Babylon A.D.

[nocomics]

I always read Bullseye, at any rate Affleck wasn't the problem for DD, it was MSJ and Fox.

QFT

Saying vindiesel would be a good DD,is like saying Stathem would make a good Crow


*hmm, the asian chick in that one pic,ain't she from the movie Sunshine? Thought I recognized her...

I'm really looking forward to this. I'll admit it. I'm a Diesel fan. Pitch Black, Fast and the Furious, XXX, Riddick. Vin oozes badass. t:

I even liked The Pacifier.

I wish Vin would make Riddick 2 instead of FTTF4.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I know, i really think Riddick as a trilogy could turn out to be something special, i liked the theatrical cut of the first movie, but thought the Directors cut was far superior, so i hope they continue it.

And is there any more news on Babylon A.D, i think it looks awesome.

 

[xwolverine2]

this movie looks really 'bleh'

totally passable...

 

[Advanced Dark]

I can't wait for this film. I hope he sticks to this genre instead of doing Pacifier 2.

Merde! That blows! Chances are I'll be watching the shorter version! Damn!

Two hours and forty minutes? That't either a cool 2 hours and 40 mintes of Vin Diesel awesomeness. Or 2 hours and 40 minutes of Vin Diesel... poop?.

Significantly shorter? Fox you're doing it again...WTF?

UPDATE

The Fox editing epidemic has struck this movie too. The confirmed running time according to the British Board of Film Classification is....

To be fair, we really haven't seen anything outside of a still of Mark as Payne.

Yes but it's at Fox, even if they make a decent movie the chances of it making the screen in tact are not good.

All we can do is pray. Pray, Hunter, pray!

It's confirmed that Europe will still be getting the cut that is 70 minutes longer than the US version.

Read about that. Hopefully they cut seventy minutes out of the film for a reason.

 

[Retroman]

I'm willing to bet that the longer version is better.

This is why i can't really look forward to Max Payne, i hate Fox.

And Dragonball...

Babylon A.D. Rumors Debunked
Source: VinXperience
April 11, 2008


A rumor has surfaced on many sites this past week saying that director Mathieu Kassovitz's Babylon A.D., starring Vin Diesel, would get a shorter cut here in North American and be shown as a 2 hour and 40 minute movie overseas. Production company MNP Entreprise has addressed the rumor:

The last days have been busy with news about the length and the rating of Babylon AD. I always find it amazing to see rumors grow from other rumors or misunderstanding. Therefore I think the time is good to give you some updates.

Babylon AD has never had a 2h40min cut. This rumor came from a joke Mathieu did in front of some journalists last september. Apparently some of them didn't understand it... The approximate length of the film is 1h40min and this is what has been delivered to our partner, FOX. So I can reassure you, FOX is not chopping up the film and cutting 70min like I read on Rotten Tomatoes !

Oh and about the PG13, that was a contractual agreement between Fox and us, so there is no surprise on that end.
The truth is Fox - like any other studio - will have their final cut on their territories and Mathieu Kassovitz has his on the European ones. So there will naturally be a few differences between the two versions.

Now about the film, StudioCanal is working on teasers and the poster for the European territories as I speak. A French teaser should be released on the web quite soon!

In the sci-fi action-thriller, opening Stateside on August 29, a veteran-turned-mercenary (Diesel) agrees to escort a woman from Russia to Germany, not realizing that she's the host for an organism that a cult wants to harvest into a genetically-modified Messiah.

^Just sounds like Fox have made them say these comments to take a bit of heat from themselves, good job i live England, sounds like we'll be getting a better cut, if not a longer one, at least.

Is this still coming out in August ? If so then this has crappier marketing then The Incredible Hulk & The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor combined

Technically, this film has a "sizzle" reel out for the public.

The Mummy... not so much.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome high-resolution pictures, Hunter!
