FFFF-ING 147 MINUTES :-D!!! Longest Bond film ever after "OHMSS", "CR" and even "SF" :-D !!!!
Damn, I'm getting insane!
1 confirmation of Craig for one if not two more bond films
2 confirmation of mendes as director to complete his trilogy
3 tickets for the premier
My only possible issues are 1 and 2 are not SP related so it doesn't make sense to talk about this stuff now. So they would have to back it up with something more current. New trailer? Hardly worthy of a press conference!
It won't be anything negative it would be suicide to create any detrimental PR and they are much too intelligent for that.

And the concept art from the same eBay guy's listings:
Well given the showings begin at 8pm - I assume everyone will just flee the red carpet at 7-ish :))
The police will think street riots have started again, people flooding to the cinemas. :)>-
Also - looks like BOTH the Empire IMAX Leicester Square and the Odeon Leicester Square will be playing the film. Both cinemas just answered my question on Twitter.

On the same site it says:
"BBFC Consumer Advice:Rating & Running Time TBC."
So the 155 minutes is just a guess by Empire Cinemas. Nothing is confirmed.
It is. Let's hope it can justify it and not sag in the middle, like a lot of 150min+ movies.
That'll be my only concern. If they can make the movie stick at a great pace without dragging and making me check what time it is, I'll be very happy.
Is that the news we're supposed to get today, or for those who know, is it supposed to be something else?

Its the Ghost of Silva lol
I thought the recent Christopher Nolan movies, especially "The Dark Knight" was perfect. It went by so fast in cinema, while it was a whopping 152 mins.

His best movie in terms of pacing is 'Batman Begins', which uses its 140 mins excellently. Inception also works for me, but that's because there's a concept there. A plot. If SP has sufficient weight in that department then it should work, if its focus is more on thematics, ala SF, or a strictly personal head to head then it could run the risk of becoming a trudge. There's nothing really at stake in SF, other than the personal fates of the characters, which is why I find the second half less dynamic than the first, the first having at least some sense of direction with the exposing of agents and the sense of uncontrollable chaos emanating from MI6. There was a decent amount of balance between plot and character, but it slides into semantics after Silva's capture and could have been rounded off quicker than it was. Anyhow, I've faith that the plot of SP will have a decent amount of beef on the bone.
Judging by the fact that the film is still in the cutting room, this is pure speculation at the moment.
Yeah, I think it'll come down.
Personally, I really didn't mind the 2nd half of the pacing of SF. In all honesty. But that's my taste. I'm always open for a slower approach, like in the old days. But I do agree that the villain's scheme, was basically handled after the committee room shoot-out. After that it was indeed all about revenge outside the MI6-frame (not entirely, as this Silva did commit the worst terrorist attacks since the 2005 London terrorist attacks...so the basterd had to be caught..).
Hence why I find it strange they didn't make more of it. The juxtaposition of that against the personal and psychological tussle between the three key players would have worked really well and added a bit of tangibility to the threat.
It's more than a guess. They are given the approximate run time by Eon/Sony/MGM so they can plan their schedule ahead of the tickets going on sale next week.
Interestingly, it was Empire Cinemas, that had SF ahead if its release, in early September, as 2 hours 25 minutes. Which turned out to be more or less accurate.

Then a few days later it turned out that that had come directly from Sony Pictures.

The film will be fine cut now and they will be busy sound mixing and recording the score, so the length of the film (near as damn it, because they can still make tweaks) will be established.
