James Cameron vs. HATERS and Defends ‘Avatar 2’ Will Be Over 3 Hours

The first chapter of ‘Avatar’, directed by James Cameron, was no less than 162 minutes long (that’s almost two hours and forty minutes) – but the filmmaker will go further for the upcoming sequel ‘Avatar: Water Path’.

The duration of the film will be 190 minutes, or 3 hours and 10 minutes.

Cameron has previously fired back at haters, saying he doesn’t want anyone complaining about the film’s length.

“I don’t want anyone complaining about the length, especially since they sit down and do a marathon. [de séries] for eight hours,” he told Empire. “I can already see that part in the reviews: ‘the dying three-hour movie…’. It’s like, leave me alone. I watched five hour episodes with my kids. It’s the social paradigm that needs to change: it’s normal for you to get up and go to the bathroom.

Speaking to the same magazine, Cameron confessed that he may not be directing “Avatar 4 and 5”, the final two films in the franchise.

With the sequels being delayed due to the development of new technologies, the director might end up handing over to a younger director he trusts.

“I’ve been thinking for a while that I’d like to pass the baton to a director I trust so he can direct the final two movies in the Avatar franchise. Or not… Maybe. I don’t know yet” , did he declare.

Cameron also talked about the long-awaited sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water,” raising our expectations by comparing the production to the acclaimed “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

“What I said to Fox at the time was, ‘I will [a sequência], but we have to play a more ambitious game. I don’t just want to make a movie, and make another movie, and make another movie. I want to tell a bigger story,” he said. “I said, ‘Imagine a series of novels like ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ and we adapt it.’ It was great in theory, but then I had to create these damn novels to fit them.

So, are you curious to enter the world of Pandora again?

It opens in national cinemas on December 15.

More than a decade after the events of the first film, “Avatar: The Way of the Water” begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri and their children), the problems that accompany them, the efforts that they do to protect, the fights they fight for survival and the tragedies they endure.

Directed by Cameron, the film stars Zoë Saldaña, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi and Kate Winslet.

Cameron has been developing the sequels for over a decade. The studio has announced four “Avatar” sequels, two of which have already been filmed and the other two are awaiting box office results. The filmmaker shot the two films back to back due to the way the scenes needed to be captured.
