Though, I wish the menus were more similar to the Alien Anthology menus. It looks okay, but not as good as those. Any chance the blu-rays would have different menus?

I can't find this anywhere--gah! I'm assuming its the complete VOB files that leaked. Frustrating.

SHAW SMASH

PMs bring joy they say.

Delicious extended fan edit incoming

Delicious extended fan edit incoming

Not really. These are only a few deleted scenes, and not the really good ones. Those are only on the blu-ray.

I'm sure someone can rip the blu-ray contents and edit it the same way?  But if any of those scenes aren't really substantial, then  :'(

I can't wait to see the real juicy deleted scenes.

I really like the 'Strange Bedfellows' scene. It touches on a lot of things.

The extended Vickers/Weyland is MUCH better than what's in the film, even though the dialogue is still very on the nose. But it also reveals that in the original cut, Vickers knew about Squidbaby--she even refers to "that thing squealing next door"! The alternate Shaw/Holloway bedroom is also much better--Noomi really smacks the shit out of him! So satisfying.

The speech about "the sun creating man" is also here, delivered by Noomi--unfortunately the scene is ruined by Holloway making an ass of himself in usual fashion and deflating the scene completely.

On the whole, though, these aren't terribly impressive and much better than what's in the film now. Hopefully the additional scenes on the Blu-ray are better.

The deleted scenes I saw jumped a lot so I did miss a bit of footage.

So far, everything I've seen should have been left in the film.  More character development, more intrigue, more tension.

What's really annoying me is that my download of it (tried to get it about 12 hours ago) stopped at 75% as no-one was seeding so you guys pretty much beat me to it :P But thanks for the images ikarop!

could the reason that its running slow have anything to do with the amount of people downloading it at once?

I don't know how I missed this; I've been scouring the Internet for weeks...pm, please?

The french guy who originally uploaded it was the only seeder for a long time and he left several times (so basically there was no-one seeding as he was the only guy who has the entire thing). Apparently someone else will be uploading the full DVD as well...

Actually, has anyone actually managed to fully download the whole thing?

Another observation: the Shaw & Holloway bedroom scene here is a completely alternate scene, and it hints at Shaw's parents dying of ebola. No mention made of her infertility whatsoever. What this likely means is that her infertility is a result entirely of rescripting and reshoots--so instead of the "Ebola killed my daddy!" subplot of the original, Lindelof and Scott decided to sloppily do both that AND the "I can't make life!" thing. In the original cut, the shock wouldn't come from Shaw being infertile, but just for being three months pregnant. THEN David drops the ebola line, revealing what killed her parents after Shaw's foreshadowing about her parents dying in Africa of an infection from this alternate scene.

Basically, this script was just a mess of ideas that kept being revised even while shooting, and the theatrical cut reflects that to a sad degree.

That's great! That was one of my biggest problems with the film, that no one knew about the Trilobite. I hope that there's a sequence of Shaw letting the know about it...

Someone is claiming to be using the "second screen app" and posting screenshots on twitter:

Anybody know something?

Know about what? I know the second screen app thing is syncing the film up with your iPad or other similar device so that it updates with info/images as the film is going on...I guess that's where those pics are coming from?

Looking at the pics now. Pretty cool stuff. Especially the chair Jockey.

Milburn finding the skin is right after the scenes of him getting lost.. cant tell if it's before or after the scene of them finding the dead engineers.

"David's Objective" scene is pretty amusing--has Vickers suiting up to intercept Holloway and co., arguing with David all the while. "These idiots are about to infect my ship!"

Cool, thanks. So this is before they accidentally create the Hammerpedes with the worms, right? Interesting...

If they're really that truncated and not the whole batch, I think I'll wait for the Blu.  Sounds like a good time.

No no ono no the deleted skin scene is after they open the urns... and after the rest of the team gets back to prometheus.

the skin molt seems quite recent. :P

Strange Bedfellows should have never met the cutting room floor.

Perhaps I'm misremembering things (I only saw the movie once), but didn't Fifield and Millburn get attacked immediately after the Hemmerpedes were created? If so, how would they have time to find skin?

No. The Hammerpedes were created once the worms got into contact with the black goo... this was while Shaw and David were still in the BIG-GIANT-HEAD chamber :P After that there's the whole escape scene from the storm while Fifield and milburn get lost... then there's a few scenes in prometheus with the engineer's decapitated head and after that's it's all back to milburn and fifield trying to find a good place to spend the night (not in that way). There's a good portion of time between the worms getting exposed to the goo and the attack. Enough time for them to find the skins.

Ah, OK, thank you. For some reason, I'm remembering it in my head as happening a lot quicker than it really did.

Holloway is excruciatingly (more) annoying in the deleted material.

The alternate scene with Vickers/ Weyland was pretty damn decent.... was it cut due to running time? Fox meddling to get a bigger number of showings during the day with a 2 hour film? Seems likely. .It has essentially the same visuals as in the theatrical cut.. it just runs a bit longer and with some very different lines... no doubt a few beats within the scene were taken out and lines were re-recorded due to them wanting a smaller running time. hmm.  :/

This scene actually has a decent dramatic gravitas... the one in the theatrical cut... not really.

I think a similar thing happened with the Shaw/Holloway bedroom scene.

It's nearly 30 minutes of cut material... Ridley must have been mandated to trim the movie.. so he just hacked away at it :P

It's still salvageable... Ridley just needs to announce a director's cut, damnit! :laugh:

It's pretty much everywhere now so you shouldn't have trouble finding it. Try Google or some major video-sharing website as Bayo suggested.

I'm not seeing a director's cut being anounced anytime soon... maybe a few years from now... Fox has to sell the theatrical cut dvd's.. and announcing a director's cut so soon would send the message that they werent happy with the theatrical cut... bad for business.

I am gonna wait until Ridley releases Prometheus: The 10th Anniversary Definitive Ultimate Extended Unrated Final Cut.

Damn the Weyland/Vickers scene was so much better than what we got in the theatrical release :o I freaking love the scene and they f***ing cut it up........ Vickers knowing about the trilobite makes it even better.

Probably around the time the sequel comes out :P (at worst) ..so they can sell a few more dvd's.

BIG BUSINESS!

The Blu-ray will have all the deleted scenes as well the original draft of the shooting script.

Blueprints for a fan edit ;D

Should do the trick..

Now if only there was a way to edit the Milburn vs Hammerpede scene to make it less retarded...  >:(  ;D  :D

I challenge some one to recreate the original trailer with the sun monologue!

The 2 engineers at the falls, etc, etc.

Finally going to watch the scenes for myself, anyways :)

No. The DVD only has a few deleted scenes on it that come to under 10 minutes only.

WOW. The scene with Vickers and Weyland is 10 million times better. Definitely getting at a Blade Runner vibe.
And loving the nod with the Blade Runner light in the bedroom scene. Too bad Holloway is extra terrible. Don't really like the camera work though.

Quite a bit of the dialogue seems to come more to life in these extended non butchered scenes.

What's coming more and more apparent in these scenes though is that about 50% of the characters are miscast.
Weyland (I love Guy Pearce but the old man make up is silly), the scottish scientist lady is wooden and dull, Fifield actor plays it "generic pseudo-cool rebel" - stereotype, Holloway actor is baaaaaaaaad in those deleted scenes, Milburn is wooden and his accent is bad. The ships crew are under-written.

There DEFINITELY is a better movie there somewhere though. Definitely definitely.

10 and a half minutes, if its exactly what I just watched.

Anyways, I actually really liked the deleted scenes. Especially the Vickers/Weyland scene. Definitely better than the one in the film. Her saying "Father" still felt a bit forced, but the scene as a whole was just much better, and I loved that they mentioned the Trilobite. I really hope there's a scene somewhere where Shaw actually tells the remaining crew about her 'child'. Other smaller ones like the Christmas tree, the Hammerpede skin, and and maybe the sun story would also make great additions to the film, just to flesh it out a bit more. Oh, the one with Shaw watching the recording, too.

As for the alternate Shaw/Halloway sex scene, I think I prefer the theater one. They getting in bed after that exchange just felt...forced, maybe? And drunk Holloway really was an asshole in these clips...

Only Logan Marshall-Green and Rafe Spall are miscast, I'd say. The rest are just undercut by being stuck with poor material and indifferent direction.

I think that Holloway, Fifield and Milburn need to be toned down, more real and less animated.
The scottish lady needs to turn it up a few notches. She's like a bad two line actress from a hospital show.

So yeah, I caved.  The sun speech should've gone back in, because it helps drive home that it's a film about exploration a la Forbidden Planet moreso than a monster-on-a-ship movie.  I also think the Holloway/Shaw substitution was a mistake, after seeing this one.  There is a gorgeous, incredible shot in the theatrical sequence of the rose slipping through the holographic screen which is up there with any iconic image Ridley Scott has ever created, but the angry version of the scene is better and tells us more about both people, more bitter and coarse a la BR and Alien.  The angry sex also inserts that layer of disturbing, uncomfortable sexuality the films have always played in.  At the same time I know that if the scene had gone in there would be people calling Scott a misogynist online.

The Vickers/Weyland scene, I liked some of the sparse silences in the original version.  But there are some great lines here, especially "you used to have so much grace."

I have really no quibbles about the casting.  They all do what they're supposed to do.  Holloway is who he is.  "They're all dead.  So that means that we are all alone."  He wants to stand next to the gods because he wants very much to feel himself breathing in their rarefied air.  In the end he gets that, but not in the way he would have hoped.  I love Rafe Spall and just want more of him, but I want more of him in everything he's in.

Kate Dickie never got enough.  That's my only real complaint, character-wise.  I understand why the film was cut down to do more daily and make more money, and it did that.  And neither Alien nor Aliens ran much longer than 120 in theatrical release, so I understand the precedent and I think this is the third best in that series.  But I think that after years in the wilderness and one financially successful revival, the sequel can afford to go for a longer-running time for P2.  Or so I hope.

I've seen online butthurt with a side dash of "social justice" happen for a hell of a lot less than that scene.  Any handhold in an argument, for some people.  They'd call it sexist and misogynistic.  They'd be up their own ass, but that's never stopped the Internet.

Yeah, I actually feel bad for Weyland when he dies now. In the theatrical cut it felt so empty. It seems they cut out the soul of the movie in certain areas. A extended version should definitley be released.

Damn those feminazis!

That's really not what I'm saying.  It's a world of difference.  The point is there's going to be people who would cry out at any kind of edgy sequence like that one.  I would've put it in anyway, myself, but I doubt that's why it was cut.  I think they wanted a more conventional narrative for Shaw and Holloway.  I don't agree, but there we are.

...you call that edgy?

I'm confused... why exactly would people call Ridley Scott a misogynist for using the alternate Shaw/Holloway scene?

If you can point to the last time we've seen a sex scene like that one in a mainstream summer sci-fi blockbuster - which goes from a drunken, nasty argument with one party slapping the other one and the other guy forcing himself, then it turns consensual - then yes, I will call it that.  It's hardly Gaspar Noe or Lars von Trier, it's very tame by comparison, but it definitely has a lot more bite than most of the mainstream genre shit we see out there lately, in terms of human relations vs. bug-eyed monsters.  Most people are far more comfortable with the bug eyed monsters and vaginal horror.

The answer as to who would call him misogynistic is: "No one sane."  But as I said, that would never have stopped the Internet.

Most of these scenes would have not have made the film any better.

Vicker's mentioning the 'squealing thing next door' was a nice touch, but I can see how the rest of it's connecting dialogue stretched the scene out too long for what amounts to nothing in the end for either character.

Seeing the extra arm flail and whale moan of the engineer was also nice. But the entire scene around it is over the top acting by LMG and an outrageous intro to the sex scene.

Finding the shedded skin is just an homage/echo that does nothing but make you think of Brett trailing Jonesy on the Nostromo. And it ended up looking more like pantyhose.

The real meat and potatos of material should be in that additional 20 minutes on the blu.

When I say 'material' I, of course, mean 'deleted material.' Of course the meat and potatoes was the theatrical cut.

At this point I just want to see the alternate cargo bay attack and Shaw+Space Axe vs Harvey "Two Face" Engineer!

Haha, I gotcha :P I really want to see those as well. And the extended beginning with all the Engineers.

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.

The longer climax is what I'm waiting on.  That and the alleged scene with Vickers and Janek after she torches Holloway.

Ah yes, that one too. Completely forgot about that one, actually.

It's been talked about so much before - I thought I saw some scene listing which indicated it a while back, but I haven't looked at the listing of deleted scenes in a while.

I definitely prefer the theatrical cut for Holloway/Shaw scene although I now have a better understanding of his disappointments.

Take out the "Here, kitty kitty" part.

that menu is awesome.

I'm not sure why the scene by the Christmas tree with Ellie telling the story - she was told - about the creation of life that actually underlines her motives and beliefs bit further was left out...

---

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...

I liked the cut scenes, it showed why Holloway whas so unimpressed with the findings, they talked about the engineers being chased or being infected in an outbreak. The scene with weyland and Vickers was cool and interesting because they referenced the damn squid in the other room. Makes you wonder how many things were cut,and how the original cut was. Ridley butchered this movie and i don't understand why they don't put a director's cut in the home release. I understand they had their resons for the theatrical cut,but on the blu-ray they could have put the original without regard for a rating or running time to fill more seats. It's a darn shame

Thoughts:

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.

Near the skin there are marks in the dirt like the ones left by a snake. That is a hammerpede skin.
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

Can't be long until all the other Deleted / Alternative scenes have leaked online, right? I think I, like many others, am excited to see the Deleted Scene titled Paradise more than ANY of the ones that have already leaked! Oh, and the Alternative Opening also, can't forget that.

Okay I gave in and watched these deleted scenes... I'll save the rest for the Blu-ray, promise!

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 :)

I think the original (presumably) version of the Shaw/Holloway scene gives it both more bite and more dimension.  It plays off the disturbing sexual undercurrent of the original film - the consent issue when he first forces himself on her - but also expands on their motives after the first expedition, and leaves the viewer in, I think, a very realistic quandary when Holloway does die.  Charlie can be a real asshole but she loves him regardless, and he her, warts and all.  He sacrifices himself knowing he must die and I think his declaration of love at that moment is genuine.  From the sex scene to his death, it doesn't give you any easy way to feel about him.  He is an egotist and a pseudo-intellectual, and the alternate scene suggests he kept Shaw under his thumb.  But he loved her, and I think it leaves the general audience off kilter feeling two ways and I think that's appropriate.

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.

Cough cough, ahem

Can anybody tell me what is the proper DVD rip going around with proper sound and picture? I downloaded a 7gb .ISO yesterday and am looking for something smaller. Thanks

Okay I gave in and watched these deleted scenes... I'll save the rest for the Blu-ray, promise!

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.

They deleted scenes look complete to me.

What's Millburn doing licking the skin? Onya Millburn, get in there son! :laugh:

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.

So what Rip are people getting?

Not entirely on topic, but I posted a thread with deleted scenes less than an hour ago. Was it deleted, or moved?

Deleted. The scenes were already shared and discussed in this thread yesterday.

Ah.
It's hard finding out what's been discussed in this section of forum. It's overgrown.

Dailymotion- "video has been removed...."

Just need to use google. You shouldn't have trouble finding them now: http://www.itsartmag.com/features/prometheus-deleted-scenes/ (http://www.itsartmag.com/features/prometheus-deleted-scenes/)

I imagine we've only got a week or two before the rest of the deleted scenes leak in some form. Exciting.

Shaw vs Engineer

FITE!

Looking forward :P

related to this fox is offering downloads early
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2201145/Fox-offer-films-download-weeks-DVD-release.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2201145/Fox-offer-films-download-weeks-DVD-release.html)

The revelation of the deleted scenes, Holloway forcing sex on Shaw, makes me think that the original script of PROMETHEUS may be even darker than we'd like to admit. A near rape of a woman while being infected with alien DNA, isn't this another play on that interspecies intercourse only implied in ALIEN? I think PROMETHEUS would even be more compelling if Holloway in his ego-trip fanaticism actually agree to be infected with alien DNA and then impregnate his own female partner with it. His display of remorse and ultimate self-sacrifice later on would make more dramatic sense. I think that his asking Vickers "to do it" comes out of nowhere, and feel hollow.

When's the Blu Ray becoming "available for download"?

How comes it's not available for pre-ordering on iTunes in the UK? ???

hmmm i think the skin scene is pretty good, it gives a build up how obsessed is Millburn with nature...it would be a cool scene and would explain the lets touch the hammerpade game...but they should do it with another creature, a bug for example or with other stuff that not relates to the hammerpade

Apparently not obsessed enough to take a look at a dead Engineer.

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird as well. One would think he would jump on a chance like that.

Dead humanoid alien = OMG NO!

Hissing, clearly threatening snake-like monstrosity = OMG how cute!!! <3

The movie is better without the deleted scenes.

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.

There's a fanedit already?

In some circles.

Hmm. Wouldn't see the point in downloading a fan edit just yet but once all the deleted scenes are out there I really hope that a fan edited extended cut will happen.

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.

I live in China and i just come from one of that big and amazing FAKE DVD shops they have and saw the prometheus DVD. Comming up so early I thought it would be an screener or just the movie. But it actually comes with all the extras and everything. So its the ripp off of the official DVD :P

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).

I'd have to see all the deleted scenes to determine what I'd add back in.  And they won't be available til the Blu-Ray.

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.

Hmmm...I know someone on PrometheusForum was working on their own cut, but now there's one going around...interesting.

Anyway, I should be starting work on the Weyland Investors Cut (yes, I do run http://weylandinvestors.com (http://weylandinvestors.com) and @weylandinvestor) as soon as Tuesday, hence the iTunes version of the film has all the deleted scenes as well.

Awesome ^^ when you're done, how do one get your extended version ?? you put it available for download ? :)

Links will probably go around via PMs, also I'll get info up/submit it to fanedit.org (already done a workprint edit there of Avengers but since it's just a workprint due to unfinished VFX it's not up on the main site). Basically, per fanedit.org, the official rule is you must legally own one of the home media versions (DVD/BD/digital download) to watch it legally without it being considered pirating.

Spoiler

I might work with a couple of people on doing a livestream of it somewhere etc ;)

Will own that movie from day 1 ;D But i would love to see your extended fan edit ;)

Okay, then: The movie is better without these deleted scenes.

I love fan edits, I made one for Scream 4 a while ago, that movie was cut to pieces and made too comical by it's producers . It was so much better with everything put back in so I hope the other deleted scenes of Prometheus are good enough to make a fan edit myself...
