James Cameron defends Avatar2 running nearly three hours long: '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.”
, the next “Avatar” movie is “currently coming in at around three hours.” Cameron does not want to hear anyone complaining about the movie’s long runtime.
“I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch [television] for eight hours,” Cameron told the magazine. “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.
Cameron also had strong words for moviegoers who continuously troll on the first “Avatar” movie. With $2.84 billion worldwide, “Avatar” stands as the highest-grossing movie of all time . Even with that gross, plus nine Oscar nominations and three wins, “Avatar” and its long-delayed sequel have become a punching bag for some cinephiles.
“The trolls will have it that nobody gives a shit and they can’t remember the characters’ names or one damn thing that happened in the movie,” Cameron said. “Then they see the movie again and go, ‘Oh, okay, excuse me, let me just shut the fuck up right now.’ So I’m not worried about that.” “Avatar: The Way of Water” picks up with Jake Sully and Neytiri a decade after the events of the first movie. The two now have children and must protect their family from a new threat. Returning cast members include Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang, while new cast members are Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement and Kate Winslet.
