LOS ANGELES - The record breaking sci-fi epic "Avatar" will rerun in the multiplexes all over the world with eight and half minute of extra footage featuring more action and 3D effect. The movie has already earned record $2.74 billion worldwide box office. And also the much awaited DVD and Blue-ray Disc special editions. The 2D DVD and Blue-ray disc is expected to available at the stores in November. There will be additional 16 minutes of footage. However, the 3D version is still take much time to be released and it is expected to hit the stores next year.
The producer Jon Landau told reporters that new footage includes action sequences and narrative deepening extensions of key scenes.
"We tried to look at what people have responded to in the film and give them more of that," Landau said. "There's a whole new scene that takes place in the (Na'vi) school, there's more night bioluminescence, there's new creatures, and there is a new action scene. The scenes don't just feel like added scenes -- they are very organic to the story and embellish it." Landau said.
Fox domestic distribution chief Bruce Snyder said that the additional scenes will make the audience a new feel and fans are obviously want to go back to Pandora.
The movie will rerun on 800 U.S and Canadian theaters, including almost 125 Imax venues, though they will play the movie not more than 2 weeks. Director James Cameron shot most of the scenes using Imax cameras and Imax venues alone fetched $236 million worldwide.
The new improved "Avatar" will also released worldwide on more than 1,000 locations in 14 countries including the U.K, Russia and Taiwan. The movie theatrical version will be shown in other countries as well such as Japan who set to show super-sized "Avatar" in October.
