Global Exhibition Announced for James Cameron’s Avatar

Global Experience Specialists, Inc. (GES) announced Thursday a partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products (Fox) to develop and tour an exhibition based on James Cameron’s Avatar.

The touring exhibition, which will kick off in the fall of 2016, is inspired by the creatures and environments of the world of Pandora first introduced in the film. Fox and GES are developing the interactive attraction in consultation with James Cameron and Jon Landau’s Lightstorm Entertainment.

The Avatar exhibition will include immersive, interactive displays that highlight Pandora, the alien world created by James Cameron, putting it in the context of science here on Earth.

The exhibition will treat Pandora as a real place that can be studied and visited. The 10,000 square foot experience will allow for a dynamic 45-minute guest engagement offering a wide range of explorations and environments highlighting bioluminescence, connectivity among Pandora’s living things as well as its diverse flora and fauna.

A unique look at the complexity of indigenous peoples and cultures through the lens of the Na’vi, Pandora’s native inhabitants, will be a key component of the exhibition. By showcasing the science and wonder of Pandora, the exhibition will allow guests to better understand the beauty – and fragility – of Earth.

Released in 2009, James Cameron’s Avatar is the highest-grossing film in motion picture history, with a box office gross of nearly $2.8 billion. The film will be followed by three sequels, with the first sequel due for release in late 2017. Avatar was named best drama at the Golden Globes and won Academy Awards for cinematography, visual effects and art direction.
