There’s new interview on Heyuguys.co.uk with Prometheus producer Michael Constigan who was on the red carpet for last night’s London premiere. He talks about potential sequels to Prometheus and about the recent viral videos. The most interesting thing he talks about is the Prometheus Blu-Ray set. It sounds like there won’t be any kind of radical director’s cut. He says there is some additional material but the cut in the cinema is what Ridley Scott intended.
Obviously Ridley’s known for doing director’s cuts of his films, quite epic long ones. This comes in at two hours, so how much is on the cutting room floor, and how much will we get on the Blu-Ray?
The nature of those director’s cuts has changed with Blu-Ray. There’s certainly some additional material that can be added, I think enhance a few things. It’ll be to show more, it won’t be because he feels dissatisfied with this cut, this is the cut he stands by and loves, there’s no major secret looming that hasn’t been included – at least not that comes to the top of my head. There’ll be some goodies. I think also in this one, a lot of the things we’ve explored in the viral pieces, have also given him – I think that’s what’s been so satisfying for him. What’s so satisfying about the process is that some of the things a director looks to do, those viral films allow you to kind of explore some different ideas.
Thanks to seeasea for the news.
It's practically required to give added-value to DVD/BR these days.
Love the one you're with."
What a player that Janek!
it would definitly help me accept for exemple :
Spoiler
Shaw and Janek bonding not over just one moment.
Maybe some Janek military background explaining his view of the base.
The fact that in the trailer the chain of events are differents, with that shot of Weyland getting out at the same moment, the mercs are dealing with Fifield.
It won't completly save the movie but ease my viewing ^^
Ahh. I see it, man.
I agree, but I watch movies to have fun, and the viral things are fun, sooo.
"You don't get credit for something you didn't put in the movie because... *pause* you didn't put it in the movie!"
Which is how I feel about the viral stuff. I'm glad Scott had fun, but those things will not be on my mind at all when I go to watch the movie. Those are extra bits of entertainment for those who wish to partake, the movie needs to stand on it's own and be just as rich and telling without them.
I'll be very interested to see what the differences are between Prometheus The Theatrical Cut, and Prometheus The Extended Cut.
Uhhh. Did you quote that for truth, or...?
What i was expecting.
No major new plot but hopefully more character developpments.
Wich will help a lot the movie.
