Ethan Hawke has hit out at movies that are too long.
The Training Day star complained about Hollywood’s trend of making movies that outstay their welcome claiming that only movies with ’important subject matters’ should be allowed lengthy running times.
The actor told the Los Angeles Times: "I don't know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long.
"It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi; something with very important subject matters.
"Now, it doesn't matter what you're making a movie about; everyone thinks their movie is so brilliant that it has to be three hours long. Not to be critical but... well, we all know which movies those are."
Hawke returns to the big screen this week with the latest vampire movie Daybreakers alongside Sam Neil and Willem Defoe.
Daybreakers is out now.
