The Revenant running time revealed - a long journey
Reports say that the film will run for 156 minutes when it opens in late 2015 in the States and early 2016 in Ireland and the UK. That's a little on the lengthy side, pushing close to three hours when you factor in getting settled in your seats and braving those ads and trailers.
But we're also totally ok with a longer running time because there's a lot to get through in the story of fur trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo diCaprio) who is on an expedition with a group of men and comes up against a bear and is brutally mauled. Presumed dead, he's buried and abandoned by people he thought were his friends. But Glass doesn't go down so easily, and vows terrible vengeance on those who left him behind - which is where the title comes from, referring to a spirit which returns from beyond the grave. And isn't happy about it.
