Avatar, expected to release next month, is Fox's most expensisve film yet. Directed by James Cameron, the same director who directed Titanic, this movie is suspected to be worth the price. The final cost may add up to more than 300 million dollars to maket this film. James Gianopulos, co-chairman and CEO of Fox Filmed Entertainment, stated that the film is well worth the money so he wasn't too shook up about the cost. Cameron has quite a reputation for high budget films that result in high grossing films at the box office. He even won an Oscar for Titanic back in 1997. It is said that Cameron has had the idea for this movie in his mind for over 10 years and has just been waiting around for the technology to catch up to his storyline so that he could make the movie exactly the way he pictured it. Cameron even invented part of the technology a computer-generated image with live action. Gianopulos reasures by stating that films of this magnitude that attract such a large global audience, are typically more expensive because of the new technological advances they include. Avatar is also in 3D. Gianopulos says that the majority of the movies Fox will produce in the future will also be 3D and he predicts that movie theaters everywhere will begin to put more and more 3D screens into their theaters because eventually it will be the norm.
I think that this movie is going to just about meet Fox's expectations. I'm not quite sure if it will make tons of money just because the budget was so big. A lot of theaters still don't have 3D screens either so I don't think the movie will be as good on regular screens or appear as it's supposed to so not as many people will think it is as epic as the producers are expecting it to be. Video games are really popular these days though and this movie will definately attract those who are into the new technology, special effects and graphics of the movie. I think that I will go see it just to see if it measures up to the 300 million they spent making it.
