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?

And on the heels of the Cameron ?Avatar? announcement, M. Night Shyamalan and Paramount are planning their own ?Avatar,? a movie based on the popular Nickelodeon kid?s TV series, Variety reported. The filmmaker has signed a three-picture deal with Paramount?s MTV Films and Nick Movies to adapt the animated ?Avatar: The Last Airbender? show for the big screen. He will write, direct and produce the potential kid?s franchise. The film version will be live action. Nick TV?s ?Avatar,? which is set in an Asian-influenced fantasy world permeated by martial arts and magic, follows the adventures of the successor to a long line of Avatars who must put aside his irresponsible ways and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations.
