Ask 'Avatar' Stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana a Question

With resume builders like 'Aliens,' 'Titanic' and a couple 'Terminators,' there's no denying that James Cameron has only himself to beat in a battle of epics. And he's on track to do just that as his decade-long vision of a 3D 'Avatar' comes to fruition on December 18. One thing's for sure, the film's leads, 'Terminator Salvation''s breakout star Sam Worthington and 'Star Trek' beauty Zoe Saldana, are an automatic win as far as we're concerned.

Australian actor Sam Worthington made a splash when he starred in 'Terminator Salvation,' stealing the omnipresent spotlight from media-target Christian Bale with a convincing turn as Marcus Wright. In 'Avatar' he'll play Jake Sully, an ex-Marine-turned-Avatar (seen above) whose purpose is to infiltrate an alien village. Increasing demand for Worthington cements his status as one of sci-fi's hottest commodities. Oh, and he ain't too shabby, either.

Zoe Saldana found her sci-fi calling in a career-changing role as Uhura in Summer '09's smash hit 'Star Trek.' The stunning actress is fitting as 'Avatar''s Na'vi princess Neytiri (seen above), who forces Sully to question his destructive mission. Saldana will next star in a handful of films throughout scattered genres before returning to the space odyssey in a 2011 'Trek' sequel.

In anticipation of what is sure to be this holiday season's monster hit, Saldana and Worthington will be taking part in an Unscripted interview using fan questions. Ask them anything you'd like, just make sure it's before Wednesday, Dec. 9 and that you include your first name and the city you live in. Come back here on Wednesday, Dec. 16 to see if your question was asked!

For Zoe

What does a superstar such as yourself do on an average day?

For Sam and Zoe,

In the movie, I am just curious about the love scene after Jake Sully and Neytiri confessed their love with each other. Is that also motion captured? Was it hard doing the love scene in a motion capture environment with all the technologies involved?

For Sam and Zoe,

You guys have a great chemistry on screen. In real life, would you
guys go out and have a dinner or something? Or in other terms "date"?
And what are your first impressions and likes about each other?

It occurred to me that I failed to include my city and state with my question, so I am going to try again.

My question is for both Zoe and Sam. Instead of asking all the questions everyone does, I instead would like to know from each Zoe and Sam what question to they wish someone would ask them, but never does, and what would their answer to that question be.

As an avid Trekkie, I would also like to congratulate Zoe on an OUTSTANDING performance as Uhura - the role is very safe in your hands!

For Zoe,

Between Star Trek and Avatar, have you had to clear space on your shelves for all your Zoe Saldana dolls and action figures?
