At long last, real information is starting to leak from James Cameron’s fortress of non-spoilertude.
So we thought we’d collect all of Cameron's new quotes and explain why they make us more excited than ever...
You can watch the Avatar trailer here.

1. Avatar Is Inspired By All Sorts Of Stories
“My inspiration is every single science fiction book I read as a kid. And a few that weren't science fiction.
“The Edgar Rice Burroughs books, H. Rider Haggard — the manly, jungle adventure writers. I wanted to do an old-fashioned jungle adventure, just set it on another planet, and play by those rules.”
Why This Makes Us Even More Excited
James Cameron's returning to the books he grew up with. The last time he raided his library, Terminator happened.
Next: A Myriad Of Creatures, Bows & Arrows

This baby is either going to be Cameron's "Schindler's List" or his "Heaven's Gate." The bar's set too high for there to be any in-between.

In a time when Hollywood seems to be obsessed with prequels, sequels and reboots here's James Cameron proving that there still are an original thought or two left in Hollywood. Am unbelievably excited about this movie. http://www.igp-scifi.com

Im hopeful but concerned. No doubt this will be a UK 12a/US PG-13 so they can try and get as many people in and make as much money as possible. I understand that, but such films are usually 'watered down for the masses', and end up being weak, cartoonish, special-effects action films (like the Mummy films or Transformers films). Cameron has a great track record but no-one only makes great films (Speilberg hasn't managed it in 15 years, and he's one of the best!), so im going to temper my excitement until we know a bit more. Also im red/green colour blind so the 3D could be a problem - anyone know?
