Thanks to The Film Stage, who got an official comment from Fox Searchlight, The French Dispatch's actual runtime will be a far more digestible one hour and 48 minutes, a.k.a. This immediately threw into question whether Anderson's reported runtime was legit. Well, eagle-eyed folks noticed the French Dispatch's alleged runtime was identical to Lars Von Trier's two-part film Nymphomaniac. The stories involve an artist sentenced to life imprisonment for a double homicide, student riots, and a kidnapping resolved by a chef.It was revealed via dependable Twitter accounts - including the one for Little White Lies - an update had been made to The French Dispatch's IMDb page which revealed the movie's runtime to be four hours and would possibly even get broken up into two parts to make that runtime more palatable. On the death of the editor-in-chief, the editorial staff decides to publish a last, memorial edition highlighting the three best stories which appeared over the 10-year existence of the magazine. “ The French Dispatch is the European edition of the Liberty, Kansas, Evening Sun – a factual, weekly report on the subjects of world politics, the arts (high and low), fashion, fancy cuisine/fine drink, and diverse stories of human interest set in faraway quartiers.

They were forced to confirm with The Playlist that the real runtime would be under two hours with credits. Film Twitter started mashing the ‘share’ button, and Searchlight feared rumors of such a bladder-busting length would do irreparable harm to their bottom line. IMDb reported that The French Dispatch would have a jaw-dropping runtime of over four hours, with an additional hour added to the director’s cut. In doing so they proved Cunningham’s Law, which states that the best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it’s to post the wrong answer. But last week, IMDb made an error, revealing a number of undisclosed and inaccurate details. Searchlight Pictures (previously Fox Searchlight, since de-Foxed) had been trying to keep details of the anthology film a secret, sharing little more than the enormous, impressive cast. Additionally, Amazon may have accidentally shared the new movie’s release date and parts of the plot. The runtime will be one hour and 45 minutes, not four hours as IMDb originally reported. False reports about Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch have forced Searchlight Pictures to release more details about the film.
