the longest Hollywood movie ever made, with a runtime of four hours and eight minutes (248 minutes). 2402:4000:1247:8C29:1:0:F4A2:835E ( talk) 13:57, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
With a runtime of 317 minutes in its original version, 1900 is known for being one of the longest commercially released films ever made. 2600:381:4791:48E8:D1F0:EC0E:1878:3855 ( talk) 14:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Quite seriously, most of the movies listed are very niche. I believe a section for long movies that had a measure of commercial success would be valuable. Mostlegendary ( talk) 03:21, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
I went to the history and I found out that someone had previously added Dune and someone else removed it. According to the description, "This section lists films conceived as an artistic unity and produced simultaneously, or consecutively with no significant interruption or change of production team, even though they were released with separate premières."
The two Dune films so far have been conceived as halves of a whole story and there was no change of production team. "No significant interruption" is up to debate but it only took two years for photography to resume for Part Two, does that count as a long enough interruption? Would it qualify only if they started shooting immediately after finishing the first part? HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 19:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Just a few of points; a) While the producers had said that making the second film would depend on the finacial success of the first, they ended up greenlighting part 2 before part 1's premeire.
b) The only reason the production & release of part 2 was delayed was because of the Hollywood strike. The film was initially intended to be released the following year.
c) The director has said this is a direct sequel, contiuning right where the first left off. There is literally no time jump in the story line between part 1 and part 2.
d) This is why the second film is simply named "Dune: Part Two", and not some other sequel-ish name like: "Dune: Rise of Atreides" (or sum such).
e) This is simply a single story, from a single novel, shot in two parts due to length. This fits right in with the criteria for the (subsection) of this list.
f) All of this supported by the film's articles, and the refs attached to them. - wolf 15:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
