I was thinkin the exact same thing :laugh:
Where do you think Danny Trejo came from? He's got alien dna!!!!!
I'm curious how much of the budget was frittered away with all of these alternate/deleted scenes.
Glad they did away with this opening. These guys belong in Attack of the Clones not the alien universe.

All the elder engineers shoulda been kept in the movie, it woulda had more impact on the scene contextwise.
I don't like the idea of them "just getting old", getting more biomechanical - even mutated would be much better. What if our old space jockey just "grown" into his suit.
At a glance, I'm really glad that shit is not still in the movie. It looks ludicrous, at least in stills.
It is a mamuthones! ( Sardinian pre-Christianic mask) ;D

Made pepsi come out of my nose at that xD
Looks like a really bad halloween mask. Glad they cut it out. But i would like to have some extra engineer scenes into the movie. Let them look a bit more intelligent. Put back the Davind/Engineer talk scene.
All a bit Star Trek. A scene better off deleted. I like that Engineers look like giant marble statues.
I love how that guy's face look like a fig in the picture :D
This blows.
Better that the Engineers seem powerful and immortal.
Putting Spocks dad in the movie would have taken the edge of the SJ.

Cutting out these scenes was a good choice imo. Mr. Marble held his own just fine. :)

Nice to have support :D
I like how he looks. I`d prefere to put it back. It would have more ritual feel to it.
You guys have not even seen this particular scene, he looks better than the clean one in the original, it looks so plastic-y

Oh snap, I totally missed your comment about it. However that was the first thing that came to my mind as well. :laugh:
And it's the truth.
Of course I would like to see the actual scene first. If it was indeed filmed. :)
They filmed it. with dialogue. and they didn't liked after that how the engineers speak. it robbed them of their mistery. so they cut the scene. if it was a quiet, it's possible the scene would have made the cut
To me it doesn't even seem to make sense to have faces torn by age. I recall little to no wrinkles on the last Engineer's face, so what was he a child or a fan of Olay skin care? He looked oddly smooth and without any wear of age, which gave him a godlike appearance. This also implies that old age effects them just the same as us which, again, just makes them seem less special. Somehow that just crossed my mind now and not when we saw the first elder Engineer.
I'd rather this stay out. It makes the Engineers somewhat less godlike
yeah. this is definitely one scene that i didnt mind seeing cut. :P
I agree. The cut gap didn't seem strange either. Didn't even occur to me that there might be something missing.
Eager to see it nonetheless.
I'd like to see what exactly they do in the scene. still kind of mind jarring. I remember seeing the storyboards that actually differ slightly. There were human Aboriginal peoples instead of elders unless thats what they were and they handed that goo to the one engineer to drink.

He certainly looks odd...
I like way better the other elder.
Seriously, everything that was taken out of this film should be put back in because Prometheus needs all of the help it can get. I know that the art of making a well-paced film has much to do with editing but there just seems to be too much here that was taken out that would make the film better. Again, what was Ridley thinking?!?
Alien3 was improved greatly when nearly everything that was deleted from the Work Print was subesquently re-insterted for the Special Edition. Sure, the film still wasn't a masterpiece but it was better. And sure, Fincher still hates it but that has more to do with the process of the whole thing that has left a bad taste in his mouth. Ridley can re-insert everything and blame the theatrical version on FOX wanting a shorter film so they could rotate it more in theaters and make more money. That is something most of the fans would believe even though it might not be necessarily true this time.
Just like Blade Runner, this is exactly what I would tell fans if I was Ridley and wanted to release a Director's Cut within five years from now.
Those are still Engineers. Wouldn't make any sense vice-versa, especially considering the planet isn't even necessarily Earth.

It certainly doesn't need this scene. Good choice to drop it, I'm even dreading its appearance as an extra. Prometheus doesn't need much to elevate it, it just needs to feel less like a short-hand version of itself from the two thirds through mark.
