I wrote on 09.27.21 that a “House of Gucci” (11.24.21) test-screening had a runtime of 165 minutes. That was an early cut and it seems as though director Ridley Scott has shaved off 15 minutes since that report. The New York Times’ Kyle Buchanan is saying that the official runtime for the upcoming film will be 2 and a half hours.
“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
