The Run Time Length Thread

[Ace of Knaves]

I would say it is a 96-100 minute movie which to me is way under two hours. Most films don't go below 90 minutes anyways.

Yea no big budget films go below 90. But I honestly don't think credits would be 10 minutes long. And if they are, that must include mid credit scenes and after credit scenes. I still find it strange that it was X3 credits on the workprint, maybe another scene?

 

[chaseter]

There is a big difference between seeing a movie on your pc screen and going on the first weekend with a huge ass crowd and being in the thick of it.

I agree. I liked X3 when I saw it in theatres and then after watching it a second time, I liked it less. Same with SM3, POTC3, Matrix Revolutions. I went midnight to those and had some dissapointments but went and watched them again and just became very dissapointed with those movies. Those aren't films I can watch over and over again because they aren't as good as their predecessors and aren't great pieces of cinema.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

He did say that but that was a lie. Tom Rothman tells some many of them that we just loose track of them. He said that the workprint was missing 10 minutes. The workprint is 107 minutes and the movie's runtime has now been officially annonced to be...107 minutes!

Yea I know who Rothman is, and I know what he is all about.

But just because he says the workprint is missing 10 minutes of footage, doesn't automatically mean that 10 minutes was going to be added on. He didn't actually say "Well the workprint is 10 minutes shorter than the full version". He said there is 10 minutes of unseen/missing footage.

 

[chaseter]

Do you have his exact quote?

 

[FaT_tONle]

Yeah they are really going to replace entire scenes in the workprint with something completely different...

If you have seen the leak, you'd realize that there is no room whatsoever for flexibility as far as replacing a scene with entirely new footage, or adding a scene if 107 is indeed the runtime. What Rothman probably meant were to 2-3 minutes worth of missing footage added to smooth the shoddy editing job of the workprint... and the other 8-10 minutes of the actual credits for this film and not X-3. I don't know how Fox still has any credibility with any of you guys... it never ceases to amaze me.

No, do you? I'm the one asking for it, I'm not proclaiming "THIS IS WHAT ROTHMAN SAID!" Well, not any more so than you guys

I'm not a fan of Fox, never said I was. But until there is proof that there were either lying or telling the truth, I'm sitting on the fence. And so should everyone else IMO.

I believe Rothman's quote was to the tune of 10 minutes of additional footage. I may be mistaken but I believe that is what he said. That is why so many here got excited because he promised 10 extra minutes.

I don't see how people can still believe what Rothman says anymore.On the brighter side of things, over in the Transformers thread Michael Bay updated a comment saying how the new Transformers 2 trailer will be before Wolverine. I guess that's a bit more incentive to see this in the theatre.
I also have to agree with Ace about the 10 minutes. Rothman most likely meant footage that was shot...but whether it makes it in the final cut is a whole other story.

 

[chaseter]

No, do you? I'm the one asking for it, I'm not proclaiming "THIS IS WHAT ROTHMAN SAID!" Well, not any more so than you guys

Wow I just asked for it No reason to get defensive I said what I thought he said and you said you were going to find it so I didn't look...jebsus

Ay? I'm not getting defensive about it.

And anyway I've just found it, and yes, Rothman does lie.

It's about 10 minutes shorter...

But that still doesn't rule out the possibility that there was some chopping and changing in the editing process. Because the fact is the workprint is AT LEAST 2 months old, because that "spoiler" review that was up about 2 months ago was about this cut. Plus there is unfinished CGI that was finished in the 3rd trailer that was released about 2 months ago.

But yes, Rothman lied about the 10 minutes.

 

[chaseter]

I wish when I lie I would get millions of dollars

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Or get ****ING PROMOTED!!!!!

I did a nice little manip of Wade cutting Rothmans head off to show my feelings for him, hope he sees it

 

[chaseter]

Post it!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It's nothing special, only took a few minutes to whip up. But as they say, it's the thought that counts

 

[chaseter]

bwahahahahaha

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Oh imagine if by some miracle Marvel or New Line got the rights to a Deadpool film and they actually had a scene where Deadpool bursts into a board room meeting and starts slaying executives Matt Damon in Dogma style, with one being a spitting image of Tom Rothman.

 

[dark_b]

i dont remember this scene in the workprint(without the head obviously)

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I think it is, but it's very, very quick. Like blink and you'll miss it quick.

This needs to be done in his comic as wellt: To avoid legal trouble the guy being killed can be called Rom Tothman.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yes!!!!!!

 

[Peter McCabe]

The leaked workprint was put together BEFORE the January reshoots.

That makes it 4-months-old.

*Rothman's statement may be deceiveing, or it may just be out of context.

As of now, I believe that those reshoots conducted in January weren't extensions to the movie - but instead replacement shots.

I have a strong feeling that the workprint didn't sit well with alot of people (including that reviewer that simply caught it a bit late) so Hood and Jackman decided to go back and do some reshoots on things they weren't happy about.

The final film may not be 10 minutes longer, but it may be 10 minutes different

 

[chaseter]

I don't think there will be 10 minutes different because Rothman would have said so or corrected his statement. They all just shouted out a number to try and reassure some fans to get them in the seats. Sure there might be some different things but I doubt 10 minutes worth. Also, I think some of the pickups/reshoots were used for promo stuff like the MTV character videos.

 

[Daredevil_2003]

And it will still suck. This movie has problems up the ass. You'd have to write a new script and reshoot the whole thing to make it a signifigantly improved film.

Dude, the MTV Promos were shot during Principal Photography in the spring of 2008.

The only people these reshoots focus on are Reynolds, Schreiber and Jackman.

Jackman himself talked about how Reynolds only had 3 days of shooting during principal photography (the leaked workprint) and 6 days of shooting during the reshoots - NOT featured in the leak.

They definitely changed something and there's a MASSIVE chance it involves the fate of Deadpool.

*Not trying to persuade you to be an optimist, Chaseter - just trying to get you to be a realist

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea and Reynolds himself stated that what he shot in January was not extra scenes. They were all originally part of the principle shoot, but because he was already committed to 2 other films he had to film the majority of his parts in January.

Disagreed wholeheartedly. You make it sound as if this is Elektra or Fantastic Four or something.
