How Long is Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3?

The final season of Game of Thrones is underway and with only six episodes as opposed to the usual 10, we have less time in Westeros than ever before. Despite that, the episode lengths for Season 8 are some of the longest in the show's history.

So how long are the episodes in Game of Thrones Season 8? The Season 8 premiere was the shortest episode of the season at 54 minutes, while episode 2 length was just under a full hour - but episode 3 of Season 8 will be the longest Game of Thrones episode ever at an hour and 22 minutes.

Tom Holland, Russo Brothers to Follow Avengers With Non-Marvel Film Cherry

Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is in talks to star in the Russo Brothers’ upcoming non-Marvel film Cherry.

Per Variety, Joe and Anthony Russo will direct the film using a script from Jessica Goldberg, best known for creating the Hulu series The Path. The Russo Brothers’ production company AGBO acquired the rights to Nico Walker’s novel Cherry last August, and reportedly plans to shoot this summer.

Cherry's plot revolves around Walker’s own life, where he dropped out of college, served as an Army medic in Iraq, returned home after receiving several medals and commendations, suffered from severe PTSD and became addicted to opioids.

Visiting Dumbo’s Real-Life Circus Set

Walking onto Dumbo’s Pinewood set is legitimately like walking into a circus.

As I visit in late 2017, the core of the Medici Circus - the new Dumbo’s birthplace - is remarkably intact, a bustle of tents and stalls cut through with a train track, taking up the bulk of one of the legendary studio’s main spaces. Far from the blown-apart, half-open buildings of a traditional set, this feels like a real place (albeit built inside a whole other real place).

Camera operators have to navigate the gaps between attractions, and tents jostle for space with mixing desks and make-up stations. It might not be being used like a circus - peek inside most of the structures and you’ll find craftily-stored equipment - but it was constructed, at least in part, by trained circus builders, right down to working stables. Going by the smell, they were working recently.
