Christmas is about to get a whole lot more blue for "Avatar" fans (and a whole lot more green for James Cameron). 20th Century Fox has announced the details about what will be in the upcoming triple-disc DVD and BluRay release for the film, and if you want to experience every inch of Pandora, now might be the time to upgrade to Blu.The features on the BluRay are extensive. The first disc contains no less than three different cuts of the film -- Original Theatrical Version, Special Edition Re-release and Collector's Extended cut -- on top of offering the previously announced Earth set alternate opening. You have also have the option of playing the Family Audio Track during the Original and Special Edition cuts of the film that will remove all objectionable language so your little ones don't end up dropping some "Avatar" sized swear words. No mention if the worst word in the film, "unobtanium," will also be excised. The second disc contains a feature-length making-of documentary and 45 minutes of deleted scenes while the third disc offers up more production featurettes, the original 300 page screenplay, a Pandorapedia (giggle) and more. The DVD set is bare-bones by comparison, only offering the multiple cuts spread over two discs, the feature length documentary and deleted scenes.
All of this will hit stores on November 16th to make sure it's on shelves before the biggest shopping weekend of the year, Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Oh yeah, if you want the 3D version, you're going to need to buy a 3D TV. No joke. No word yet on pricing; full disc details after the jump. [Deadline]
