Hey everyone, hope you are all staying safe & practising social distancing during these troubled times. With no news or spoilers to talk about I thought I’d begin a new discussion on Runtime! What do you think it will be? What do you want it to be? What’s too long? What’s too short? All that jazz.
Ghostbusters is always a tricky one for me. A) it’s a comedy and comedies should be on the shorter side but B)I LOVE the characters and could watch them interact all day long. That being said..
I think the runtime will be about 110 minutes, maybe a bit less. Of course, the movie will be as long as it needs to be, but since the production had a shoot of less than 70 days, 110 minutes sounds right. Anything less than 100 minutes is too short for me.
One of my criticism of GB16 was its editing and length(and there was an even longer version!) so keeping the film as tight as possible would be great.
The first GB film has a terrific pace. There isn’t a single deleted scene I’d add back in or a single scene the movie could loose. It’s a masterclass in editing & pace.
Jason’s films all tend to be on the shorter side.
