"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.
