Much hue and cry has been raised over the rumor that Vin Diesel future-world flick Babylon A.D. would have a 160-minute European version, but only a 90-minute U.S. version. Now the producers have taken the time to quash this rumor in the most believable way possible, by posting on MySpace. Here’s what they said: “Babylon AD has never had a 2h40min cut. This rumor came from a joke Mathieu [Kassovitz] 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 70 [minutes], like I read on Rotten Tomatoes! :-)” Yup, sounds true. Especially with that smiley icon at the end. [SciFi Wire]
