, we brought you the news that
Sigourney Weaver had announced on a French tv show that she was expecting to do a sci-fi movie with
James Cameron, the first time they have worked together since
Aliens. Well we all know that his upcoming sci-fi movie was
Avatar, so we all presumed that must be the movie she was talking about. Today it's been confirmed! Joining Weaver will be
Peter Mensah,
Joel David Moore,
C.C.H. Pounder and
Stomp the Yard'sLaz Alonso.
Sam Worthington and
Zoe Saldana have been cast for some time. One more time, here is the plot, from
Dark Horizons...
"Avatar" follows a wounded ex-marine who is thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity. He eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.Even though we have been expecting it, confirmation on the casting comes very welcome from me. It's obvious that the majority of the actors are going to be made up of unknowns and many fresh faces, so casting someone with the presence and chops of Sigourney Weaver is perfect.

Cameron has been building up to this for the best part of ten years..... it promises to be something very special indeed. source -
