"Avatar" Sex Scene Script Posted Online

(CBS)  The version of "Avatar" currently in theaters runs two-and-a-half hours and boasts stunning visual effects. But people are also talking about something that's missing from the feature film - a steamy sex scene involving the two main characters.

The unreleased scene, which centers around an intimate moment between Na'vi alien Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana) and Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is included in the full version of the screenplay, which was released by Fox and posted online at foxscreenings.com.

James Cameron, the film's director, told Britain's Daily Telegraph that the scene will be included on the DVD.

"We had it in [the movie] and we cut it out so that will be something for the special edition DVD - if you want to see how they have sex," he said.

Last week, Saldana told a group of reporters that the steamy scene was difficult to shoot.

"It was a very funny scene to shoot because there were so many technical things that sometimes you have to keep in mind that paying attention to all those might disrupt the fluidity of how a scene is supposed to take place," she said.

She also added that the scene was scrapped because the film was aimed at a family audience.

They kiss and hold each other, rolling around on the forest floor still with their tribal wear on - but no actualy "sex scene" - it's inferred until she admits to her mother & father they "mated."

Hey is a same sex love-in? scene or a natural male & female sex scene?
You would think that in the future--at least aliens would encourage
same sex marriage unions? Guess what? It isn't even natural for alien beings from out of space. Interesting????

I know of one alien space race engaging in sex only as a means of war.
This is due to the fact that the result of sex kills all involved.
So take a chill pill and don't worry about aliens in movies.

Well, cleric, you seem to imply that same-sex union isn't natural.

Better tell that to your "God" which made homosexual creatures. Not just humans. Hmmm - not so "perfect" a "Creator" after all, eh?
