For a few years after the film was released, we’d hear bits and pieces of news about The Brazilian Job. There were scripts written for the sequel, but Paramount never moved forward with it.

Two-and-a-half hours, sure, but 2 hours and 43 minutes? Not since 2014’s Interstellar have we seen a tentpole of that magnitude. And Blade Runner 2049 looks like it’ll be following in the footsteps of Interstellar, clocking in at a whopping 163 minutes long....

Nor is the type of scene you might expect to see in a standard spy thriller....
