Two Versions of Kassovitz' BABYLON AD

Thanks to regular reader Mary for pointing this one out ... according to the official blog for the film there are two rather different versions of Mathieu Kassovitz' big budget sci-fi actioner Babylon A.D. - with Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh and Gerard Depardieu - being prepared. Europeans are getting a longer cut of the film in theaters in early 2008 while Fox, which holds rights in most non-European regions, have requested a significantly shorter version of the film, which they plan to release in North America at the end of August. According to Allocine the Euro version will run two hours and forty minutes.
