Fox has just sent through the details of the UK home entertainment release of Avatar Extended Edition, which will hit stores on November 15th, just in time for Christmas! The three-disc set will be packed to bursting with features that take us behind-the-scenes of the making of the record-breaking movie, as well as offering even more never-before-seen footage added into the movie, which means there’s three different versions of the film included. There’ll even be a limited edition Blu-ray box set, that’ll cost you £99.99! So without further ado, here’s the full press release, giving details of everything we can expect.
Three-Disc Set of the Worldwide Theatrical And Home Entertainment Phenomenon Contains Even More of the AVATAR Experience with Over Eight Hours of Never-Before-Seen Material and in-depth exploration into the World of Pandora
Director James Cameron is unlocking the secrets of Pandora and taking fans on a guided tour of his vision with the highly anticipated release of AVATAR Extended Collectors Edition on Blu-ray and DVD on 15th November. With three versions of the film, AVATAR fans will get an all-new extended cut of the film, in addition to hours of never-before-seen material including over 45 minutes of amazing deleted scenes.
“I told our team — let’s do the ultimate box set of Avatar, with everything in it the fans could possibly want. There’s an extended length cut that’s sixteen minutes longer, plus documentaries, behind the scenes featurettes, artwork and over 45 minutes of deleted scenes. Everything worth putting into a special edition is in this set,” said James Cameron.
The three-disc AVATAR Extended Collectors Edition Blu-ray and AVATAR Collectors Edition DVD will both feature the original theatrical release, a special edition re-release, and new collectors extended cut with over 15 more minutes including an exclusive alternate opening earth scene. Viewers will have the ability to journey to the far-reaches of Pandora with Capturing Avatar an in-depth feature length documentary covering the 16-year filmmaker journey that includes all new interviews with James Cameron, Jon Landau and cast and crew exploring Camerons unique vision for the film now seen by more than 310 million people worldwide. The Oscar and Golden Globe winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.7 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time. For the ultimate fan, the UK is also releasing a limited run of an Exclusive Collectors Edition Blu-ray Boxset with only 1000 copies available.
The AVATAR Extended Collectors Edition Blu-ray will contain even more bonus material and will provide a compelling interactive viewing experience. Leveraging the unparalleled interactive technology of Blu-ray, fans can dive further into the world of the Navi and experience the international sensation from behind-the-scenes with a master class on the production of the film. Viewers can experience the full film in three stages of production: Performance Capture, Template and Final as well as a composite of all stages in Pandoras Box. This mode is complemented by interviews with James Cameron and the crew and ultimately serves as a complete and enlightening tutorial on the making of AVATAR.
