<\/a>Of the 21 films that Ridley Scott directed prior to making Exodus: Gods and Kings<\/a><\/i>, fully two-thirds were rated R. This includes the historical epics Gladiator<\/i> and Kingdom of Heaven<\/i>, but it does not<\/i> include the historical epics 1492: Conquest of Paradise<\/i> or Robin Hood<\/i>.<\/p>\nSo I\u2019ve been wondering what rating Exodus<\/i> would get from the MPAA when all was said and done. And now we know: it is rated PG-13<\/a> for \u201cviolence including battle sequences and intense images\u201d.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the film\u2019s IMDb page<\/a> reports that the film will run a whopping 200 minutes, or 3 hours and 20 minutes. If that figure is correct, then Exodus: Gods and Kings<\/i> will be the longest film that Ridley Scott has ever directed, beating the theatrical record of 157 minutes set by American Gangster<\/i> and the home-video record of 194 minutes set by the extended roadshow edition of Kingdom of Heaven<\/i>.<\/p>\n \u2013<\/p>\n October 22 update:<\/b> While I was working on this post yesterday, the film\u2019s Twitter account reported that the running time will actually be about 140 minutes:<\/p>\n People have asked, here's the answer: running time of Ridley Scott's 'Exodus: Gods and Kings' will be approximately 2 hours 20 mins.<\/p>\n \u2014 Exodus (@ExodusMovie) October 21, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
