James Cameron's "Avatar" To Hit Blu-Ray And DVD In April
James Cameron’s mega successful sci-fi flick “Avatar” will be released on Blu-ray and DVD come April. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is set to release the top grossing film for home viewing audiences worldwide.
On April 22, Earth Day, fans in the U.S. and Canada will be able to revisit and rediscover the magic of the highest grossing film of all time in the comforts of their own homes. Since its theatrical release in December, “Avatar” dominated the box office records, even beating Cameron’s other megahit “Titanic” for the highest grossing film title with $2.6 billion in worldwide box office. The film – starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sigourney Weaver – tells the story of a paraplegic former Marine who, taking over from his twin brother, enters a scientific project that uses an avatar to interact with the humanoid species called Na’vi in the planet Pandora. His mission is to lure the Na’vis away from their home base in order for his fellow humans to mine a precious mineral called unobtanium. But things get complicated when he learns to love the race as his own. “Avatar” will be available on Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. and Canada on April 22.
