James Cameron's AVATAR

Okay. Preface this by saying, first of all, that I am incredibly excited about Shyamalan's Avatar: The Last Airbender.

However, that isn't going to be in 3D.

And James Cameron makes EPIC films. CONSISTENTLY.

WITH THAT NOTE, I have just been looking up his new film, the trailer of which was just released by Apple today.

Oddly, the IMDb page was far less informative concerning this film than it usually is, so I was forced to search the internet for other sources.

Official movie websites include the Fox website, and there is also an official Avatar Twitter page, but, again, neither tells much about the film or storyline, though one hopes that will change closer to the release date.

However once you get away from the official websites, you find a great article done by a UK film and review site Empire which, awesomely enough, breaks down the trailer scene-by-scene and tells you quite a bit about the storyline.

Upon further research, the Telegraph featured a short blurb about it a few days ago, and Slashfilm did a lovely article/expose on Monday summarizing the current knowledge about the film's storyline, which is the longer version of the trailer breakdown as well as the partial insights of the author (and hints of huge storyline sequels and developments to come even post-release).

Besides these scant sources, however, the remainder of the Internet is filled with conjecture and rumours. This project, while years in the making, has apparently still succeeded in staying very much hushed. It's fascinatingly mysterious, and the trailer does indeed look epic - I've already watched it a dozen times - and the 3D aspect makes the treat all the more tantalizing. This is the first film in a long time I'm excited enough about to not want to wait the few months until it's released in theatres.
