The designers on Prometheus seem quite proud and satisfied with the Deacon by contrast

There was the Deacon, which eventually turned into "that blue thing that comes out of the Engineer" at the end of the film — but Huante's version was very different.

"Ridley Scott really wanted to "keep it real" and avoid anything that looked too overtly monstrous"

I've heard this over and over in private conversations. The designers did their job and created all sort of monstrous creatures. It's not their fault if the director decides not to use them and go a different route.

This seems to only be available in the US and not in Canada.  That sucks for me!

Update: We talked to Fox and confirmed that the DHD initiative is not limited to only Ultraviolet. According to the studio when this kicks off September 18th, it will make more than 600 films available across stores including Amazon, CinemaNow, iTunes, PlayStation, VUDU and Xbox. Prometheus is also Fox's first UV title and its first new release under the DHD program, but if you prefer your digital movies in another format, it looks like you'll be able to get them.

Vudu is listing the length at 124 minutes: http://www.vudu.com/movies/#more_info/351221/Prometheus

Considering the fact that the chestburster scene in Alien is regarded as one of the scariest scenes in cinema history, and the Deacon scene is treated as a punchline in reviews and comments, I'd say the chestburster is a damn sight scarier than the Deacon.

A scene done well with a non-scary creature is still scary. Alone, the chestburster isn't scary. In the context of that iconic scene, it's extremely frightening (metal bar holding it up and all). The Deacon scene seemed quite forced, though not too too bad, and the creature design wasn't bad. It just suffered as a result of the nature of the scene. And side by side, I'd say by itself the Deacon is certainly more menacing.

is the 2 hrs & 39 minutes cut a confirmed or just speculation? i thought Scott said no extended cut for prometheus or he wanted to surprise the fans?

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.

[Vickers]

It was too good to be true.

[departedhero20]

It was too good to be true.

:-\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.
