A report on Twitchfilm indicates that one of the main reasons for the six-month delay of the Vin Diesel-fronted Babylon A.D. in the United States is the cutting room floor.
Apparently, when the film hits movie houses in Europe in early 2008 it will be a longer cut compared the the US release, for which Fox have requested a significantly shorter version.
The European cut of the Matthieu Kassovitz sci-fi flick is said to run at about 160 minutes, which Fox want to cut by at least half an hour for the August 29, 2008 release in the United States.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
