By A new posting has revealed that Dennis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated sci-fi epic “Dune: Part II” will be the director’s longest film to date.
Gavin in Cinema points to a screenshot from a Japanese film regulator named The Film Classification and Rating Organization which has reportedly classified the film as having a runtime of 166 minutes (2hr 46min).
That’s eleven minutes longer than the 155 minute first part and three minutes longer than his previous longest film – “Blade Runner 2049”.
This adaptation of the second half of Frank Herbert’s novel will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.
Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Stephen McKinley Henderson return and are joined by Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha, and Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot.
In the U.S. the film is rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, some suggestive material and brief strong language. It will open in cinemas everywhere on March 1st.
