Yahoo Movies SPECTRE Will Be The Longest Bond Movie Ever
Right Bond fans, cushions at the ready – ‘SPECTRE’ is officially the longest Bond movie in history.
The run time of Bond 24 is 148 minutes, so nearly two-and-a-half hours.
It beats both 'Casino Royale’, the previous record-holder which came in at 144 minutes, and its lengthy predecessor 'Skyfall’, which notched up 143 minutes.
This is an improvement, however, on initial cuts of the movie, which were said to have run as long as 160 minutes.
The hotly-anticipated movie lands later this month, starring Daniel Craig alongside series regulars Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear and Ralph Fiennes.
They’re joined by Léa Seydoux, Monica Bellucci, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott and Christoph Waltz, who will be playing villain Franz Oberhauser.
The synopsis goes like this:
“In the aftermath of Raoul Silva’s attack on MI6, a cryptic message sets in motion events that will see James Bond come face-to-face with the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE. While Gareth Mallory, the newly appointed M, continues fighting political pressures that threaten the future of MI6, Bond discovers that the only way to unravel the web of conspiracy is to protect the innocent daughter of a powerful enemy. Following a trail from Mexico to Italy, Austria and Morocco, he is forced to operate outside his purview as he is drawn into a confrontation with an enemy from his past.”
It’s out across the UK on October 26.
