What's up with all these Oprah gifs?
Looks like the Vudu purchase includes the alternate scenes too (at least two of them).
He does. He compares himself to the Engineer and tells him that they are both creators.
So there's not much dialogue between the Engineer and David? And does Weyland answer the Engineer's question?
No.
Is Skin different to the Skin scene already released?
The Engineer speaks scene is different than the one in the preview. The first thing the Engineer says according to david is "He wants to know why you are here".
That's a broadcast, not something available for sale.
I remember seeing that same broadcast.
I have a clear memory of the sentry guns being in the CBS network tv debut of aliens and me losing my shit as a child as it was a new scene not on the VHS.
This must have been like 1987.
Those new scenes in Aliens first debuted on the Special Edition laserdisc - they were never available on their own first.
And yes, they can sell an extended cut of Prometheus. A lot more consumers will just go out and buy the legit extension if it's released as opposed to living on the Internet for a fan edit. I wish they'd just bundle the theatrical and an extended now.
Actually, Fox have never once sold us a new 'Special Edition' of a film in a given format using deleted footage that we already have in that format. The Director's Cut of Alien had some alternate takes of the deleted scenes we'd already seen, along with all-new footage. The closest you could say would be having the Special Edition of Aliens rereleased in the Quadrilogy box, but that hardly counts because within that box we also got Alien: DC, Alien3: AC, and AR: SE.
If Fox does want to sell us an extended cut down the line, it'll have all-new footage cut into it - they can't simply sell us the fan edit that we all know will be online within a week of 10.11.12.
Usually in the facilities, since disk space is always an issue, things get archived soon after the project is completed. So while it is perfectly possible to go back to the archives and finish shots that were dropped early on, it happens rarely.
So, if we do see an extended cut, it would most likely only envolve less vfx heavy, dialogue scenes...
I was watching a few clips there on youtube.
Shaw is a f**king moron and annoying to boot.
Not sure I can sit through it again.
And I don't really want to see it again with bad sound.
The sound is bloody awful though.. they used the sound of a cam rip.
leaked version? is there a dvd/blu ray rip up somewhere?
More profitable to announce it after everyone buys a copy?
Exactly.
And let's not forget that movie studios often collaborate with directors to cut films down to fit in as many showings as possible per day.
And Ridley has stated before that first and foremost he is a "business man." His is focused on pleasing the studios first and then himself and then the fans.
So, I don't think Ridley is above purposely leaving a better film on the cutting room floor. How many times have you seen Ridley films get extended cuts? Blade Runner and Kingdom of Heaven were both better in their newer cuts.
In Ridley's opinion, what we got was then better movie
I mean the shits on the disc, I'm sure in this day and age of video editing tools, he could have shoved the scenes back in and printed it by the time he'd smoked his cuban.
That's assuming it's even worthwhile watching though. Probably not.
"...somewhere along the line..."
I don't like those words. Even if it's a year of waiting, it's still too long.
:-\yeah i agree with you i just hope somewher along the line a directors cut or extended cut whatever u wanna call it comes out if not that will be a first for Ridleys blurays lol since pretty much every movie he has made has an extended cut lol.
ive just heard around other forums that there wont be an extended cut that those screens are just the theatrical cut including the extras since its an itunes download if true we got our hope's up for no reason with those screens.
