Looking forward to this alternate experience.
Theatrical = 1h 58m
Curious, how long do you think this will be?
1 hr 45 min up to the credits on black. I only ripped the credits up to where it says “Stage technicians” (I usually rip 60% of the credits as I don’t need to see them all)
Did a compare and looks like maybe 1.5 minutes less of credits at quick glance…so it would be 13.5 minutes shorter or 12 minutes of actual movie shorter minus credits.
Surprised myself after looking to be honest, but I can honestly say you would never know it unless you were trying to remember the ceremony parts and tried to figure out what is not there. It is very hard to tell anything was taken out of the village IMO as it still is a lull in the film, but I would say 2.5 min removed of repeated narrative there. Now moves along better and lets the hero’s prepare for the next leg of the journey.
