The drips of information concerning the second home release of James Cameron's Avatar have finally turned into a flood, as the official announcement has been made that the set will be released in the UK and the USA on the 15th and 16th November respectively. It's pretty much as we expected, but here are the confimred specifications of the three-disc set anyway:
Disc One.
Theatrical cut.Special Edition re-release.Collector's Extended Cut with 16 more minutes of footage including an alternative opening sequence.A 'family audio track' which removes 'objectionable' language from the theatrical version and the Special Edition. I found Sam Worthington objectionable, perhaps it will remove him too?Disc Two.
Capturing Avatar. A feature length documentary previously rumoured to be two-and-a-half hours long.Deleted Scenes. A total of 45 minutes of material.Production Material.Disc Three.
Pandora's Box. Featurettes explaining the filmaking process.Interactive Scene Deconstruction. Explore the various stages of production, with three different viewing modes.Production Shorts. Seventeen featurettes on the score, the performance capture, the 3D, the stunts and more besides.Avatar Archives. Printed material including the 300-page screenplay.BD-Live.The movie will be presented in 2.35:1 and 1080p, plus it will have a DTS-HD Master Audio track. The cover art that was leaked a while ago has indeed made it on to the final edition, and while in the promo picture it appears to be a digipack, the Play.com pre-order page shows a standard case with a sleeve. It's up for £17.99, or around $35, with most major online retailers.
The UK also has a three disc limited edition coming, although at £99.99, you're going to have to be a serious fan to invest. For your one hundred notes you get the same three disc Blu-ray, plus a film cell signed by James Cameron and a Making of Avatar book, all inside a new solid box. Each appears to have a numbered plaque on the front too. This is going to be limited to just 1000 copies, so you best get your pre-order in soon if you want this one on your shelf!
