'Avatar' Porn Is Most Expensive Ever
Mon, 06/21/2010 - 08:28 — Jason Van Horn
Most porn is nothing more than two people having sex, and personally speaking, what's wrong with that? Sometimes, however, the people in porn try to do something special, such as doing a parody of a popular film and actually trying to have a story involved. Porn is getting a bit more advanced thanks to Hustler, who will be releasing This Ain't Avatar XXX 3D come this September.
So what's the big deal about this Avatar porn parody? Well, it's the most expensive porn ever made, and it's in 3D too! Oh the things I'd want to see and not see in 3D.

Plans To Re-Release 'Avatar' This Summer?
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 08:14 — Jason Van Horn
Avatar is now on record as the highest-grossing movie of all-time, it just beat The Dark Knight for the most Blu-ray units sold on day one of release, and the movie has the potential to beat out Twilight: New Moon as the best selling DVD/Blu-ray release of the year. Avatar - what are you going to do now?
I'm going to re-release myself in theaters this summer!!! Well...maybe.
"We are certainly hoping to do that this summer," producer Jon Landau said in a group interview in Los Angeles, where he was promoting the DVD and Blu-ray release of Avatar. "We'd have some added scenes in that for people to get exposed to some more backstory we didn't put into this version. I will tell you thematically what we'd like the [scenes] to touch on," Landau said. "We'd like them to touch on some of the backstory that we did not have time to address. We'd like them to touch on exposing people to a little bit more slices of the world of Pandora that they might not have seen, and we'd like to have a little bit more action in there in a couple spots. It'll be a variety of things that deliver on the variety of things that people responded to in the film."
After that re-release in theaters, there's talk of another DVD being released, which won't just add the footage from the re-release, but even more scenes that Cameron didn't/wouldn't want to add to the re-release.
'Avatar' Breaks 1st-Day Blu-ray Record
Mon, 04/26/2010 - 08:39 — Jason Van Horn
Previously, The Dark Knight held the record for the most Blu-ray discs sold on the first day of release, but that record has now been broken by the recent Avatar release, which sold 1.5 million copies. I guess there's no stopping power for the juggernaut that is Avatar. It will be interesting to see if Avatar can eventually topple Twilight Saga: New Moon as the best-selling DVD/Blu-ray of the year. I'm sure the chances are high.
'Avatar' Sequel Will Likely Focus On Planet's Ocean Landscape
Wed, 04/21/2010 - 09:37 — Jason Van Horn
There's still no word on what Cameron's next project will be, but we basically know that Avatar will be coming eventually, so it's just a matter of time now. The big news today about the film is that it will likely focus a great deal on Pandora's oceans, which isn't too surprising considering we didn't really see any of them in the first movie, and then there's always the fact that Cameron has a fascination with water (Titanic, The Abyss, various underwater documentaries).
'Avatar' Releases April 22nd
Wed, 03/17/2010 - 09:48 — Jason Van Horn
Avatar - the biggest movie of all-time - might be setting some new records when the movie releases on DVD and Blu-ray on April 22nd. A 3D enabled version of the film is expected to hit next year when 3D TVs are hopefully more readily available for consumer purchase.
'Robot Chicken' Wants To Spoof 'Avatar' and 'Twilight'
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 08:57 — Jason Van Horn
You can keep your unfunny Family Guy Star Wars spoofs - I'll stick with Robot Chicken's, as they're consistently funnier. Much like what they've done with Star Wars, the gang behind Robot Chicken would also like to tackle Avatar and Twilight in much the same way.
"Mattel made a ton of really sweet Avatar stuff," Seth Green said. "The Twilight stuff we're going to have to make because of the scale. All the Avatar stuff is all similar scale, so we can populate an entire sketch with all of their toys. With Twilight they have to interact with other characters, so the Twilight toys won't work for us."
As for when we might see these projects:
"It'll only be about 10 months," Green said. "We're about seven weeks into writing the fifth season. We've got five episodes down, working on the next five."
Cameron Writing 'Avatar' Prequel Novel?
Thu, 02/18/2010 - 09:47 — Jason Van Horn
Producer Jon Landau, while talking with MTV, revealed that James Cameron is going to be writing a prequel to Avatar. The more surprising news is that he's writing the prequel as a novel.
"Jim is going to write a novel himself," the film's producer, Jon Landau, told us when he stopped by the MTV News studios recently. "Not a novelization — and there is a distinction. A novelization basically retells the story of the movie. Jim wants to write a novel that is a big, epic story that fills in a lot of things. [We] won't have time to do [these stories] in the movie, or maybe in sequels," Landau explained of what Cameron will be writing about. "[So the novel will] give a foundation for the world. It would be something that would lead up to telling the story of the movie, but it would go into much more depth about all the stories that we didn't have time to deal with — like the schoolhouse and Sigourney [Weaver's character] teaching at the schoolhouse; Jake on Earth and his backstory and how he came here; [the death of] Tommy, Jake's brother; and Colonel Quaritch, how he ended up there and all that," Landau explained.
James Cameron Might Not Direct 'Avatar 2'
Wed, 02/10/2010 - 08:47 — Jason Van Horn
Avatar is a huge, monstrous hit, so it's no surprise that the studio is quick to want a sequel for the film. News today has it that James Cameron might not direct the second film himself, as he has some other projects in the work that he might want to do first. One film that could keep him from directing Avatar 2 is his adaptation of Battle Angel Alita, which he's been wanting to do for a while.
"We're still figuring that out," Cameron said. "I love Battle Angel. I've always loved Battle Angel, but a second Avatar film is a possibility, and I've got a couple of other films that I've developed over the last few years as well. So it's all still up in the air."
World Ending - 'Avatar' Drops From Number One Spot
Mon, 02/08/2010 - 08:43 — Jason Van Horn
Avatar just received a bunch of Oscar nominations this week, but that new buzz worthy news didn't help the film enough to keep it at the number one spot. After seven weeks spent at the number one spot, Avatar has finally fallen to second place, ending up right behind the new film Dear John. I guess people like sappy love stories revolving around people being sent off to war...or maybe they're just hoping for a sequel to The Notebook (same author).
First Plot Details For 'Avatar 2'?
Wed, 02/03/2010 - 09:31 — Jason Van Horn
The most successful film of all-time is going to be getting a sequel - well, that's not surprising. It's a little too early to assume anything about a sequel is true, but there are rumors circulating right now about what the second film could be about. Rumor has it that the second film will be a full-blown war between the Na'vi and humans.
Is 'Avatar 2' Already Gearing Up?
Fri, 01/29/2010 - 09:23 — Jason Van Horn
Avatar is the highest-grossing movie of all-time, so of course a sequel is going to be coming. Based on rumors, it seems that Cameron is already gearing up for the sequel, as it's being reported that he's sent out contracts to the technical crew, which would have them attached to the sequel for around three to five years. If this is true, I wouldn't be surprised if he filmed two back-to-back.
'Avatar' Highest Grossing Movie Of All-Time
Tue, 01/26/2010 - 09:19 — Jason Van Horn
It's now official: Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all-time, beating out the number one film, which was James Cameron's very own Titantic.
"Twentieth Century Fox said that the sci-fi epic had amassed an estimated global total box office take of $1.8437 billion, just ahead of Titanic's worldwide total of $1,843,201,268, according to The Hollywood Reporter."
So a new benchmark has been set. It looks like the only thing that might top Avatar is Avatar 2...or whatever big movie comes next from Cameron.
