crumbs 14,287 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hilarious that Cameron/Fox didn't want to go up against Star Wars in 2019, so they just pushed it back until Star Wars' current trilogy is finished. Or he's just really struggled to milk this series for 4 more films. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,490 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I've never liked the first film...and I never will. I can never forgive Cameron for the death of cinema. Matt C and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,287 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Everyone basically hates 3D now too. And everyone hated 48 FPS when they did that in the Hobbit, and Peter Jackson's no amateur. Reeks of gimmicks over story. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'd just swagger off back to his Titanic and open the doors with a snap of his fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Fox wouldn't have greenlit four movies if they didn't like what Cameron has planned. Two consecutive $2B films buy a lot of goodwill. He better make them lean and mean, not 3 hour epics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general theory is that the planned trilogy of sequels was reworked into 4 shorter sequels, ala what happened with The Hobbit. Fortunately the difference here is making that decision while in the scripting phase, rather than halfway through production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Titanic has more heart, sweat, and tears invested into it. Even if some people are still on that "Titanic SUCKS!" mindset, Cameron had a LOT more at stake back then. It was a labor of love, and Fox and Paramount were brave enough to let him make it. Avatar.... well, the CGI was top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,271 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The theatrical cut of Titanic is 3 hours and 15 minutes. Avatar has 3 different cuts: The theatrical cut is 2 hours, 41 minutes.

Naïve Old Fart 9,490 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Longest films that I have sat through at the cinema, include: SCHINDLER'S LIST (3hrs 15 mins) TITANIC (3hrs 15mins) - twice J.F.K. (3hrs 15mins) - twice LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (3hrs 45mins) APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX (3hrs 15mins) THE TOWERING INFERNO (2hrs 45mins) - five times THE SOUND OF MUSIC (2hrs 45mins) all timings are approximate. I'd love to watch CLEOPATRA, and the GODFATHER trilogy at the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
