Amazon’s Suspiria to Run Nearly Three Hours Long?
We’ve all been waiting for some kind of official look or taste of Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake, which is being produced by Amazon. While we can’t provide you with any of that, there’s potential new information that has been provided by Hollywood Elsewhere that raises some serious eyebrows.
According to the site, the film has, “…almost an all-woman cast, and featuring a show-stopping nude scene with women of all shapes and ages. Maybe a Cannes ’18 debut but who knows? I forget exactly how long Dario Argento’s original was, but Luca’s version is two hours, 50 minutes.”
Argento’s original Suspiria ran a rather average 98 minutes, so that means the remake is nearly double that, if this information is accurate. Furthermore, they say that Amazon will supposedly self-distribute the film.

Suspiria is written by David Kajganich, who adapts the “remake” from Argento and Daria Nicolodi’s original script, and directed by Luca Guadagnino. It stars Dakota Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Mia Goth, Tilda Swinton, Sylvie Testud, Angela Winkler, Małgosia Bela, Lutz Ebersdorf and Jessica Harper.
Frenesy Film Company, Mythology Entertainment, First Sun Films, and Memo Films produce. Guadagnino, Brad Fischer, Kajganich, Francesco Melzi d’Eril, Marco Morabito, Gabriele Moratti, William Sherak, and Silvia Venturini Fendi are producers on the title while James Vanderbilt, Paul Deason, Massimiliano Violante, and Carlo Antonelli exec produce.
Amazon Studios picked up the project last year for worldwide distribution rights and is financing production.
Argento’s original, which was laden with the supernatural, witches, and a lot of blood, marked the beginning of the director’s “Three Mothers” trilogy, which was followed by Inferno (1980) and The Mother of Tears (2007).
