‘Avatar’ premiere: Hollywood’s night on the blue carpet
Thursday December 17th 2009The stars of “Avatar” made a fine showing in the flesh on Wednesday evening in Hollywood, hitting the blue carpet in support of James Cameron’s hotly anticipated sci-fi effort, which opens this Friday.
Among the cast members on the not-red-at-all carpet? Sam Worthington, with girlfriend Natalie Mark; Zoe Saldana; a sparkling Sigourney Weaver, playing with a toy version of her avatar, Grace; and Giovanni Ribisi.
Behind-the-camera types included director James Cameron, of course, and his wife, Suzy Amis; “Single Ladies” music video director Jake Nava, who helmed Leona Lewis’ video of the film’s closing tune, “I See You”; and “X-Men” director Bryan Singer, who’s already using new technology from “Avatar” on his upcoming “Jack the Giant Killer.”
Cameron’s follow up to “Titanic” — the highest-grossing film in history — has been eagerly awaited by fanboys and teen girls alike. Blame it on the dazzling visual effects and the dazzling Worthington.
Solid reviews have come in for the fantasy, and projections say Cameron’s baby could rake in $250 million worldwide and take the concept of 3-D films to new levels.
One message Sam took from his character Jake Sully, a guy who stands up to bullies: “If you’re 7 or 70, nobody should be able to tell you what to do,” he said to the hosts of the “Avatar MySpace Red Carpet Premiere,” broadcast live on UStream as the crowd entered the premiere.
So, um, he didn’t let Cameron tell him what to do?
“Oh no, he told me what to do, man — he’s the boss.”
