Ha ha i'm there in that video ^^
I stayed away from the crowd.
Papparazzi are not the worst here.
It's the fans.
One guy has almost hugging Scott to get a f**king poster signed.
Later i was at their hotel and those f**king groupies were there too.
Get a life you f**ks.

Sorry Valaqueen

Maaaan, that's my fiance's name 

[NGR01]

Woops sorry again then ^^

[NGR01]

Yep i'm talking about those leech fans that almost assaulted the crew.
I got a life and a decent job thank you for caring
And no i'm not like them, i don't care for signed posters or such stuff. Really not my cup of tea.
Especially when it means assaulting an artist like they did.

So Ridley and Co arrived AFTER the footage was shown??

[NGR01]

In Paris yes,
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.

So, Ridley said that the runtime of the movie is 1:59 and its very tight an its what it should be...... he also said that there was a longer version of it (extra 17 minutes)
But I still can't believe how the EPIC movie with some huge thematic elements can be so "short"

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... 

[NGR01]

2 hours is not short especially if the movie gets down to business fast.
Like it seems to be the case.

it's too short.

Hmmm  I wish it was about two and half hours, but I wish that upon every movie I am excited for. 1:59 isn't bad, but you'll have to take away at least 7 minutes of credits, so we're down to 1:52, atleast. Nitpicking, I know.

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.

[ThisBethesdaSea]

4 hours is NOT a viable running time for something that could potentially make loads of cash. If a film is 3 hours, that means less showings...of course, this may mean nothing as Titanic and Avatar have 3 hour run times.....but Scott doesn't have that kind of credibility. If Prometheus does gangbusters then he can make the sequel as long as he wants it. I hope it does 100+ million the first weekend...then Ridley will be able to do whatever he wants for the foreseeable future.

[CanisMajoris]

Well, the ALIEN was even shorter..... But even Ridley said that it was just a C story done in an A way......just a killing of bench of people in the claustrophobic environment .... "alien felt EPIC, but this IS EPIC" c RS.

But how then??
