On the final day of ShoWest, Avatar producer Jon Landau talked to the press about the upcoming Avatar DVD/Blu-ray, what’s the status of Avatar 2, the re-release of Avatar in theaters, deleted scenes being put back into the movie, and 3D.
The main points were:
- They are focusing on the special edition Blu-ray as the place for deleted scenes to go back into the movie. They don’t want 5 or 10 second clips. They want to find entire scenes to put back in.
- Said they are only going to make Avatar 2 if Cameron writes a script they are happy with.
- Nothing is certain about an Avatar re-release in theaters.
- Not sure what they are doing next.
