It seems like Ain’t It Cool News is going to be the place to go for news on James Cameron‘s first directorial outing since Titanic as they bring us six new names starring in Avatar, the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.
The film already stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, here is what the site had to add:
WES STUDI, SIGOURNEY WEAVER (confirmed as Grace), Peter Mensah, Joel David Moore (fantastic in both HATCHET and SPIRAL) – I imagine him as being Hippy-esque (think ABYSS), C.C.H. Pounder (love her) and then last but not least… I believe it was Laz Alonso – looking at his filmography – that’s the name that most fits with what I heard.
Look for Avatar news for the next two years as it doesn’t hit theaters until 2009.
