AVATAR Official Site Gives Us a Nice Shot of a Cliff

There has been a barrage of footage from Cameron’s upcoming AVATAR.   So much so, in fact, in the last few months that some of us are starting to dream about cat-like Smurfs.   It’s creepy, really.   We are going to have even more footage thrust upon us this coming Sunday, as 20th Century Fox announced today they will be showing the new, 3 1/2-minute trailer on Cowboy Stadium’s Diamond Vision Screen, the world’s largest video display.   Thanks to Coming Soon for pointing this out to us.

So, it’s somewhat strange when you consider the film’s official website, which went live today.

Let me ask you this.   Does this shot excite you?

If not, then don’t worry about clicking on it.   It will just take you to AVATAR’s homepage, which is just what you see, a shot of a cliff with an embedded link re-directing you to the trailer housed on Yahoo!.   In fact, maybe this is a good thing.   With all the footage we have been seeing for this film, maybe they have decided to take a subtle approach on the website, just offering us a logo and a simple, exquisite shot.

Of course, I’m sure all of that will change, and, before you know it, you will be able to control your own N’avi via the site.   There will be a thousand hours of production footage.   All will be right in the Jim Cameron world.   For now, just enjoy the subtlety a little bit.

AVATAR hits theates on December 16th, but I’m sure you already had that tidbit of information drilled into your brain.
