‘Avatar’ Getting an IMAX Release

James Cameron just keeps making ’em bigger and better. Â  It appears, now, that his next film, ‘Avatar’, is going to get an IMAX 3D release on December 18, 2009 along with the film’s wide release. Â  IMAX Corp. and 20th Century Fox made the announcement on Thursday.

“Our goal with ‘Avatar’ is to revolutionize live-action 3-D movie-making, and I have no doubt that it will look and sound incredible in Imax 3-D,” Cameron said. “The larger field of view and power surround sound of an Imax theater will completely immerse the audience in a way that cannot be experienced anywhere else.”

‘Avatar’ tells the story of an ex-marine who finds himself in the middle of a galactic civil war. Â  It will be Cameron’s first feature film since 1997’s ‘Titanic’.

The film is nearly a year away. Â  We should be getting a teaser trailer any day now, I would hope.
