Commence Nerdgasm: Avatar 2 Footage Exists & It Has Screened

You hear vague, non-committal Avatar 2 "updates" from Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana every so often. Currently penciled in for Christmas 2015 release, but that’s a pipe dream knowing the meticulous process of post productions. James Cameron and the WETA bad-boys spent close to two years rendering all those shots. And you know what? That hard work shows on the screen.

So while it's the early days for the sequel, Cameron's producing partner Jon Landau screened test footage recently:

"He then showed a series of clips, starting with a live capture created on a stage last November, which was set on Pandora and featured a human as well as the Na'vi. 'This was our first foray into what we wanted to do,' Landau told the audience, pointing to noticeable improvements in aspects of the image including lighting and shadows."
