News Update...
We at Premier Animal Attractions, Inc. are very proud to announce that recently two of our young tiger cubs had the great opportunity to be a part of a highly anticipated movie production which took place in Hollywood, CA. Both male and female tiger cubs were used in the motion capture filming process in what has become maybe the most highly anticipated film for 2009.
Due to be released on December 18, 2009 is the movie "Avatar" directed by one of the most well known directors in Hollywood, James Cameron. James Cameron has produced/written/directed many blockbuster feature films including The Terminator (1984)
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
Aliens (1986)
The Abyss (1989)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
True Lies (1994)
Titanic (1997)
In June 2005, director Cameron was announced to be working on a project tentatively titled "Project 880" (now known to be Avatar) in parallel with another project, Battle Angel. Both movies were to be shot in 3D. By December, Cameron stated that he wanted to film Battle Angel first, followed by Avatar. However in February 2006, he switched goals for the two film projects and decided to film Avatar first. He mentioned that if both films are successful, he would be interested in seeing a trilogy being made for both.
Avatar, previously known as Project 880, has an estimated budget of over $200 million, is a 3D film currently set for a December 18, 2009 release, and will mark his first feature film since 1997's Titanic. It will be composed almost entirely of computer-generated animation, using a more advanced version of the "performance capture" technique used by director Robert Zemeckis in The Polar Express. James Cameron wrote an 80 page script meant for Avatar in 1995 and announced in 1996 that he would make the film after completing Titanic. In December 2006, Cameron explained that the delay in producing the film since the 1990s had been to wait until the technology necessary to create his project was advanced enough. The director is planning to create photo-realistic computer-generated characters through motion capture animation technology using his new virtual camera system. The film was originally scheduled to be released in May 2009 but was pushed back to December 2009 to allow more time for post production on the complex CGI and to give more time for theatres worldwide to install 3D projectors.
CONGRATULATIONS!
to our little ones on a job well done. We look forward to the release of the movie and seeing their work on the BIG SCREEN. We extend our gratitude to all involved who included our family in this wonderful project.
