How much footage have we seen so far?

Has anybody calculated how much original footage we have seen so far? If we remove all the duplicate shots and scenes from all the trailers, teasers and featurettes, how long would it add up to? I reckon between 5 and 10 minutes, what do you think? Maybe somebody with video editing tools and enough time in their hands could make a patchwork of all the known footage.

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

I have to put the kids to bed, so......... 2no almost 3 min trailers, 1no 2 min, 2 x 1 min = 10 mins + 1 min of extras? I would say 30% - 40% of the footage is repeated, some scenes appear in all traliers, so around 7 mins? So 6%ish? If this is only 6ish% of the movie (or 6% of the best bits) what haven't we seen yet? I think we can kiss goodbye to the unkown that was Alien, but hope the very best is still to be revealed in around a month........
