal interview -- stating vaguely that the highly-anticipated format would instead arrive "maybe one, [or] two years out." That's much more in line with statements made by his Fox handlers (coincidence?) and now leaves Panasonic as the only party still claiming their anointed 3DTV owners will bring the Avatar 3D Blu-ray "experience" home sometime this year. Still, while we certainly don't know who at this point would fail the polygraph, we're not Na'vi enough to ignore how Panny's time line helps attract consumers to buy 3DTVs over the holiday season. As with most rumors though, only time will tell who in this debacle had the date right, so for now we'll content ourselves watching the Alien Anthology.
Avatar: Extended Edition Blu-ray release date and specs are finally official - Update: Trailer, pre-order link
Just in case you didn't get enough Avatar when it hit DVD and Blu-ray earlier this year, Fox has officially announced it's returning for a double-dip with the Extended Collectors Edition, packing eight hours of new material into a three disc Blu-ray or DVD set. James Cameron says the team included "everything in it the fans could possibly want" (at least, until the 3D version ships with Panasonic TVs or finally hits retail some time next year.) Disc on includes the theatrical version, special edition and Collector's Extended cut with 16 extra minutes and alternate opening scene, plus a "family audio track" with all the naughty words left out. Disc two is devoted to a long documentary on the movie and its creators, deleted scenes and production materials, while disc three holds bonuses like a BD-Live portal, interactive scene deconstruction and more. Check all the details after the break and get your blue, tailed bodysuit ready for the November 16 release date and $54.99 MSRP (international release dates are after the break.) Update: And there goes the Amazon pre-order link ($35.99)
