James Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar" will open in theaters and IMAX everywhere Dec. 18, 2009, but until now, on one really knew the film's final running time. Now the answer is here: 150 minutes.

Twentieth Century Fox's Bruce Snyder told the Hollywood Reporter the movie would run 2.5 hours. With all credits added, it may even run for a total of 156 minutes, but definitely not longer.

The reason why "Avatar" won't run any longer is the inability of some IMAX theaters to play a movie longer than 170 minutes. "Avatar" will play in 3D at around 2,500 locations (180 IMAX) and 2D at 1,500 locations.

By now, I'm sure you've all at least heard of Sam Worthington, one of the stars you will be seeing in James Cameron's upcoming 3D spectacle "Avatar." Worthington starred in a couple of things here and there, but his most recent big role was Marcus Wright in "Terminator Salvation." Yeah, that guy!

Now that the first footage from "Avatar" is out there, the folks @ComingSoon recently asked Worthington to comment on the trailer. He said the following about some responses being not all too awesome:

It's Monday Aug. 17, 2009, the release of James Cameron's "Avatar" is still four months away, and yet, viewers eager to see the film are going nuts. Why? In case you haven't heard yet, 20th Century Fox will show an extended preview of the 3D spectacle on Aug. 21, and today was the day people could order their tickets.

Well... that was the idea. A special ticket page on AvatarMovie.com was supposed to go live at noon PDT today, but many users logging on only got a bold error message in return. This is not a lie, because I myself reloaded the page five times and always received the same message. But no ticket information...

No, this is no joke. James Cameron and 20th Century Fox will launch the trailer for Cameron's "Avatar" and new footage from the film on Aug. 21, 2009, a date they adequately named "Avatar Day."

The worldwide trailer launch will be presented in all formats, and it will also debut online. Select cinemas and IMAX theaters will screen extended footage from the 3D project.

Details on locations and reserving tickets for this event have not yet been announced, but the footage will only be shown in 3D. We'll keep you posted.

I'm certainly a fan of teasers and trailers, but I'm not sure if I actually want to see a bunch of footage from such a big flick before its actual release. I'll be looking for the trailer for sure, but I'll definitely pass on the rest.
