The Hollywood Reporter says James Cameron is in talks with studios to bring a slightly longer version of Avatar to IMAX 3D theaters this summer, reports the New York Times in its Arts, Briefly column.
James Cameron is in discussions with Fox to work out a re-release of the film, possibly with additional scenes that were cut from the original. In New York on Thursday, Imax’s chief executive, Richard L. Gelfond, said that Mr. Cameron had about 40 minutes of extra material. Only about 10 minutes of film could be added, though, to keep under the 170-minute maximum length a movie can be released in analog Imax theaters.
Disney's Alice in Wonderland, which was again at No. 1 for its second weekend in release, replaced Avatar in most 3D Digital and 3D IMAX venues. Avatar's return to 3D theaters could gross it several hundred million dollars more to add to its already record-shattering box-office.
