When the AVATAR re-release hits theaters on August 27 get ready for 9 new minutes of never-before-seen footage of life on Pandora. Although Cameron originally planned 8 minutes, the final cut includes 9. One of the deleted scenes includes Tsu-tey's death: "There's a pretty powerful emotional scene at the end which is Tsu'tey's death ... which happens off-camera in the original release. [In the original film] he kind of falls off the back of the shuttle and that's the last that you see of him but here we follow through. We have this emotional scene with Jake [Sully] and Neytiri and some other Na'vi that gather around him in the forest," Cameron said. Cameron also says the additional AVATAR scenes include four major moments, each a few minutes long that center on when the helicopter first lands in the Pandora rainforest. There's also a new creature that turns up: the Sturmbeest. The director also said the scenes that were reinstated in the re-release version are big on non-top action.
Cameron also revealed that he's talked to the studio about shooting Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 sequels back-to-back. “We’re actually talking about [doing 2 and 3] back to back. That’s not a decision yet but that’s something that makes a lot of sense given the nature of these productions because we can bank all the capture and go back and do cameras over a period of time… cause the way these sort of back to back productions fall apart is you’re trying to do two live-action films back to back and you’re working on it for like a year and a half shooting. Everybody’s dead- it’s not humanly possible. But this type of film it absolutely would work.”
Are you excited about the new scenes that Cameron describes? Or were you hoping for something different?

Well I am so thrilled about the re-release of AVATAR...BUT....when and where is the movie going to be playing and what States will it be going to? Here in Las Vegas we have 5 theater complexes that support and have 3D and IMAX. Are they going to announce if it will be playing at the last minute or what? I am getting anxious to know if it will be playing here in Las Vegas or not!!! GRRRRR!

I think Cameron did a great job with his creativeness. We at the http://www.theonlinecostumestore.com loved the movie so much it is one of our featured costumes. I look forward to the next couple of sequels.
