If it's great and leaves one (many) wanting more, the chances for TV spinoffs, etc. increase. And the DVD would have bonus footage.
If's it's tedious at 95 minutes, imagine if it were 33% longer. Probably would be the death of the DT series on film or TV.
All of this is dependent on John Q Public, buying tickets and then spreading the positive news, or burying it.
I was expecting 120-ish, to be honest, but I think 95 works as a first entry. Could be actually helpful. The above-mentioned John Q. Public may not want to plop down for 2+ hours for a weird western fantasy they've never heard about but that looks cool.
Good point. Especially, if it prompts most to look into reading the books!Originally Posted by pablo

The first installments of both the novels and the cinematic franchise look to be the shortest.
Hopefully the short runtime means at least it's a tight movie and they were able to put the money where it needed to be.
On the other hand, we've reached a point where John Q. Public thinks 95 is too short for the steep price of a cinema visit. Honestly, I'm a bit afraid that might influence them to not take the drive to a theatre.
Does the average viewer really pay attention to run time?
I only do when the movie is not very good.

The first thing I ask myself after viewing a film is did this feel shorter or longer than it's run time? If it felt shorter, it's a good movie, if it felt longer, it's a bad movie.Yep. Sure sign of a bad movie is when you look down at your watch.I only do when the movie is not very good.

I was just coming here to post that video.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
A thought:
I believe Stephen Hawking was told, while writing A Brief History Of Time, that every equation he included in the book would cut his sales in half. I am reminded of this when watching this trailer, because I believe that every slow-mo action scene is going to cut my ability to take this film seriously, maybe not by half, but by a good 25%.
I appreciate that DT on film is not = DT on the page, and that changes were made, but for God's sake I don't want just another superhero movie. DT can be something else, so much more than that, and still be a wildly entertaining ride. I hope that's what we get.

Ahhhhh yes. It just wouldn't be a complete day without an extremely cynical post by Cyber lol.

But...but...It's all killer and no filler.
And here's the thing: even IF this was an actual adaptation of the first novel (which it isn't by any stretch of the imagination) 95 is still pretty short. The Mist was based on novella, maybe 120 pages or so. Not counting the last five minutes the film version is pretty close to what King wrote and that movie was a little over two hours.

I'm in your camp. I'm going to try and go in with an open mind and try to keep the books on the back burner. I'd like to enjoy this.

This featurette made me more excited for the movie than any of the trailers. Love that closing-haunting melody too, I hope they keep it throughout the franchise.
