You also have to accommodate about 6 mins for end credits these days too.
I was kind of including all the credits.
Yes, what I was getting at was that a 140-150 film now is a shorter film than say in the 1960s, when credits were shorter.
Sure. OHMSS would be 3 or 4 mins longer now. I suspect they will want to keep NTTD within that 150 min mark and not any longer.
Don't know. Only provided the Instagram post
SP script is 130 pages and 203 scenes. NTTD is 133 pages. But it's not saying much. A five minute dialogue-scene is usually much longer than a five minute action scene in scripts. What I do like is that they are not being pushed by executives to limit the runtime to fit in two-hour slots or so, which is luckily a thing of the past. Many movies have been destroyed because of this, hence the many later released director's cuts.
Looking back through the clapperboard thread and the 3 hour rumour definitely explains the 250+ scene numbers.
The 250 number is B-roll clapperboards. And unless it's a fake, 133 pages have been confirmed because the first page of the script (dated April 12, 2019 and only contains disclaimers and such) has leaked.
There is a scene 243 first unit clapperboard here -
By B-roll you're probably mistaking it for second unit, which is where the scene number is preceded by X...and the first 200+ clapperboard that was poster was from that.
Where did the page leak? First I heard of this...
That's second unit. B-roll means someone shooting BTS footage.
I got the first page of the script, with '133 pages' in print. Technically the script has 132 pages since the first page just have 'Bond 25' and the usual danjaq info
Posted by an unknown crew member in April but deleted within an hour or so.
B-roll is supplemental or alternative footage intercut with the main shot. They are often using a different clapperboard-system from the 1st unit.
There's a nice explanation here:

It’s a date, @ColonelSun

I felt SPECTRE should have been trimmed a minimum of ten minutes as the pacing wasn't nearly on par with OHMSS or CR.
I personally don't want a 3 hour plus Bond film. Save that for GONE WITH THE WIND or THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
"better make that 3"
Precisely.
I’m not sure I agree with you but I must say you’ve chosen perhaps the best screen name for anyone on a Bond forum I’ve ever seen. Guts indeed!
:)
I want it to mesmerise me no matter how long or short it is. It can be a short but exciting punk song as much as it can be Pink Floyd´s Echoes, as long as its groove doesn´t let me stray.
I tend to agree, but if it’s good or great, then let this be an epic finale to Craig’s era.
