Filmmaker James Cameron has asked people not to ‘whine’ about the length of Avatar: The Way of Water.

As his highly-anticipated sequel is set for release next month, the 68-year-old director doesn’t think people should complain about its 3 hour and 10 minute runtime because so many TV viewers are willing to binge-watch the entire series in one sitting.

“I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch (television) for eight hours,” said.

Cameron admits the franchise has been ‘hideously expensive’ to make – with an expected budget of around $1 billion for the four sequels – but he recently insisted the upcoming film will deliver ‘three hours of a pretty much insane experience.” —IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
