A movie is very different when you’re writing the script and you’re building a story compared to what the final product is.
At the beginning, when you’re writing and building the beats of the story, everything that you put in there seems very essential to the story.
Nobody who’s seen the movie has had any complaint.
You cannot deliver a 4-hour movie because people will start to feel uncomfortable – no matter what they see – but we ended up having a movie that is 2 hours and 45 minutes, and the pacing is very good.
