Would you want to live in the Avatar world for nine hours?
A few months ago, entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider tweeted a rumor that Disney was allowing James Cameron to finish special effects on a nine-hour cut of the third Avatar film. At the time this made no sense. Why would Disney pay for expensive effects on a movie that would not be released that long?
There were several theories about having enough room to cut scenes in and out, and maybe save some stuff for the fourth installment.
But now, Jeff Sneider is back with a rumor follow-up.
Sneider joined John Rocha on their podcast, The Hot Mic, to discuss the possibility that Avatar 3 would have a normal release at a normal (three hours, probably) length, and after it left theaters Disney+ would add the nine-hour cut to their platform and release it as a limited series.
Does this make sense?
