Director James Cameron wrote Aint-it-cool-news with an update on his much anticipated 3-D sci-fi epic Avatar, which is slated for release Dec 18, 2009, confirming that the film has wrapped shooting. Here are a couple of excerpts:

Things are going well on Avatar, or at least as well as can be expected on such a ridiculously complex project. We’ve wrapped principal, and most of the live action portion of the movie is already cut. It’s starting to look and sound like a movie. I’m ecstatic with the performances and the look. The cast chemistry worked out perfectly.

[...] The Weta animators are ON FIRE, and seeing the world and the creatures come to life is what keeps us going. There’s a spirit on this film, an esprit de corps amongst the virtual team, that comes from knowing we’re doing something absolutely groundbreaking. It’s why people still have good morale after working on this thing for two years or more.
