British film magazine Empire quoted James Cameron as saying, “I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch [television] for eight hours. “I can almost write this part of the review. ‘The agonizingly long three-hour movie…’ It’s like, give me a fucking break. I’ve watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row. Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it’s okay to get up and go pee.”
Avatar: The Way of Water is a three-hour-10-minute movie that will release worldwide on December 16 and is expected to be followed by three other releases in 2024, 2026, and 2028.
