Avatar Oblique

I found the following image via io9; they had it filed into their daily spoiler-riddled post, but it just seems ridiculous to me to consider this shot spoilery. It's the only image to have come from the set of James Cameron's Avatar, and it's frustratingly oblique. Here:


Click on it to embiggen it (or click here and see it even bigger). As I was scanning through the random things you can see here and there in that shot all over the set I suddenly felt like I was playing a game of "Where's Waldo?" only I didn't know what Waldo looked like or was even supposed to resemble. There's some horses and some people in motion-capture suits, there's what io9 calls "a white alien tree" (okay)... the secrecy surrounding this film is beginning to get the best of me.

And then I read the other day that Avatar's going to end up costing somewhere around $300 million (and that's a conservative estimate)? Seriously. I can already feel my synapses frying. Maybe this'll be like Halloween III, and we'll all go to see this movie and out brains will turn into maggots.

I'd be okay with that.
