While talking to actors is always cool, if you want to find out any real information about a project you've got to speak with the director or the producer. After all, they're the ones who make the big decisions. So when I got the opportunity to speak with "Avatar" producer John Landau at this year's Comic-Con, I tried to find out as much information as I could about the film. Unfortunately, the man must have been trained by the NSA, as whenever I got close to finding out something like the running time, he just started to smile and said no comment.

But I might have stumbled on one new piece of info. As most of you know, the running time of "Watchmen" was dictated by IMAX technology. That's because the IMAX projector literally couldn't hold anymore film and that's the reason director Zack Snyder had to lose almost 10 minutes before the film was released. So when I asked John Landau if "Avatar's" running time would be the same as "Watchmen" as that's all the projector can hold, he said it isn't the same running time! Could it be that IMAX and James Cameron have found a way to make the projector hold more film!? Or perhaps he didn't want to tell me the film is shorter than "Watchmen". You can decide for yourself by watching the interview.
