It's official - Spectre is the longest instalment in the 50-plus year history of the James Bond franchise.

Official ticketing information obtained by Digital Spy lists the Sam Mendes movie's running time at 148 minutes.



By comparison, the previous record holder was Casino Royale's 144 minutes - while 2012's Skyfall clocked in at 143 minutes.



Prior pre-release material indicated that Spectre's running time could be as long as 160 minutes - although that turned out not to be the case.

Daniel Craig is back as 007 (for the last time?) for an adventure that spans a Day of the Dead parade in Mexico City all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to the snow-covered Austrian Alps.



James Bond is on his own when the international terror group SPECTRE and its enigmatic leader Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz) target him for death.



Spectre opens in UK cinemas on October 26 - before landing in the US on November 6.
