With an official duration of 2h43, “Waiting can die”, in theaters next month, will be the longest film in the James Bond saga.
Delayed several times due to the global health crisis, Dying Chan White will be released in theaters on October 6. And the new James Bond can already boast a record: with an official duration of 2h43, Daniel Craig’s last mission is the longest film in the cult saga. The previous record was held by Spectre, which showed a duration of 2h28.
Daniel Craig in Agent 007 Tuxedo tunes with XXL format, the 4 longest films in the Saga are actually monopolized by the British actor. Waiting for the Dying Channel and Behind the Spectre, Living in Casino Royale (2h24) and Skyfall (2h23). An interesting detail: the shortest part is the bond carried by Craig, in this case Quantum of Souls and its duration, completely moderate for this type of product, is 1h46.
To be complete on the question, the longest James Bond films by Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan are Never Never (2h17), Dangerously Yours (2h11), License to Kill (2h13) and Die Another Day (2:13). Although George Lazenby only plays 007 once, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, he benefits from a generous screen presence, the film being the fifth longest in the franchise at 2h20.
