Robert Wise‘s Oscar-winning West Side Story (’61) ran 152 minutes. Is there anyone who believes that Steven Spielberg’s forthcoming version will run any less than 160 minutes?
Put another way: If Spielberg’s version runs shorter than Wise’s, I’ll be fucking flabbergasted.
Jordan Ruimy is reporting that a research screening of Ridley Scott‘s House of Gucci ran 165 minutes. Adam McKay‘s Don’t Look Up will run 145 minutes. Paul Thomas Anderson‘s Licorice Pizza will run 128 minutes, per AMC. Guillermo del Toro‘s Nightmare Alley will run 139 minutes.
