This lavishly illustrated film companion takes the reader on a journey into the magical world of Pandora, to get closer to the landscapes, creatures and characters of James Cameron's blockbuster epic, AVATAR. This is the only adult tie-in book to what many are already describing as the cinematic event of 2009. Marking James Cameron's first film since 1997's Titanic, Avatar is set to be the most exciting film of 2009 but also a major milestone in movie history. Using state of the art technology, Cameron and producer John Landau have created an entire world — Pandora — and realized it in a way never before possible. For the first time ever, 3-D effects conjure up a world every bit as real as the one we inhabit. Yet the world of Pandora is unlike anything we've experienced — ten foot blue humanoids wander peacefully amidst a world of flying mountains, phosphorescent forests and unimaginable vistas. This is a perfect tie-in book, offering a stunning companion to this cutting-edge masterpiece, featuring a comprehensive look at the fictional world created for the film, including flora, fauna, planets, and more. AVATAR will be the most unique, engaging universe ever realized on film and the AVATAR FIELD GUIDE is the perfect guide to that world as well as the only resource for fans who are left wanting more. AVATAR is a genre-bending blend of sci-fi action-adventure and a timeless, emotional and personal story of redemption and revolution. The talent is exceptional, featuring Sam Worthington, the hot young star of Terminator Salvation, Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, and Michelle Rodriguez, among others. An epic story, the Cameron brand, and fantastic visuals! This promises to be the must-see film of 2009, and for any fans of the film this will be the ultimate self and gift purchase. Подробнее

In the futuristic world of Avatar, Jake, a wounded ex-marine, is thrust into an elaborate scheme to mine an exotic planet for its rare and valuable natural resources. Scientists have created Avatars — a body designed to look like the planet's alien inhabitants that have to be operated by a human consciousness. Walking in his Avatar body, Jake finds himself drawn to the planet's way of life. But as the threat of war grows ever closer, Jake finds himself torn between his human roots and the new friends that he wants to protect. This is a stunning, full-colour companion featuring a comprehensive look at the fictional world created for the film, including flora, fauna, planets, and more. Cameron has spent years developing a new technology that allows him to create much more realistic CG environments in incredible 3D. Avatar is shot in 3D with both live-action and virtual cameras, creating an innovative blend of CGI and live-action footage! Visual effects are being created by Oscar-winning SFX house Weta Digital the company behind The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Подробнее
