James Cameron used the San Diego Comic-Con to debut his long-awaited feature film return, Avatar, because he said he's a fan, just like everyone in attendance. Watch this very personal and very touching introduction to the film:



(((Sorry about the camera flicker; it's from all of the flashes going off in the auditorium)))



Cameron said that he didn't want to tell any more about the movie or the story so that he could "hold back something for the fun of the voyage." Before leaving the stage he asked:

"How many of you have ever wanted to go to another planet? Second question: Are you ready to go to Pandora?"

Cameron declared August 21st "Avatar Day" and said that a "global audience" will be afforded a free screening of 15 minutes of Avatar at IMAX and 3-D theaters around the world.

Avatar opens December 18th!
