A24′s ‘Civil War’: Runtime of upcoming action epic revealed and it is not three hours
Alex Garland upcoming action epic "Civil War’’, depicting a near-future United States in turmoil, actually runs for a confirmed 109 minutes, not the inaccurately listed 3 hours and 15 minutes. A24 has clarified this to Variety.
Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman lead the cast in a film immersing audiences in the intensity of a fresh American civil conflict. The trailer picks with glimpses of widespread destruction and news announcements declaring the secession of «19 states.”
In the trailer, Offerman, portraying the U.S. President, announces a significant defeat for the Western forces in Texas and California at the hands of the United States military.
Dunst takes on the role of a photographer in a dystopian world where government air strikes target civilians, and journalists face immediate danger in the Capitol.
Directed and written by Garland, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker responsible for works such as „Ex Machina,“ „Annihilation,“ and the recent „Men,“ „Civil War“ delves into a gripping narrative. Garland, also known for creating the 2020 FX series „Devs,“ features Offerman in a prominent role.
A24 collaborates with Gregory Goodman and DNA’s Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich on production. Goodman's previous productions include „Three Kings,“ „8 Mile,“ „Captain Phillips,“ and „22 July.“
Extended movie runtimes have sparked debate among audiences, yielding diverse box office outcomes.
Blockbusters like „Oppenheimer“ and „Avatar: The Way of Water“ surpass three hours, while Martin Scorsese’s „Killers of the Flower Moon“ stretches to 3 hours and 26 minutes.
