Behold: Physical Proof that an ‘Avatar’ Trailer is Coming

Avatar Trailers

For the longest time I have been very skeptical about this project from director James Cameron, this ridiculously out there sci-fi epic known as Avatar. And by skeptical, I mean that there has been so much said about the film with very little physical evidence that I was beginning to wonder if it even existed, or if it was just something that we in the media were making up in our minds. As it turns out, the film does exist and trailer is likely to be headed to our local cineplexes sometime this winter. As MarketSaw reports, actual 35mm canisters containing a 2:57 trailer have been spotted (and subsequently photographed, see above) in the offices of 20th Century Fox. The most likely path for these trailer would be to run in front of Fox’s 2008 sci-fi epic remake The Day the Earth Stood Still, which hits theaters on December 12th.

Of course there has been no official word from the studio — we will let you know if that changes.

  • This is great news! I was also starting to think that the movie was just one sick joke on the public lol. Now I have a reason to see the day the earth stood still even though I think it's going to suck

    Well now this is interesting. A trailer at 2:57. Theaters only allow for trailers to be 2:30 minutes long, but allow for a distributor or studio to exceed that time once per year.

    If 2:57 is the length of the trailer, this suggests that Fox sees Avatar as something worth backing.

    Just a thought.
