Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors in Hollywood who gets to make original epic movies.
Interstellar, released in November 2014, was his longest film with a running time of two hours and 49 minutes.
…that’s 62 minutes less than Interstellar, the acclaimed director’s previous movie.
Dunkirk is also substantially shorter than fellow 2017 summer movie, Michael Bay’s Transformers: The Last Knight, which opens Wednesday and runs a hefty two hours and 29 minutes.
