First Official Still From Avatar!

It’s finally here! Although the trailer will be online in about a week (next Friday), Fox has released the first official production photo from James Cameron’s Avatar featuring Sam Worthington and his Avatar (in the background). Thanks to our friends at SlashFilm for first discovering this, as it’s a very big reveal. Those of us who were at Comic-Con and saw the footage (including the scene that this is from) know all about the Avatars, but for everyone else in the world, this is their first look at James Cameron’s world and at least one of the creatures that you’ll find on Pandora. Without further ado, check out the first Avatar photo below!

Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine (Sam Worthington) who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. This is from a scene early on where Worthington enters a lab and meets his Avatar for the first time and goes through the procedure to integrate his mind into it. The only hint I’ll give you about the rest of the movie is that most of it follows Jake Sully (seen above) as this other creature on the planet of Pandora.
