DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group has lined up Avatar director James Cameron and producer Jon Landau to kick off the Blu-ray Disc event Blu-Con 2010 Nov. 2 in Los Angeles.

The creators of the highest-grossing film of all time will talk about high-def, 3D and the making of Avatar.

“James Cameron and Jon Landau redefined the theatrical movie experience, and are at the forefront of doing the same in the home with high-definition Blu-ray,” said Mike Dunn, worldwide president of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. “Avatar recently became the most successful Blu-ray disc since the format’s inception, and with influential voices like Landau and Cameron supporting it, we will see continued growth in record numbers. Their expertise and insight will be a welcome addition to this year’s Blu-Con.”

DEG is expecting more than 400 attendees for the one-day conference, which will feature special sessions on Blu-ray 3D, classic films on Blu-ray, BD Live and Internet-connected consumer electronics. The event will be streamed to DEG’s sister organizations in London and Tokyo.
