Deleted & Alternate Scenes:
Okay, then: The movie is better without these deleted scenes.
Spoiler
I might work with a couple of people on doing a livestream of it somewhere etc
Awesome ^^ when you're done, how do one get your extended version ?? you put it available for download ?
Spoiler
I saw your question on the site

Anyway, I should be starting work on the Weyland Investors Cut (yes, I do run http://weylandinvestors.com and @weylandinvestor) as soon as Tuesday, hence the iTunes version of the film has all the deleted scenes as well.
I know I'd put back the crew meeting after the first expedition, and probably the alternate version of the Shaw/Holloway scene. And I guess the longer Vickers/Weyland scene. But a lot of stuff from the first dump online was also extraneous and not really needed.
I might check out the Weyland Investors cut for giggles. But I was pretty happy with the film as is.
Gonna watch it now. Doubt that there is anything there that make me change my opinion of the movie tho ( I think its a really bad movie).
Well it's something that gives us a small taste of what's to come. And it's already showing promising signs of a better version.
There's a fanedit already?
Well, I don't think anyone can say that without having seen all of the deleted scenes. We haven't even seen half of them.
I watched the film again with the deleted scenes released so far edited back into the film. And while it won't convert any non-fans, it was a small improvement.
Hissing, clearly threatening snake-like monstrosity = OMG how cute!!! <3
Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird as well. One would think he would jump on a chance like that.

FITE!
Looking forward
It's hard finding out what's been discussed in this section of forum. It's overgrown.
Deleted. The scenes were already shared and discussed in this thread yesterday.

The only real thing I liked with the alternate Shaw/Holloway scene was the Blade Runner lighting going on. Very cool. But I agree with others; Holloway comes across way too assholery here, so I still prefer the theatrical version.
The Weyland/Vickers scene. I cannot believe they cut that so badly. Honestly, this is testament that art takes a backseat to business. Really unfortunate this was not in the theatrical.
They deleted scenes look complete to me.

I think the Vickers/Weyland scene as it was in the theatrical was decent. It was sparse, but in the right way. As a writer I think there's plenty of times too much dialogue kills something. I liked the alternate, I would've kept most of it. But there's a few spots there where I understand why they trimmed it. The bit where she kisses his hand, he curls it into a fist says it all about their relationship, I think. Take Alien - a lot of implicit depths of character is intuited by the audience from mere suggestion and a bare minimum of dialogue that is not simply plot functionality. People have been debating whether Ripley and Dallas were f**king or how twisted Ash really was for decades. Prometheus is not that film, but I'd have sooner found a happy medium between the two takes of the father-daughter scene.
2 things...
1) Noomi gives good slap.
2) The scenes contain only production audio (a bit of ADR in the Strange Bedfellows scene), temp score, a bit of cgi and are not colour-graded. So basically they are unfinished but still pretty good none-the-less (good enough for fan edit!). Based on the iTunes menu pictures giving a 2hr 39min runtime, I'm pretty sure now these deleted scenes WON'T be integrated into the main cut, as they aren't full finished quality. Shame, but at least we're getting quite a bit of new material
And i don't think it is a good idea to cut short the Holloway part. By having this also, he doesn't seem so out of place when they are examining the helmet. In that scene he was just sitting on that table and drinking and all of us were wondering why the hell he isn't impressed,just sites there unaffected. But in the deleted scene we get his reason,he is dissapointed in the finding and doesn't find pleasure in just another autopsy. The same in the bedroom scene. The only thing out of place in the bedroom scene was the last part when they started to hump eachother.Seemed forced.
I would kill for a 2 hour and half cut of this movie.
When did they find the squid in the room? Did they all have a talk about Shaws ''abortion''. It seems there was a lot of stuff in there
Christmas tree scene was fine, just a small extension and more amusing Janek/Vickers material. Should've been kept in.
Fifield and Milburn finding the skin; aside from the fact that it's implied to be that of a Deacon breed, it's ultimately worthless. Felt like something that was never even in the shooting script but Ridley just decided to throw in to say "You know, there ARE other creature IN this movie". Lose it.
Shaw's speech was nice and fitting, but it should be cut right after the clash of the champagne(?) glasses, as the audio dip implies it was meant to be. The cut was placed there because Holloway comes it with rude drunkeness, which leads onto the next scene. This scene should be cut at the aforementioned moment.
The alternate version of Shaw and Holloway in their quarters was a good choice to swap out because it straight up made Holloway a drunken insensitive bastard. The scene in the theatrical release is much better as it keeps his intentions of a sweeter nature, having both of them make their cases on sober ground, and the sexual result is the same; and less forced feeling to boot. If the other version had been used, the intended impact when Holloway is killed would have been lessened. Lose it.
Vickers and David's comm chatter as she prepares to prevent the infection; a quick, badass scene for Vickers and more fun down talk from her to David. It felt like a spiteful queen ordering around her hyper competent subject, making it very cool. Makes me even wish, if it was in the movie, that David would have something to do with the death of Vickers in some indirect way... assuming she had to die. Definitely keep it.
Vickers talking to Weyland in an extended cut was mind-bogglingly better than what's in the theatrical cut. The scene had an actual emotional pull with it's newly added layer of dramatic tension between the two. Guy Pearce's performance is great and subtle, a portrait of denial, and Charlize Theron adds a lot of intensity to it when she begins to grill him on his choice, whereas in the theatrical cut she comes across as something of a pushover, and Weyland seems just seems like an utter bastard for the "Anything else" line. In the context of this alternate cut, she goes off on him, and he pushes her away, and in the theatrical cut it just comes across as cold. There is also a lack of dramatic music cue when she says "father" which makes it more bearable. Another thing is that the scene continues with Weyland sitting on the bed after Vickers exits... making the moment much more dramatically effective. One last thing that confuses me to no end is the fact that when Vickers puts her head down to Weyland's lap, the shot was originally cut on time with her movement, instead of awkwardly lingering on Weyland... unintentionally (I hope) imply oral sex. All in all, this scene kept extended is a must.
BTW, I see there are also scenes cut which feature more character development for Charlie...Actually something that was a bit lacking in the theatrical cut, especially since they were supposed to be a couple...
I can see why they cut the scene with sex, though, since there's another one and if there were two, it'd nullify the punchline...
Take out the "Here, kitty kitty" part.
Ah yes, that one too. Completely forgot about that one, actually.
Oh, and if footage exists, something (anything!) showing that Shaw told the remaining crew about the Trilobite. Vickers' comment in the deleted scene makes me thing that something might exist.
