First Look At James Cameron's 'Avatar' Alien?
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, RumorMonger, Movie Marketing, Images
A glance at an alien from James Cameron's Avatar has popped up in the most unlikely of places -- a t-shirt. MarketSaw, a blog devoted to 3-D movies, snagged a photo (or the actual t-shirt itself, it's unclear which) of an official t-shirt raffled off to Avatar crew members. It bears the proud silhouette of a Na'vi and while it's not very detailed, I have to concur with CHUD's Devin Faraci that it looks far, far too much like a furry. The hype for this film is intense, and Cameron has been very vocal about the alien culture he was creating. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't a two-legged cat/elf with a bow and arrow. We can't cast judgment yet, though. It is just a t-shirt but is this what you thought the Na'vi would look like?
Incidentally, aren't official movie t-shirts were handed out to crew members for free? The set of Avatar now sounds an awful lot like a job I had at a haunted house once. It was filthy and dangerous work, and our much anticipated Halloween bonus ended up being ... a t-shirt raffle. I really hope the crew members of a James Cameron movie made off better than that!

looks exactly the same as the concept art that showed up a while ago.

Captain Log 2345565. We encountered an alien life form with advanced technology, Dr. Spock managed to gain control of a complicated form of bow and arrow, wait, make that a lame bow and arrow...

It's a low detail silhouette on a t-shirt. I don't think I would crap on it just yet regardless of what it looks like atm.

Let's see, its on an alien world, but it just happens to be a humanoid mammal. How coincidental!! Laughingly unlikely.
Jeez, you people have the CGI, why not use your imaginations.

Woody,
Maybe WE should use OUR imaginations. Maybe the actual creature is the gray area AROUND the white area. :-) You see, this is the view of an odd birthmark on the top of the creature's bald head. See? See there on the lower right? The creature's left eyeball.

Surely that's a SPACE bow and arrow! Totally different than boring old Earth ones.
And it could be a helmet or something giving the more feline-like appearance. 3 toes... tail... although the silhouette could be seen as the "tail" coming from the head and the arms being short and coming from just above the waist.
So it COULD be less feline-elfy than first thought... or not.

Looks like someone might of got a deal on some Cats! costumes at a tag sale off Broadway. Add a bow and you've got a whole new furry something. He had to cut cost somewhere after he'd spent all that money on silhouette t-shirts...
