A Handful of ‘Avatar’ Pics to Prepare You for the Trailer

We are mere hours away from the online debut of the trailer for James Cameron’s ‘Avatar.’   It’s been 12, long years, and, judging by what people saw at Comic Con, Cameron hasn’t been resting on his laurels this whole time.   Up until now, we really haven’t seen much from the film, but, this week, we’ve already had one, official still released from the film.   That one featured star Sam Worthington as the paraplegic war veteran, Jake Sulley, and the creepy Na’vi he fuses his consciousness with in order to survive the harsh conditions of the planet Pandora.

Today’s batch of images offers up a little bit of everything.   There’s a behind-the-scenes shot, a aerial shot that look ten times cooler than anything found in ‘Attack of the Clones,’ and even a shot of Michelle Rodriguez looking to act all Vasquez on some alien ass.

Check them out:

And, yes, Giovanni Ribisi reminds us a bit of Carter Burke, and Stephen Lang’s Col. Quaritch looks like he’s gonna be a hard-ass just like Apone.   The ‘Aliens’ similarities stop there.   At least, us pointing them all out stops there.

‘Avatar’ is set to hit theaters and IMAX on December 18th.   The trailer is set to debut later on today.   Be sure to check back for your first look at it right here.
