Hello all you Babylon AD friends !

The last days have been busy with news about the length and the rating of Babylon AD. I always find it amazing to see rumors grow from other rumors or misunderstanding. Therefore I think the time is good to give you some updates.

Babylon AD has never had a 2h40min cut. This rumor came from a joke Mathieu did in front of some journalists last september. Apparently some of them didn't understand it... The approximate length of the film is 1h40min and this is what has been delivered to our partner, FOX. So I can reassure you, FOX is not chopping up the film and cutting 70min like I read on Rotten Tomatoes ! :-)

Oh and about the PG13, that was a contractual agreement between Fox and us, so there is no surprise on that end.

The truth is Fox - like any other studio - will have their final cut on their territories and Mathieu Kassovitz has his on the European ones. So there will naturally be a few differences between the two versions.

Now about the film, StudioCanal is working on teasers and the poster for the European territories as I speak. A French teaser should be released on the web quite soon !

Stay tuned for the next blog update!

Best,
Guyom

That's wonderful news (though I would like to know if the rumours that the UK is getting the US-cut version are true - are we not supposedly part of Europe???).


Having read Babylon Babies, I was worried that a shorter film would not be able to go even part way towards explaining the plot, let alone the interaction between characters.


I will now try and sit patiently waiting for August to arrive.

I wonder if the unrated cut will show up on DVD in the US.

So something official from the movie will be really soon... very nice! Thanks, guys! ;) So 160 min wasn't true... 100 min sounds more action or what but I hope that those scenes from Ostrava will stay... BTW BAD is my movie No. 6 of the most looking forward movies for the next years.

I think this movie will be to Diesel the same like as "Terminator" or "Predator" for Schawarzenneger.
Good luck!
