Avatar Day Showtime And Tickets Details

By Russ Fischer/Aug. 12, 2009 3:48 pm EST

The screenings will take place at 6 and 6:30pm on Friday, August 21. The presentation will begin with an introduction from James Cameron, after which will follow sixteen minutes of footage, including some stuff not shown at Comic Con. (The LA Times says sixteen minutes, which contrasts the originally announced 15 minutes. I’ll update to clarify when I know if the presentation will be 15 min of footage and a one-minute intro, or something different.) The Avatar trailer will also hit theatres that day, but the IMAX presentation obviously offers a better look at the visual fireworks Cameron has assembled for his first narrative feature in twelve years.

Avatar Day will also see the public release of the trailer for UbiSoft’s video game based on the film, and the designs of all Mattel’s toys. (One of which, showing Sam Worthington’s Na’vi avatar, was recently leaked and quickly C&D’d away.)
