There were speculations that the Avatar Blu-Ray coming out November 15th would only have the extended edition but Fox confirmed today that it’ll also have the theatrical cut. The extended cut will have 16 minutes of additional footage that was shown on IMAX about a month ago. The 3 disc set will also have over 45 minutes of deleted scenes. The Blu-Ray will also have a family audio track where objective language are removed. I’ve never heard of that feature before. Love the movie or not, this edition is packed with extras. Good thing I didn’t buy the first release.
Here are the specs for Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition:
Disc One:
