If you’re eagerly awaiting the next Avatar film, you might change your mind after hearing this tidbit of news. Whisperings are still doing the rounds claiming that director James Cameron has handed in a nine-hour cut of the film. Let’s take a momentary silence for all of our future quivering bladders.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorais out now.
If you get a numb backend just from sitting down to watch a three-hour film, just think how desperate you’d be to stand up after watchinga nine-hour whopper. Apparently, that’s how long James Cameron’s original cut ofAvatar 3is. There is some good news though. It’s believed, and it’s common sense really, that the film will undergo major cuts in order to trim it down to something that more resembles a standard theatrical release, while insiders claim that an extended cut could end up onDisneyPlus.

Earlier this year, insider Jeff Sneidersaidthat the extended nine-hour version ofAvatar 3could debut on Disney Plus as a limited series. At least that way, we could watch the colossal version in digestible chunks.
That being said, it still sounds as ifAvatar 3is going to be the longest film in the series to date. The originalAvatarclocks in at 2 hours 42 minutes, whileThe Way of Waterran for 3 hours 12 minutes. I’m sure Cameron has locked himself away somewhere, trimming down that nine-hour cut, but even to get it down to four hours long, you’d have to lose an enormous five hours of content. Let’s just say, I wouldn’t buy a large drink when you go to see the film.
