James Horner's score for Avatar gets an official site, and has an awesome audio sample of the track "Into the Na'vi World"!

Today, Atlantic Records issued the first details about the score. There are 13 tracks from composer James Horner (Titanic) comprising the pure score. The final track, titled "I See You (Theme From 'Avatar')," features vocals from Grammy-nominated singer Leona Lewis. The score drops on December 15th (December 14th internationally) , three days shy of the movie, and is currently available for pre-order at AvatarScore.com.

WIth all the marketing focusing on cutting-edge technology and space weaponry and battle cries, there's something we're not really talking about with regard to Avatar -- it's probably going to have a lot in common with Titanic. The plot elements are all there -- a forbidden love set against an action backdrop, two people coming together from two different worlds to try to unite, and let's face it, probably some kind of tragic ending.

Lewis worked with composer James Horner and Simon Franglen on the song, the same two guys who created "My Heart Will Go On." Yes, all the elements are coming into place.

Will Leona Lewis be the Celine Dion of Avatar?

 Rachel McAdams

Mania.com is reporting that their sources have cited Rachel McAdams as in talks with the film's producers to take on the role of Felicia Hardy, also known as Black Cat. If you're unfamiliar with the character, she is a sometimes good, sometimes bad cat burglar who, in addition to being a possible love interest of the web-crawler's, tries to use her less-than-legal prowess to break her father out of jail. It would be an interesting spin to have villainess for part four, but it's unclear at this point as to whether or not the film's Black Cat will ultimately be friend or foe.

A bigger shake-up to the film's line-up could come by way of the second bit of Mania's news, which stakes that the producers are also currently out casting a male villain. Assuming Raimi hasn't already broken with his desire to keep the baddies solo, this would mean that Dr. Curt Connors is not fulfilling his destiny as The Lizard after all, despite Dylan Baker confirming he'd be returning in the role. It's all very fluid and salty at this point, but if Mania's sources are indeed correct, Spider-Man 4 has either multiplied its villains once again or kept The Lizard caged until a later date.

Michael Jackson's This Is It was all there was as far as new nationwide releases went this Halloween weekend, but it was sufficient to help propel overall business nine percent higher than the same timeframe last year.

Though it may not be commensurate with the raft of pre-release hype surrounding the movie and Michael Jackson's death, This Is It performed exceptionally well for a concert picture or music documentary, charting second only to the opening of the Hannah Montana concert. It raked in an estimated $21.3 million on approximately 5,500 screens at 3,481 sites, ranking as the fifth highest-grossing Halloween debut on record, and has grossed $32.5 million in five and a half days. Add in foreign grosses of an estimated $68.5 million from 98 countries, and This Is It's five-day worldwide haul was $101 million, which exceeded the lifetime tally of the Hannah Montana concert.

Finally the 3½ minute trailer for James Cameron's Avatar is in glorious high def on Yahoo. Oct. 29th, I waited for the trailer until 1 o'clock in the morning (and it was 30th already), the trailer was supposed to be released at that time (pacific time 10 AM), but I didn't see it until the afternoon - -. But it is still worth waiting. James has proved Avatar is more than a video-game-like movie, more than giant creatures on a strange planet, blue Na'vi aliens, it's a story about love and survival and the importance of life. And human being has become the villain. Jake Sully has to make a choice between remaining loyal to the human race or stopping the plundering of Pandora by these alien invaders from Earth. It's not only the never-before-used technology in this movie attracts me, but also the story (kinda like Pocahontas). It's truly stunning. And is probably the best trailer I have ever seen. The movie is going to be epic. Ejoy the trailer below~ Just can't wait to see Avatar~ (sadly it won't be in theaters of China until January - -)                       By Eddie

A voice says "Are You Jake Sully? "

We see Sully arriving on Pandora in his wheelchair. A man says "I'd like to talk to you about a fresh start on a new world. You'd be making a difference."

We see some shots of Pandora, similar to what we've seen before: misty forests, soldiers trotting off aircraft. Sully says, "I became a marine for the hardship. Told myself I can pass any test a man can pass. All I ever wanted was a single thing worth fighting for."

We see more shots of Pandora, including the Thanator, and hear a little of Colonial Quaritch's speech, "Ladies and gentlemen, you're not in Kansas anymore. You're on Pandora."

And Michelle Rodriguez's character, Trudy Chacon, flying a helicopter comments, "You should see your faces."

Quaritch continues, "We have an indigenous population called the Na'vi. They are very hard to kill."

We see a floating bit on unobtainium. Someone says: "This is why we're here. Because this little gray rock sells for 20 million a kilo."'

We see a holographic representation of the Na'vi village. "Their village happens to be resting on the richest deposit and they need to re-locate."

Giovanni Ribisi's character says to Sigourney Weaver's Grace, "Those savages are threatening our whole operation. We're on the brink of war, and you're supposed to be finding a diplomatic solution."

We see Sully again. "The concept is to drive these remotely controlled bodies called avatars." We see the Avatars. "They're grown from human DNA mixed with DNA of the natives."

Quaritch says, "A marine in an Avatar body, that's a potent mix." He's in the AMP Suit. "You get me what I need, I'll see to it you get your legs back. Your real legs." Sully replies, "Oh yeah sir."

Norm Spellman and Sully look at Sully's Avatar in a tank. Spellman tells him, "Looks like you, this is your Avatar."

Grace and Sully are in the medical bay as she is about to connect him to the Avatar. "Just relax and let your mind go blank. It shouldn't be hard for you." Sully connects to the Avatar, and the next thing we see is him and another Avatar in a helicopter. Sully is whooping.

There is a montage of moments from Pandora. A voiceover says, "Jake, it's real simple. I want you to learn from the inside. I want you to gain their trust."

We see Neytiri, and she tells him, "You should not be here." She shoves him away. "Go back. All this is your fault."

He says to her, "I need your help."

Then there is more montage, lots of falling and flying Banshees, and experience on Pandora. In between, we cut to Quaritch asking Jake, "Haven't gotten lost in the woods have you? d'you forget what team you're playing for? "

We see helicopters over Pandora and Sully comments, "The strong prey on the weak and nobody does a thing."

Someone says, "You've got one hour." (to Sully I guess)

The helicopters close in on the Na'vi. Neytiri, looking wounded, asks, "You knew this would happen?" To which Sully, in Avatar form, replies, "Everything changed."

As the battle ramps up, someone says, "Jake, it's crazy here. Woolrich is rolling and there's no stopping him."

Michelle Rodriguez's character says, "We're going up against gunships with bows and arrows." To which Sully replies, "Then I guess we'd better stop him."

From there on out, it's a lot of war, with Banshees, helicopters, and guns. A voiceover says, "They've sent us a message, that they can take whatever they want. But we will send them a message. That this ... this is our land!"

由于本人看过小说，觉得《天使与恶魔》要比《达芬奇密码》好看，所以还是有点小期待~

翻拍自1951年的经典影片，51年版的地球停转之日讲述的是外星人试图阻止人类使用原子武器，否则地球将会被宇宙中爱好和平的外星观察者消灭的故事，但是看了这个新版本的预告之后，原本题材严肃的科幻片似乎已经被导演加工成了一部灾难片。而且据说预算的绝大部分将用在片尾将近20分钟的宏大场面上（福克斯为此还不惜重金请来曾为《指环王》做特效的威塔数字负责打造），事实上我觉得摒弃旧版带有时代烙印的反战主题是完全正确的，在片花里可以听到扮演外星人的基努·李维斯说：If you survive the Earth dies but if you die the Earth survives（假如地球灭亡，你也会死去；但假如你死去，地球将会存活），似乎为整个影片定下了环境保护论的基调，这也是某种与时俱进的标志吧。

是澳大利亚版的《乱世佳人》（导演说的），并且还有Nicole Kidman的加盟，这样一部战争＋爱情＋一点西部色彩的影片，说不期待绝对是骗人的。而且发布的剧照都大吹华丽复古风，这些剧照甚至还华丽丽地登上了今年7月份的《Vogue》杂志（知名时尚杂志），《Vogue》也很给面子地给出了整整16页的专版！Nicole迷们有眼福啦~不用怀疑，这些剧照又是摄影大师Annie Leibovitz的作品。

来张官网上的截图，注意，这次是“ONLY IN THEATERS”哦，而不是在Disney Channel里，真羡慕香港和台湾的影迷~~

Day 1

We started with a very very boring meeting, a LOT of speech, teacher and student, student and teacher, blah blah blah.. And since then we have several reporters following us around..

at 11:30 we set off.

There was nothing special during the 3-hour ride except I secretly took a photo of CD~

And I also listened to the Original Soundtrack of <Camp Rock> on the bus, I like the song "This is me" and "Gotta find you". 

He didn’t notice.. till now.. It turned out that there was nothing to do but sleep, nobody wants to talk and I thought I really should take a nap then, and I did. I fell asleep really soon, when I woke up we’re already in Fuzhou.

About 4:30, we got on the train.

Day 2

      可怜的我被分到了上铺，那个冷啊。。空调口就在我的脚边上。。

11:41 We arrived in Beijing

      北京西站！！

     西站前的雕塑 

我们的宿舍（左下角这张床是我的）

     宿舍比我想象中的好，每张桌子都配有插座，每张床也都配有插座，挺方便的（虽然大部分是坏的。。）那脱线的注意事项里还写着充电必须由带队老师统一充。。（开什么玩笑= =）不过空调的遥控器还要到楼下的办公室里拿，我们开始还不知道，于是开着那仅有的一台风扇，对着空调发呆。。但是对面的房间已经行动了起来，他们竟然打开了空调的盖子，直接从里面开启空调，orz。。而且每间宿舍里都有电蚊香片和脸盆、衣架什么的，挺不错的（要不然我们的衣服就没法洗了。。）

     下午本来是安排参观中国革命历史博物馆的，后来取消了。（Thank GOD..）于是我们一群人就拉着王晗炜小朋友一起去逛王府井~谁叫他是我们的带队老师呢~在北京念过大学的他来当我们的导游真是太合适不过了！（虽然他本人强烈建议不要去王府井来着。。）我以前来过北京，不过是跟团来的，所以没能好好地逛一回王府井，这回总算满足了我这个愿望（不过事实证明我确实不适合逛街= =，一个下午下来我都恨不得直接躺在街上两眼一闭。。话说某人曾经踩着高跟鞋走了整个铜锣湾Orz。。），王府井确实很繁华，不过这里和西单一样，卖的东西都是很贵的，和上次我来的时候不同的就是多了几家奥运特许商品专卖店，我数了一下，不到200米的距离之间就开了6家这样的专卖店，尽管如此开得密集，可是每家店里还是人暴多，和旁边其他的店铺形成了鲜明的对比。。经常出现商品断货我们跑了好几家才买到的情况。。中国就是人多。。

     阿弟给他女儿买了一个可爱的福娃书包，而且很High地跑去全聚德买了一只烤鸭带回去。。

     Day 3

      这是我第二次在厦门看见Hummer，而且就在自己家楼下~不知道是哪位的，不过应该不是本小区的，因为以前从来没见过这辆车。而且这辆车还停了蛮久的，早上11：00第一次看见它，下午17：30最后一次看见它。

      忍不住用手机拍了几张~

车头写着Hummer

这是车身

车尾，有一面美国国旗和一个有老鹰图案的标志，车的后面玻璃上还有几个奇怪的文字
