about 5 years ago i read a bunch of alternate history sci-fi and it sparked my imagination. the books inspired me to think up a story for a possible comic. anyway, the story i came up with was so, so, so much like what the movie avatar came to be its eerie.

the movie is GREAT, BTW. my favorite of the year.

yes! it is loosely based on puma and one other character. however, its still a work in progress.

Now thats a handsome cat-lookin' fella. Apparently many people had the similar ideas and creations before Avatar. Thats either an interesting psychological phenomenon or James Cameron did a lot of research for those 14-15 years how much he claims he waited the movie tech to develop before he could start filming Avatar.

I love Avatar too. That forest <3.

thanks! speaking for myself, i was mainly influenced by the works of s.m. stirling and william forstchen. older generaions would have burrough's john carter of mars and the old flash gordon serials. i wouldn't be surprised if cameron was inspired by the same. basically taking a relatively modern character(s) and transporting them to a savage world.

in any case, i totally believe his claims that he's been working on this a long time. there was a blog that posted a scan of a magazine article from the late 90's about "in development" films and it mentions avatar (or at least what would become avatar).

while my idea is not as old (about 5-6 years), i've decided it needs an overhaul so the similarities aren't as obvious. hahaha!

i really like this. i wasn't too sure what to think of avatar, but everyone says it is really good so maybe i'll have to break down and see it.
