This morning, 20th Century Fox held a press event in London’s Leicester Square and showed off around 15 minutes of footage from Prometheus and held a Q&A session with director Ridley Scott and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron. There are a few reports online so far:
The footage opens in the year 2089 where Shaw finds some markings inside a cave (filmed on the island of Sky). Then the footage cuts to 2093 showing David and Vickers on the Prometheus ship. We’re introduced to the characters before a holographic Peter Weyland explains their mission. Read the full reports for more information. Beware of major spoilers. One thing they make clear is that the planet the story takes place on is not LV-426 but another planet called LV-223. Thanks to Darkoo for the news.
If they're all PG-13, they make that much more money. That's why.
I think, and lets just say it's going to be PG 13, there is no reason why the IMAX 3D versions can't be rated R, and the other versions be rated PG-13.
It's not financially feasible and would likely confuse the audience. Not to mention potentially divide and then lose some of their audience.
lol just round it up... 1 Min off by 2 hours? wow if it's true.. still tho...
A.L.I.E.N Runtime: 117 Min | 116 min (director's cut)
Aliens Runtime: 137 Min and the USA: 154 min (special edition)
Alien³ Runtime: 114 min | 145 min (2003 Special 'Assembly Cut' Edition)
Alien Resurrection Runtime: 109 min | 116 min (2003 Special Edition)
Prometheus Runtime: 119 Min (hope we get around 140 min on the blu-ray)
Damn, still better than nothing.
I know
"Hi, I'm Glaive, and I'm a "Prometheus-o-holic...Nice ta know ya!!"
A 119 min run time would do for me
Actually, since your last post was quite humorous, I'm gonna call truce.
...also, if you NEED to post an emoticon to show a point...it REALLY undermines things.
(...ahhh, you're American...that explains...)
Reading his entire post.
We all know sarcasm does not go well over on the interwebs. That's why there are such things as emoticons, specifically this one -
Try understanding sarcasm/ irony before you post, Prime113.

No one actually said any of that, they just expressed an opinion about it... isn't that what these forums are for!! Stop being such a killjoy...pleeeaaassssee.
And you can't say you a truly satisfied or not satisfied until you've see the movie.
"It's only 2 hours? I'm already disappointed"
"It's not rate R? It'll suck. You sellout Ridley Scott."
"Too much CGI...You sold out Ridley Scott. but use CG with to make the Jockey seem 13 foot tall, that's fine"
That's what I hope to be saying for days if not weeks after my first screening.
...and probably more so after that first screening....
"what did we miss....what did we miss" lol
Oh, I have faith, man. Even with the less than ideal running time, and the PG-13 rating, I will be there Friday at noon with the biggest smile in the world on my face.
Yes, that's really disappointing, expected it to be 2 hrs 30 mins at least, especially for such a huge summer 3D blockbuster release. Then again, what with Rothman pushing for a PG-13 and all the hype FOX is putting behind this movie to put bums on seats, I'm probably not the only one here thinking maybe they've shown too much already. I wouldn't be suprised if this film was butchered for its theatrical release, but with home cinema systems so great these days as long as we get old Riddles' version at some point, I couldn't care less.
Scott said it was 1H59 without the credits.
Again its all about execution.
Its the same with the rating.
Have a little faith fellows.
Damnit!
Yes, he IS serious.
...and DON'T call him Shirley.
...(someone had to...)
Granted, Avatar was a success but the story could have very easily been told in 2 hours.
The PG-13 rating was pretty shitty, but hearing Ridley Scott, one of my inspirations, sell out was the hardest part. Damnit, Scott!
Surely you aren't. Look at Cameron's last two movies $$$$ wise, now look at Scott's.
...surely you're not serious!!!
yeah... I could live with that....... if it was R..
I see they want to make as much money as possible, but making it shorter and + compromising the rating and watering it down is what I call a Fu$ed Up Movie..
BTW Ridley is sure that the runtime is perfect for this and it gives me some hope... but still
Remember, Avatar had James Cameron, the beginning of the 3-D craze, and, well some other stuff I won't mention. Prometheus has Ridley Scott, yes, but his name isn't as automatic as Cameron(in the public eyes). And the 3-D might help it, but this isn't being released at the beginning of the current 3-D craze, its coming at the end.
1:59 without credits..... but its still short....
avatar was 40 minute longer and it f$#ed up every single movie in BO....
just curious how they squeezed everything in 2 hours, but i feel i'll be disappointed....
But how then??
Also, we have to remember that we are dealing with one of the greediest companies out there. I wouldn't put it past FOX to make Ridley cut it down 45 minutes or so to fit another showing in per day.
it's too short.
Like it seems to be the case.
yup, very disappointing. they did compare it, from the start to the nearly 4 hour blockbuster "lawrence of arabia" and now it turns to be half of it's size. what a shit load of f**k...
But I still can't believe how the EPIC movie with some huge thematic elements can be so "short"
the footage then "and now please welcome Sir Ridley Scott & co".
Later at an hotel nearby they made one on one interviews with the big french medias.
