James Cameron’s latest movie has been a massive success after fans waited for over a decade to watch, Avatar: The Way of Water has been released. The crowd has since then been rooting for the movie to reach peak success and give way to the third installment of the franchise. The rumored runtime of the movie is said to be of 9 hours.
This runtime is said to be shortened only after animation for the same has been done. However, the director seemed to have some interesting ideas that could possibly change the way cinema works in current times. This could include the Hollywood industry having a close tie-in with streaming platforms.
James Cameron Still Wants Avatar 3 To Be As Lengthy As Possible
James Cameron suggested a method of movie watching that could supposedly shift the entire way films are being watched in present times. It is no doubt that streaming services are slowly taking over, providing more content at reasonable prices. According to the director, he would still love to make a third part for the Avatar franchise and make it lengthy, possibly six and a half hours long.
“Let’s use these platforms in ways that haven’t been done before.”
He further stated that perhaps the theatre version of the movie could be of the usual two and a half or three hours long while another version of the film could be later released on streaming services, being around six hours long or longer. He wants to see a newer way for streaming services to be used as they provide a platform of multiple possibilities and expanding ideas.
This would give the audience an entirely new experience of viewing movies and enjoying them on a whole new level. The third installment of the movie is rumored to be nine hours long and if this method does come to be, fans would be able to watch Avatar 3 in its raw form.
Fans Love The Idea Proposed By James Cameron
After listening to this idea, fans cannot wait any longer to see the third part of the franchise and to see other possible ways to explore Pandora and everything the world offers. Other fans did not like the idea as much because they think that the movie could get highly repetitive and boring.
That is a pretty good idea, we should utilise streaming's strengths more. I'd prefer if it's broken into episodes tho, or maybe just show clear segments in the 6 hour cut for when is the best time to pause and take a break.

That’s actually a sick idea

Fully yes to this. His films are so big that you can tell a lot gets cut to make it palatable for a general audience. Turning into something you can binge or watch here and there sounds perfect!

I would 100% sit and watch 9 hours of Pandora 😅 but I can lose myself easily. The 3 hours of twow passed like it was only 1 to me.

Sounds strangely good, a mini series with a resume on screen, but after seen The way of water the thing that really get me entertained was the 3D, the story was barely ok, but gladly I would see it again just to see the 3D, you cut that down and I don't know if is was worthy

Many others simply compare it to television series and the audience also points out as to how the project could be extremely expensive and could involve heavy CGI.
Avatar: The Way of Water is currently running in theatres.
