prometheus running time is 119 minutes! new image of vickers

lol no worries guys I do it all the time I am the biggest "bonehead" out there at times, well...almost...hahahahaha

Wow...only 2 hours. That's kind of disappointing. Still, what matters the most is that we get a great movie regardless of length.

Yeah that's all well and good but it hardly merits the term epic that it has been billed being from the onset . Undoubtedly the films message is but i was hoping for an epic in the true sense of the word. That time frame fits about 95% of all movies released these days.

lol, Prometheus @ 1:19 (or 80 minutes) would be a farce. Low, low, low-budget films get cut to 80 minutes. Still, a 2-hour film of this scope, purportedly "all about everything," seems too short. The only thing I can think is that, given the length of this film, a sequel has better than a 50% chance of being made. 60/40? 90/10? Fox, throw me a bone?

Agreed, alteredstate. Using the word, "epic", can be misleading and make one to anticipate a lengthier movie than 2 hours. Scott's 2nd quote from the very [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrxJXy88gSY]1st teaser trailer[/url] is "It's epic. And not just by definition of the scale of sets. It's about the very grand ideas and notions. The surprising things that will appear to be small, but yet will be enormous." And don't forget the the discussion of 'Lawrence of Arabia' and it's director, David Lean, [url=http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/01/14/prometheus-damon-lindelof-ridley-scott-photos-alien-prequel/]here[/url]. I mean, look at the title of the article.

So are these numbers CONFIRMED IN CONCRETE then?? While I most certainly would have liked more, a 2 hour movie will have to do I guess. :( I find it very interesting that did they originally not state way back when that they were thinking of requiring 2 SEPARATE MOVIES to tell the vision of this story that RS had in his mind? If one were to read between the lines of this could one then assume another 2 hour odd movie (Part 2??) is already mentally story boarded in RS's head??

@Phil ... Yes Ridders DID say there would be TWO movies ... the 1st movie will be about the SJ's themeselves ... then the 2nd would be about their home planet ... so a Sequel to the Prequel is on the cards as I read it ... and that's where I would expect (if any) to have a little nod and a wink to the 'Alien' movie crossover ... PLUS ...if it it IS in 2 parts then that's even better ... cheating of some sorts I know ... but 4hrs to tell the story would be ok ... so long as it doesn't take an age to film and wait for the end product ...

and there are Predators in the second film?

Agreed membrane we were sold a lemon on the 'lawrence of arabia ' comparison to this film although i suspect we will get huge sweeping vistas of photography and scenic shots i was hoping for 2.30 hrs bare minimum.

Not exactly Ben Hur is it. That you tube clip was very garbled and badly put together as i am not fluent in french.They could of mixed the sound of the responses much better so that the annoying translator wasn't drowning out the sound of the answers to the questions .

@ GEM, Yep... and if they can get that done by Xmas 2014, it would sort of coincide with the 35th Anniversary of Alien. Im ok with that.. An ALIEN PREQUEL TRILOGY!! It would be the reverse of Star Wars with the BETTER movies coming in the first 3 films!! Cameron will have to relegate himself to the final 3 flicks. Im going to refer to those as the ummm... JAR JAR COLLECTION. ; )

And then It will be David Fincher's turn, with Alien Hypercubed. There have already been talks with Fox, and there is a budget and a time schedule already. I have read somewhere that Finchley will have just over 2 weeks and a full 900$ budget. Also Fox have already stated that they will cut 50% of it, no matter how long it will be. I'm getting excited by the hour!

@Nox ... Hahaha ... Classic ... @Phil ... Good call on the 35th Anni of Alien ... that would be sweet ... trouble is I know after I see this I would want the movie next year lol ... but hey I'm all for celebrations ... drinks at Ridders house :) ...

If Vickers is a android.... I am so buying one...

119 =17 crew members X 7 probably means nothing

All you "it's only 2 hours" bitches, need let us smart kids takeover with the discussions from here cuz it's obvious y'all don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.

It's going to be pants good women and men....the number crunchers seem to still have hold of his balls, even after all these years.

now there's some solid basic algebra for you.

Alien = 117mins... OOOOH WOW ITS CANON etc etc Prometheus = 119 and people nitpick before they even see the damn thing [i]Really?[/i]

although the shorter running time is disappointing, i'd rather have 119 minutes of awesome film making, than i would 140 minutes of superfluous garbage that some films of late are more than happy to bore us with there is ALWAYS the chance that an R-Rated cut with a longer running time could be shown, short-run in the theaters. not likely, but at least i can hope... and...Bluray will be well worth the wait
