As promised, here’s an update on how you can get free tickets to see 16 minutes of James Cameron’s Avatar in 3D at select IMAX theaters next Friday, August 21. (UPDATE: Read my reactions to the footage here and see the teaser trailer here.)
The Hollywood Reporter says that starting Monday, August 17, tickets can be reserved online via Avatarmovie.com (UPDATE: Le0pard13 sent me this L.A. Times link which says the site will start taking reservations at noon PST). Each party will only be able to reserve 2 tickets and the trailer will be shown between 6-7 p.m. at most venues. No word yet on what time the website will start taking reservations or which theaters are participating. I’ll post the info as soon as I hear but if you’re really interested in the sneak peek, I’d suggest bookmarking the site and checking in early on Monday.
The movie opens December 18, 2009.

I followed the link, but didn’t find any place I could sign up for tickets. Am I just to darn eager?
