I really can’t wait to see Avatar. This behind the scenes spot from Fox Movie Channel on Hulu really shows off some of the tedious work that went into the film. It’s really amazing stuff.

The Avatar interactive trailer is up at AvatarMovie.com. It gives you a pretty deep look into some of the characters and CG designs. There are definitely a lot more spoilers inside the interactive trailer; however, it helps make a lot more sense of the rather busy TV trailers that have been airing lately.
In order to view the interactive version of the trailer, you’ll have to download and install the Adobe Air Avatar application. No worries though – it installs with your browser open and you’re up and running in a minute or so.
The application also adds Avatar-related tweets, YouTube content and Flickr updates. You can read the PR-speak for yourself in the press release below. [click to continue…]
