Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci” test-screened at 2 hours and 45 minutes in the summer. Seems like they’ve shaved off 8 minutes from its fatty runtime. An official runtime of 157 minutes is now in the books at the MPAA.
What an astronomical and risk-taking length. One look at the newly released trailer and the first thing you think is pure CAMP. This is a film that will be deliberate in its excess and theatricality. I want to see Pacino hamming it up. Leto is clearly going to deliver a ridiculous performance with that bald wig and fat suit. Gaga sounds like the real Patricia Gucci, which means she’s going to have a ball playing this ridiculous real-life character. Driver looks like the only sane one.
I have a reaction from a Friday evening screening possibly coming my way in an hour. I need to vet it and make sure it’s legitimate, yada yada yada. Stay tuned.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
