Walt
Disney has sealed a deal with filmmaker James Cameron and producer Jon
Landau, Fox and Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment to create themed
attractions at Disney parks based on the 2009 movie “Avatar.” The first
themed “land” will be built at Disney World in Orlando, with
construction expected to start by 2013. The first Avatar attraction will
be inside the Animal Kingdom park. Disney said this was chosen because
“with its emphasis on living in harmony with nature, Animal Kingdom is a
natural fit for the Avatar stories, which share the same philosophy.”
The deal is exclusive to Disney, which plans to roll out other Avatar
attractions over time. Cameron is planning sequels to the blockbuster
hit, which surpassed his own “Titanic” as the highest-grossing movie in
history.
