‘Avatar’ movie cast member Zoe Saldana on making movies as a woman in Hollywood
By Behind The Scenes TV on Dec 15, 2009 in Actors
Actress Zoe Saldana has been kicking ass lately. Like really kicking ass. Both in this past summer’s ‘Star Trek’ reboot and now with the upcoming James Cameron sci-fi epic ‘Avatar’. Since breaking in with Steven Spielberg’s ‘Terminal’ she’s been an IT girl for a lot sexy, action roles. One has to wonder if she’s going to give Angelina Jolie a run for her money.
And so she stars as a blue-skinned alien warrior named Neytiri in James Cameron’s long-awaited 3-D digital epic “Avatar.” First cast in 2006, Saldana spent months training for her role, which required her to don a motion capture suit every day and strap on head gear designed to record her facial expressions. “By the time I was playing her on camera, playing Neytiri was like second nature for me,” she says. “I strove to make her as natural as possible.”

The best movie I have ever seen! I’ve already seen it twice. I wanted to explore more of Pandora. I tried the game for free on a 7 day trial at http://www.playavatarfree.com so I could explore the planet. The graphics in the game are outstanding. You get to travel to other parts of the planet to complete your missions. Its the next best thing to watching the movie, plus you get to choose where you go.
