How long was the first cut of Skyfall?
BROCCOLI: There’s not much of a difference. What happens is that, because we shoot for a very long period of time, we have the legendary Stuart Baird cutting the movie, and he cuts alongside [the production]. By the time we finish shooting, there’s an assembly. It’s deliberately a little long and a little loose because you want to have the opportunity to fine tune it. So, Stuart had a great assembly, and he and (director) Sam [Mendes] worked on it for a couple of weeks, and then presented it to us. It was probably only about 8 to 10 minutes longer than the cut is now.
And do you have a final running time on it now?
BROCCOLI: I think it’s 2 hours and 21 minutes, or something around there.
So, you don’t have too many deleted scenes, then?
BROCCOLI: No, we don’t. Very little was deleted.

Yes, 143 minutes seem to be the final running time.

I hate this deleted scenes bs. I´m absolutely on Scorsese´s side, when he said that the film is what is shown on the screen, not any deleted scenes.
Having said that, I just ordered the director´s cut of Last of the Mohicans. :\">
What's even worse is how some films deliberately shoot multiple endings and scenes intended to be deleted, so the DVD/BR releases can shout it out that their version is 'uncut' or 'the director's cut' or 'the version you've never seen'...
Having scenes in a film just because they are cool, even if the film as a whole doesn´t gel, is more Tarantino´s metier, not Bond´s.
Well it's more of a comic relief thing, and I think it does a good job of
I don't mind expanded versions so long as the additional scenes add something that was needed to the movie. I hate these so-called Director Cuts that actually end up shorter or with only 4 added minutes. Though I think there's plenty of circumstances where an expanded version is justified, such as Once Upon a Time in America which was butchered to get more cinema showings squeezed into a single day, or Kingdom of Heaven which benefited from the longer version. I still hope to see an Expanded version of Prometheus some day.
That would be very stupid if it happenend. Just because the trailers has putted such a empahtize on just those sequences. But it will be interesting to see how those scenes are going to be!
It should be done by this Friday at the latest, so any day now. I'm eager to see what the BBFC have to say.
To me 143 minutes always sounds longer than 2 hr 23! Doh, must stop taking these stupid pills!
I would doubt the swimming scenes were cut, there is just too much buzz around them but we never know!
