Giovanni Ribisi joins Avatar
Character actor will play Selfridge, a 'passive agressive' in James Cameron's near $200 million epic.
Giovanni Ribisi has joined the cast of James Cameron's Avatar, playing a character named Selfridge who is described as being a 'passive agressive'. The near $200 million epic which will see Cameron's return to film after over a decade's absence since Titanic, the highest grossing movie of all time is set for a May 22nd 2009 release. So the main players would seem to be Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Giovanni Ribisi, with the rest being unknowns or supporting characters. I could be wrong though, it's difficult at times to get any concrete info on this picture. Avatar will blend of live-action photography and new virtual photorealistic production techniques invented by Cameron's team, and promises to completely blow our minds. The film contains six fully CGI actors known as 'synthespians'. It's needless to say that images from this movie are some of the most anticipated out of anything currently in production right now. At a time when we are getting some many sequels/remakes/reboots/prequels and blatant rip-off movies, this movie stands tall at the top of the originality scale. source - the hollywood reporter
