Amazing Technical fact behind avatar movie

The entire rendering of the movie AVATAR takes 1 petabyte of storage space! This is the equal to
500 hard drives of 2TB (1 TB equals 1024 GB) each and also equal to a 32 year long MP3 file! PS- With millions of money spent on storage device I am not
amused why the movie budget hyped to 300 million.



Also look at some funny facts about the film.


1. lots of dough
  James Cameron originally planned to have the film completed for release in 1999. At the time, the special effects he wanted increased the budget to $400 million. No studio would fund the film, and it was shelved for almost 10 years.


2.Title error
   An early casting call for the female lead was posted, identifying the movie as James Cameron’s “Battle Angel.”


Michael Biehn
3. Casting dielemma
   James Cameron’s go-to action guy, Michael Biehn, who starred in Cameron’s “The Terminator,” “Aliens” and “The Abyss” — was considered for the role of the tough-nut Col. Miles Quaritch. Cameron ultimately had to pass because he’d already cast Sigourney Weaver (who starred opposite Biehn in “Aliens”) and he didn’t want people to think it was “Aliens” all over again. The role eventually went to Stephen Lang.


4. CGI rules
   The movie is 40 percent live action and 60 percent photo-realistic CGI. Most of the motion capture technology was used for the CGIscenes.

5. Sam's audition
   According to Sam Worthington, he was invited to the casting via a phone call. He didn’t know anything about the script, nor was he told the director’s name. Sam was initially disappointed, thinking it was “another waste of time.”


6. Show me the money
   “Avatar” is the highest-grossing film of all time, bringing in $700 million domestically. James Cameron’s previous film “Titanic” was the first film to gross $500 and $600 million domestically.
