The sudden shock of 100% tariffs on foreign-made films has brought a swift response from the British film industry.
A spokesman for the industry was quoted as saying “with the higher prices to show our films in the US, we’ve made the only logical response by doubling the length of our films. This will mean that American moviegoers will retain the same value per minute. Sure", he added, "it’s longer than they’re used to, but at least they’ll have enough time to actually eat their vats of popcorn”
One British film being remade in the new longer format is believed to be “Eight Weddings and Two Funerals”.
