Avatar – Big Budget Movie

The Hollywood movie Avatar is ready for a release on the 18th of December, and it seems the Indian film audience is going to get a big surprise.

We hear that the first trailer of My Name is Khan will be released along with James Cameron’s Avatar. Both films are being released by Fox Studios. Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar said at an earlier press conference that they were aiming for an international release so starting with the trailer would be fantastic start.

A focus group has already seen a four minute trailer of My Name is Khan and this is what a member of that group wrote on twitter: “I was part of the focus group and today I saw a 4 minute promo of My Name is Khan. I was really really really surprised, very pleasantly, at the simplicity of the story. It seems to be a beautiful and intimate film ala Lynch’s The Straight Story. Shahrukh Khan was heartbreakingly good. I am looking forward to this one now.”

Get ready for the trailer and then to see the story unfold when My Name is Khan releases worldwide on February 12th! We know we will be there!There is less than a month to go before Avatar finally hits the silver screen and the buzz is growing by the day. For the longest time we were being drip-fed information with pictures of the director, James Cameron, in front of green screens on set and all of a sudden there has been a torrent of new information from all corners.

Esteemed directors such as Peter Jackson and Steven Soderbergh, has been extremely positive. It seemed Cameron had pulled it off and realized his visionary dreams of changing cinematography forever.
Avatar is THE Most Anticipated Film of the Year

Avatar The much talked about action adventure science fiction Movie, written and directed by James Cameron will be released worldwide on December 18, 2009.

The problem here is that interest isn’t very high at the moment in the demographic because it hasn’t been very well publicized.  Everyone knew about Transformers, everyone knew about New Moon and more needs to be done, not just in viral and Internet marketing but in advertising as a whole to raise awareness of the film. From cereal boxes and happy meals to glossy magazines and newpapers, people need to be told about this film.

Very few films like Avatar come out. The huge scale of this type of project and the huge budget that accompanies it does not happen very often. Gone with the Wind and Titanic (yet another Cameron film) come to mind as big budget films with big problems, but how long can film studios go on supporting and bankrolling these kinds of films? It’s too early to call Avatar a flop, and I really hope it isn’t because it deserves to be huge, but the question has to be asked…what happens if Avatar cannot recover it’s unconfirmed $300 million dollar budget. This is a huge gamble for 20th Century Fo and kudos to them for making it. They have always been behind Cameron and quite rightly have all sorts of faith in him, but they must be worried despite their claims that they have “No Doubt” the film will make a profit.

The difference with a film like Avatar is that there is a huge potential for other revenue than just Ticket sales. Merchandising can generate a huge amount of money through Toys, Clothes, Books and Video Games. You only need to look at the success Star Wars has had in the retail market to realize the potential, but will Avatar be that kind of film? Will kids want to buy the toys and will adults want to wear the T-Shirts? The recent family-friendly trailer shows that’s what the execs want, but it is difficult to judge at the moment if it will work, since no-one has seen the film. But, if it is as good as it looks, it will cash in.

This year has been the year of the Indie, without a doubt. The small budget, no-name films have been hugely successful, with District 9 and Paranormal Activity being two of the most popular films of the year, with both costing less to make than it does to hire a big star for a leading role. It stands to reason then that this is the year that studios must be asking themselves why they are investing huge amounts in one film for little profit, when they can produce five smaller films with better scripts and innovations for the same price, and get a better return on their money.

There is less than month to go and they need to huge push to recover their money, and I hope they do because I always enjoy the ride that a blockbuster takes you on! It’s going to be an interesting couple of weeks with a lot more news and views waiting to be wrote. I can’t wait to read them, I can’t wait to see the film, but most of all, I can’t wait to see if the next ultra blockbuster gets bankrolled.
