Rock Solid JournalismReuters:
The studio said on Tuesday it set Earth Day as “Avatar’s” home video release date for the U.S. and Canada, because the film’s themes match the day’s goal of environmental awareness.
“Avatar” has made a record-breaking $2.64 billion so far at worldwide box offices since its Dec. 18 release, with a large bulk of that coming from 3-D showings.
But the “Avatar” home video will be in 2-D, said Fox, a division of News Corp (NWSA.O). A 3-D version will likely come out next year, when more consumers are expected to have 3-D televisions in their homes.

Those Hollywood directors, always thinking they can call all the shots "Avatar" helmer and self-proclaimed "King of the World" James Cameron tried to do his eco-friendly (and global royalty) duty (continued).
During a press junket on Tuesday, "Avatar" helmer James Cameron let fly about Fox News' shouty conspiracy buff Glenn Beck, calling Beck a couple of rated-R names before backing up a bit and suggesting that he'd like to have a "dialogue with him." In 3-D! Just kidding.
