The movie Avatar takes up over one petabyte of storage space.

A petabyte is the equivalent of 500 hard drives, each with a capacity of 2 terrabytes (a terrabyte to 1,000 gigabytes!). That’s the size of a 32 YEAR long mp3 file!!

The movie was shot in 3-D and rendered in one of the most powerful data centers in the world. Its computing core adds up to 40,000 processors and 104 terabytes of RAM. It would be realistic to assume that a significant portion of the film's $300 million budget went to storage space.

Before working on Avatar, actor Sam Worthington was living in his car!

He was already an actor in Australia at the time, but Worthington was living in his car prior to meeting James Cameron and landing the Avatar role. Worthington also has worked in the past as a bricklayer. Definitely an unusual background for someone in one of the most successful movies of all time.
