Q: That ties beautifully into my next "Avatar" question: I've read the "Avatar" screenplay that Fox posted online around Oscar season, and I'll admit the thing I want to see re-inserted into the film are the opening scenes set on the polluted, dystopian Earth -- the shots of lead character Jake in a sports bar -- the polluted, crowded cityscapes. You shot this sequence, correct? Any chance we'll be seeing that?A: Well, if you buy the box set in November, you can sit down, and in a continuous screening of the film, watch it with the Earth opening.Q: Oh, really.A: Yeah. It works very well. It just takes a long time to get the movie started. You have to be sort of predisposed to like the movie like a fan, you know what I mean? And then you can sit and you can have a great ride -- a different telling of "Avatar." Not inconsistent -- it's just the stuff that happened off-camera.We call it "the Earth opening." It's about 4 1/2 minutes of stuff. And it was in for the longest time. It was very late in the day that we took it out. I walked in one day and said to my two editors, "Guys, I want each of you to cut a new version of the start of the film, Reel 1, that doesn't have any Earth in it at all." And they looked at me like I was out of my mind. And I said, "No -- it's gonna work." They had to figure out the details. I said, "Just grab a couple of things to use as flashbacks, and start it in space when Jake opens his eyes."

Q: Do you think "Battle Angel" will be your next gig?A: Uh.... I don't know. I'm still weighing that.Q: I know you're probably getting asked that question in every interview. Sorry.A: No, not at all. A lot of people have sort of forgotten about it. But people who are fans of this stuff haven't. I wish I had a better answer -- I just really haven't made a decision yet about how to deal with "Battle Angel" now that "Avatar" has got so much momentum and has the opportunity to become a kind of persistent world for fans.

JACK SCULLY, NEYTIRI ET LE SEXE : La scène la plus anticipée sur le net ces derniers mois risque d'en décevoir plus d'un ! Lorsqu'ils s'embrassent pour la première fois sous l'arbre des esprits, Scully et Neytiri unissent leurs terminaisons capillaires respectives et poussent un soupir de plaisir, un frisson, à l'instar de lorsqu'ils se lient avec un animal. Ce rajout se limite donc à un seul et unique plan, prenant place au milieu du montage original de la scène. Mais il faut bien reconnaître que son explicisme est indéniable ! Durée : 3-4 secondes.
