Only 30 shopping days until Avatar, and, on the off chance your anticipation levels needed a re-up, Fox has delivered with a new pic of Zoe Saldana's blue-skinned Na'vi, Neytiri, looking posed and purposeful, if just a little underdressed in USA Today.  In case you've been on the dark side of Pandora these past months, James Cameron's sci-fi epic follows paraplegic ex-Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) from his shattered life on Earth and onto the resource-rich but inhospitable planet, via a rapacious mining corporation and its pioneering avatar technology. Click the image above for the larger version on USA Today Sully's new career path soon proves complex though, as he finds himself caught between Neytiri and her threatened people, SecFor's resident badass Col. Quarritch, and some distinctly unfriendly wildlife, in a battle for Pandora's future. For more on the movie and its director, check out the January issue of Empire, onsale on November 26. Avatar, meanwhile, opens across the country on December 17.
