The Irishman, the latest film from Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese, which reunites not only Robert De Niro and Al Pacino but Joe Pesci, will make its world premiere as the opening night selection at September’s New York Film Festival, and the film’s run time has been revealed.
The Irishman clocks in only 20 minutes shorter than Lawrence of Arabia and 5 minutes longer than The Godfather Part II with a total run time of 210 minutes (3.5 hours). The reveal was published on the New York Film Festival site.
The Irishman becomes the longest film in the iconic career of Scorsese. It is a full half-hour longer than The Wolf of Wall Street, 32 minutes longer than Casino, 42 minutes longer than Gangs of New York, 62 minutes longer than Goodfellas, and 96 minutes longer than Taxi Driver.
The Irishman hits theaters November 1 followed by Netflix on November 27.
