see you at the movies

LOS ANGELES, November 16, 2009 -  AVATAR: MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE,  the official score album companion to Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron’s epic motion picture adventure, will be released digitally and physically December 15th (available internationally on December 14th), from Atlantic Records. Pre-orders begin at www.atlanticrecords.com/store on November 16th.  The film’s World Premiere will take place  at the Odeon and Leicester Square cinemas in London on December 10th and Twentieth Century Fox will release AVATAR in theatres everywhere on December 18th.
 
The album, which features music composed and conducted by Academy Award®-winner James Horner (Titanic), will be highlighted by the film’s end title song, “I See You (Theme from AVATAR),” performed by multiple Grammy® Award-nominated singer Leona Lewis, and produced by James Horner and Simon Franglen, the team behind Titanic’s blockbuster theme song, “My Heart Will Go On.”  A companion video directed by Jake Nava (Beyoncé, Shakira) is currently in production.
 
A live action film with a new generation of special effects, AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home. James Cameron first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
 
AVATAR stars Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation), Zoë Saldana (Star Trek), Michelle Rodriguez (Lost, Fast & Furious), and Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Galaxy Quest).  The film is written by James Cameron and produced by Cameron and Jon Landau.
