The very 1st teaser trailer of AVATAR featuring breathtaking environments.
In December 2006, Cameron described Avatar as "a futuristic tale set on a planet 200 years hence an old-fashioned jungle adventure with an environmental conscience [that] aspires to a mythic level of storytelling."The January 2007 press release described the film: "Avatar is also an emotional journey of redemption and revolution. It is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in biodiversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival," and "We're creating an entire world, a complete ecosystem of phantasmagorical plants and creatures, and a native people with a rich culture and language."

Cast

* Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, "a paralyzed retired Marine who undergoes an experiment to exist as an avatar, another version of himself . . . an alien 10 feet (three meters) tall and blue." Sully is able to be part of the alien world in his avatar, a genetically engineered biological body that can be remotely operated by a human consciousness. Director James Cameron cast the Australian actor after searching the world for promising young actors, preferring relative unknowns to keep the budget down. Worthington auditioned twice early in development,[8] and he has signed on for possible sequels.[5] Cameron felt because Worthington had not done a major film, he was "game for anything", giving the character "a quality that is really real. He has that quality of being a guy you'd want to have a beer with, and he ultimately becomes a leader who transforms the world."

* Zoe Saldana as an alien Jake initially betrays, but eventually falls in love with. The character will be entirely computer generated. SaldaƱa has also signed on for sequels.

* Sigourney Weaver as Grace, a botanist who mentors Jake Sully.Weaver dyed her hair red for the part. Her character was named "Shipley" at one point. The character reminded Weaver of Cameron himself, being "very driven and very idealistic".

* Michelle Rodriguez as Trudy Chacon, a retired Marine pilot. Rodriguez has said her character will die in the film] Cameron had wanted to work with Rodriguez since seeing her in Girlfight (2000).

* Giovanni Ribisi as Selfridge, a passive-aggressive character.

* CCH Pounder as Moha, the Na'vi queen.

* Stephen Lang as a Marine Corps colonel. Lang had unsuccessfully auditioned for a role in Cameron's Aliens (1986); the director remembered Lang and cast him in Avatar.

* Joel David Moore as an anthropologist who studies plant and nature life (like Weaver's character).

* Matt Gerald as the main villain.
