VIRGIN Blue will be taking James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar to the skies today as part of the massive advertising blitz accompanying the film's release on DVD and Blu-ray.

A cross-promotional deal between 20th Century Fox and the airline will see an Avatar logo plastered across a Boeing 737, as well as an in-flight advertising campaign on the airline's planes and boarding passes, and promotions in airports and lounges. The deal will also see $50 Virgin Blue Holidays vouchers inside the packaging of each movie.

The jet will make its debut today when it flies from Brisbane to Sydney with crew members and passengers made up as Na'vi, the blue creatures at the centre of the sc-fi movie, as part of the official launch of the home entertainment formats.

The blitz by Fox is its biggest to date and also includes a tie-in with the Nine Network and outfitting the Bulldogs rugby league team with a one-off jersey.

Avatar is the biggest-grossing film of all time, with worldwide receipts of $US2.5 billion ($2.72bn).

The release of the home discs in the US last week saw 4 million copies sold on DVD, and a further 2.7 million sold on Blu-ray in the first four days.

I don't think I could ever do that. Not on the regular salary.

wenis · Apr 30, 2010

I can see that now.

Jamesfrom818 · Apr 30, 2010

So Virgin Blue packed a plane with blue virgins for an advertising campaign? Kinda lazy if you ask me.

G-Fex · Apr 30, 2010

I thought Twilight people took their stuff too far.

Spider from Mars · Apr 30, 2010

My hate for Avatar just grew ten-fold.

Vox-Pop · Apr 30, 2010

avatar nerds are the worst.

Discotheque · Apr 30, 2010

I loled in 30 Rock when Julianne Moore's character was talking about Avatar:

"I found myself cheering for our boys in uniform". ROFL, I agree. I really wanted the Nav'i dead.

SmokeMaxX · Apr 30, 2010

I don't get the appeal. It's just the blue-man group flying in a plane.

Combine · Apr 30, 2010

Just goes to show that marketers are overpaid morons who come up with the dumbest of ideas. How the hell did anyone think this was a good idea?

If anything it'll create a backlash against the film. There is such a thing as overexposure ya know Fox?

Medalion · Apr 30, 2010

"We got here first, fuckers."

Pterion · Apr 30, 2010

I must be the only guy out there who thought the movie was okay at best.

Correct.
The rest of us though it was sub par, at best.

Rich! · Apr 30, 2010

goddamn surely they have those flying beasts with which they can insert their brains into?

why would they need planes

Slayven · Apr 30, 2010

Enough is enough i had it with these motherfucking Na'vi on this motherfucking plane.

seat · Apr 30, 2010

I only feel safe in the skies when my pilot is painted up like a big blue kitty.

Slayven · Apr 30, 2010

No way Na'vi could come to earth. They would suffocate from a lack of sufficient CO2.

G-Fex · Apr 30, 2010

the redhead in the 9th pic is kinda cute.

I forgot everyone's super high standards. :lol

My bad.

GrotesqueBeauty · Apr 30, 2010

I smell a Lost sequel in the works. I wonder how you say "Don't tell me what i can and can't do!" in Na'vi.

This is GAF. Besides, if I managed to turn down an invitation to meet a hot girl today, I think I can shoot down an average one online.

You may be the only person not in a third world country that hasn't seen it.

I salute you sir.

I recently kept turning down/ignoring a co-worker interested in me. Hurt her feelings probably, I don't care. I don't want to associate with anyone right now.

But I still like to point out cute girls when I see them.

industrian said:

Nope, I haven't either, nor do I really want to. (Unless it somehow ends up on Cinemax way later on. Cause I have cinemax channels)

Bboy AJ · Apr 30, 2010

All this nonsense for a shitty movie. WTF.
