No, there will not be a 9-hour version of Avatar 3
A hot topic in the media has been the rumors of a potential 9-hour cut of the upcoming third Avatar film. Cameron took these speculations with humor and vigorously denied them. “I’d put a shotgun in my mouth if I ever did a 9 hour rough cut,” he commented on the claims. He further specified that the material to which the rumors referred was intended for the three still planned sequels to Avatar, not for an overlong version of the third part.
Landau added that the idea of a 9-hour cut was more like a joke. “I’d shoot myself,” he joked with Cameron about the absurdity of such a sprawling film. So now you know: three hours per film – not a nine-hour monster cut.
Overall, these statements from James Cameron and Jon Landau show that the work on the Avatar films is not only characterized by professional dedication, but also by a deep connection to the project. As fans continue to eagerly await the sequels, they can rest assured that the creators are working hard behind the scenes to bring their vision to life – albeit not in the form of a 9-hour cut of Avatar 3.
