I was just reading details about the upcoming 3-disc Avatar set: http://www.amazon.com/Avatar-Three-Disc-Extended-Collectors-Worthington/dp/B0044XV3R8
Sure there’s the 16 minute extended-er cut, but there are also “over 45 minutes of deleted scenes” as a bonus feature.
Assuming the footage is actually finished, has anyone already resolved to make the craziest longest uber-Avatar cut possible?
I would expect ADM to take this up, but from what I can tell, he hasn’t been very active lately.

It's my understanding that the footage will not be finished, as Fox had to spend a bunch of money for Cameron to finish the 16 minutes he added into the extended-er cut, and they wouldn't shell out the cash to finish the deleted scenes.
That makes a lot of sense.
They'll wait and make it themselves when the sequels get closer using the money they've made on this double dip, and the future two more 3D-BD dips (the 3D theatrical cut is already announced and then there will have to be a 3D extended).

Yeah, I'd assume this mega-set with all 3 versions of the film will be double-dipped in 3D sometime next year.
