Vin Diesel‘s next movie
Babylon A.D. has had its running time drastically chopped by studio
20th Century Fox.
Twitch Film reports that the original cut, which ran 2 hours and 40 minutes, has been slashed to 90 minutes for its UK release.
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has also awarded the film a 12A rating, suggesting that much of the action and violence from the film has been cut.
Babylon A.D. stars Vin Diesel as a mercenary who escorts a woman from post-apocalyptic Russia to New York. The pair find themselves tracked by a cult who want to use the woman to genetically engineer a Messiah.
Michelle Yeoh, Mélanie Thierry, Gérard Depardieu and
Charlotte Rampling star in the
Mathieu Kassovitz-directed film.
Babylon A.D. is scheduled for release on August 29.
