If you can’t quite get your fix of James Cameron’s Avatar then the guys over at BlackBook may have just what you need. That is, if what you need is a comprehensive guide to the creatures of Pandora!
The guide is much like those that appeared after the Star Wars films which contain everything you would ever want to know about the Star Wars universe, up to and including the fuel that the Millennium Falcon uses.
Marketed as a “confidential report on the biological and social history of Pandora,” An Activist Survival Guide actually lists the new species of plants and animals Cameron came up with for his epic new film and includes a glossary of Na’Vi terminology.
Some people think he’s nuts… and he may be, but at least this movie should be awesome!
George Lucas even commended Cameron’s effort and dedication to the universe he has created, telling the New York Times:
“Creating a universe is daunting. I’m glad Jim is doing it — there are only a few people in the world who are nuts enough to. I did it with Star Wars, and now he’s trying to challenge that. It’s a lot of work. I do believe Jim will take this further out than anyone’s ever conceived of.”
Enough talk about the guide, have a look at some of scans below.
Supposedly you can order AVATAR: An Activist Survival Guide on Amazon, but I’ve been unable to locate it.
Avatar hits theaters on December 18, 2009 and stars Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Michelle Rodriguez.
