'Avatar' Extended Edition Cming on Blu-ray and DVD in November



James Cameron's acclaimed (and box office mega-hit) Avatar will be released as an Extended Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment November 15 internationally, with the North American versions out a day later, November 16. 
Avatar (Three-Disc Extended Collector's Edition + BD-Live) [Blu-ray]The various all-new extended cut of the film and hours of never-before seen material including over 45 minutes of deleted scenes.
"I told our team --- let's do the ultimate box set of Avatar, with everything in it the fans could possibly want, said Cameron. "There's an extended length cut that's sixteen minutes longer, plus documentaries, behind the scenes featurettes, artwork and over 45 minutes of deleted scenes.  Everything worth putting into a special edition is in this set."  
 The three-disc Extended Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and Theatrical Special Edition Re-Release DVD will both feature the original theatrical release, a special edition re-release, a family audio track with all objectionable language removed and the new collector’s extended cut with sixteen more minutes including an exclusive alternate opening Earth scene. 
Special features include “Capturing Avatar“ a feature length documentary tracing the 16 years it took to make the film and including new interviews with Cameron, Jon Landau and cast and crew. 
The Blu-ray edition will include interactive features, such as a “master class” on the production of the film and three stages of production:  Performance Capture, Template (1990’s video game version) and Final as well as a composite of all stages in “Pandora’s Box”. 
Now some fans of film may utter "I have to buy it again for the bonus stuff and extra scenes?" while others will anticipate the collector's edition release.
