Oscar-winning director James Cameron has said that he wants to make six-hour films for streaming platforms such as Netflix. In an interview Cameron said, “I’m not afraid. I like change. I’m a child of the ’60s. I like it when things are chaotic. I think what we can see is an expanded form of cinema. I want to do a movie that’s six hours long and two-and-a-half hours long at the same time. Same movie.”

Planning to create two versions of his movies, he adds, “You can stream it for six hours, or you can have a condensed, rollercoaster, immersive version of that experience in a movie theatre. Same movie. Just, one’s the novel, and one’s the movie. Why not? Let’s just use these platforms in ways that haven’t been done before.”
