There's been many movie rumors these days…
Along with the delay from February 2008 to the last weekend of August, there was talk that a near three-hour cut of the ‘Babylon A.D.‘ existed and would be shown in European theatres, whilst in the US there would only be a cutdown sub-two hour version of the film.
But official sources said:
“Babylon AD has never had a 2hr 40min cut. This rumor came from a joke [Director] 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 1hr 40min 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 mins.”
There will be some differences however between the US domestic version, rated PG-13, and the harder core international versions
The European cut of the film will run at 105 minutes, whilst the US/UK cut was submitted to the UK's BBFC for classification and was officially pegged at 90 minutes long.
