Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman said Monday that James Cameron will start virtual photography on the sci-fi epic ?Avatar? in April, with live-action photography commencing in August, for a summer 2009 release, says The Hollywood Reporter. It will be filmed in a new digital 3-D format for release in 3-D. The director already has spent years in R&D on the multiple processes needed to create a $190 million hybrid of live action and animation, which he vowed will never pass the $200 million mark. ?I?ve been the busiest unemployed director in Hollywood,? he said. ?We?re going to blow you to the back wall of the theater in a way you haven?t seen for a long time. My goal is to rekindle those amazing mystical moments my generation felt when we first saw ?2001: A Space Odyssey,? or the next generation?s ?Star Wars.? It took me 10 years to find something hard enough to be interesting.? Yeah, but will you still have to wear goofy glasses?
