Time Magazine say AVATAR cost $300 million, most expensive movie of all time!!

"I couldn't tell what was real and what was animated--even knowing that the 9-ft.-tall blue, dappled dude couldn't possibly be real" said Josh Quittner regarding some footage of AVATAR he saw recently for Time Magazine.

The scenes were so startling and absorbing that the following morning, I had the peculiar sensation of wanting to return there, as if Pandora were real.

Now if you're a film fan, that's the quote that gets you excited for AVATAR, James Cameron's over ten year in the making 3-D science fiction epic that will hit screens in December. But if you're a guy who likes to follow the business side of the movie industry, the same piece in Time Magazine casually blurt out the information that over a thousand people have worked on putting the $300 million movie together, which easily makes it the most expensive film of all time. Previously Fox had stated the movie would cost $200 million. Currently the most expensive film of all time is PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END which a few years ago was made for $300 million. But AVATAR's $300 million comes before the expensive marketing, advertising and distributing stage. In same article, which is well worth your time... Cameron insists every movie he makes from now on will be made with the 3-D digital format.
