Avatar teaser trailer

Avatar teaser trailer

Avatar teaser trailer goes live In case you haven't heard, the trailer for James Cameron's eagerly awaited 3D epic Avatar has gone live at the Apple QuickTime Movie Trailers site. Apple seems to be having problems with its site this morning, but keep checking back until it's there — that's all we'll be doing this morning! If you simply can't wait, though, you can see the trailer here (in French, discovered by Cinematical) or a much cruder version here on YouTube (while it lasts!).

Here’s the quick recap: Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) arrives (in his wheelchair) on Pandora. He sees the planet’s beauty and, though him, we’re quickly introduced to the ten-foot tall alien Na’vi avatars. Implanted in his Na’vi body, Jake leads us on an exploration of Pandora. We see Zoe Saldana’s Na’vi character and Jake’s imprinting session with Pandora’s version of a dragon. (Hey Anne McCafferey, did you get a royalty check?) There’s even a glimpse of Pandora at night, and a little bit of the new power suits in action, which weren’t much seen in the Comic Con footage. We don’t see Sigourney Weaver, but do get a glimpse of Drag Me To Hell’s Dileep Rao as one of the Avatar technicians.

After teasing fans with a countdown clock, Apple Trailers failed to deliver the teaser trailer to James Cameron’s Avatar at the advertised time. Whether it was a server crash, an overload or what, I don’t know. What I do know is that whilst Apple failed, MSN managed to get the French trailer up and online on time. Shortly thereafter our friends at Trailer Addict did the same. Fortunately there is only a second of dialogue in the trailer so watching it in French matters very little. Once the high quality English version is available, I’ll update the post, but for now, I know you want it any way you can get it, so check it out after the jump.
