Well, like it or not, its the corporations that actively discourage long movies. They hate 3 hour runtimes. It means they have less showtimes they can squeeze in on any given day.
I would LUV a 3hr Prometheus... There is certainly enough ground to cover in it, but I dont think it will happen.
Im gonna say 2 hrs 22 minutes tops.

I am gonna say 125 mins.
I don't expect anything too long but I am hoping for 150 mins and an R rating, we have to remember that the studio is going to want the maximize profits, and in the end, Ridley will care about that too.
Either way, I am betting the Blu-Ray release will have some extra scenes in it...Scott's movies always have some extra footage thrown back in on the DVD. KoH is a great example of this, and made the movie MUCH better.
So I am hoping that as much of Ridley's vision is kept in the theatrical version!

Before there was even talk of a sequel to Prometheus, didn't Mr Scott mention that he wanted to make two movies... maybe he has? Perhaps he's merged two story lines into a single epic movie - I can't imagine two+ hours of crew members rummaging around temples and killing stuff. There MUST be something else seriously deep and involving. Hope so.

Someone tossed out a length of 190 minutes. I am hoping for that but well, i doubt that will happen.
