James Cameron wants to take you back to Pandora for an extended stay – but only in 3-D.
Avatar: Special Edition, with eight minutes of extra footage promising a look at exotic new beasts roaming the movie's alien world, will hit theaters Aug. 27 for a limited run in Digital 3D and Imax 3D.
"Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer," Cameron said Friday in a press release. "So we're making that possible. Avatar: Special Edition will be exclusively in 3-D, and will have eight minutes of never-before-seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you've never seen it, with this special edition, you'll be seeing it like never before."
The sci-fi movie, which became the world's all-time box office champ thanks to a potent mix of masterful storytelling, eye-popping action and immersive 3-D, also holds the record for Blu-ray sales.
