Ridley Scott continues to state that the theatrical cut of Prometheus is, for all intents and purposes, his director’s cut. Regardless, he’s still ruminating over the idea of integrating deleted footage into the Blu-ray and DVD edition of the film. Just how much content would this director’s cut add? AICN says about 20 minutes. AICN has an image of what looks to be a crucial deleted scene and some behind the scenes photos of the prosthetic make-up process.
BREAKING NEWS: Good news for those of you who enjoyed Prometheus (like our very own HKFanatic) despite the film’s middling reviews and so-so box office return. AICN relays word from The Hollywood Reporter that Fox is moving forward with a sequel. The follow-up may be titled Paradise and stars Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are already signed on to return.
Definitely one of the best looking teaser/trailers of the year, IMO. Probably the one movie I can think of that I’m anxious to see in 3D. It looks to have the large scope and high-quality special effects of “Avatar”…but the story should be way more interesting. Only thing that is gonna suck is you know the studio is gonna push for them to release it in theaters as PG-13 and save the Unrated cut for the blu-ray.
Damn movie isn’t coming out soon enough.
Cool news, I would love it if this movie ends up being rated “R.”
This movie looks like a remake of Alien so it better be rated R!
When Prometheus was initially greenlit, it was seen as two separate movies to be chronologically before the first Alien movie, written by Jon Spaihts, being directed by Carl Erik Rinsc, and Scott staying only as producer. However, Fox wanted Scott in the director’s chair so bad that he eventually accepted under the condition that the script was heavily retooled to reflect the concepts that he wanted to explore. Damon Lindelof was the pen to make it happen, and the result has been described in certain moments as a both a prequel and an original story. For instance, in an interview, Michael Fassbender confirmed that this is actually an Alien movie, taking place in the Alien universe. In July 2011, however, Scott stated in another interview that “by the end of the third act you start to realize there’s a DNA of the very first Alien, but none of the subsequent [films]“.
In short, the story takes place within the same universe albeit not directly connected to the events of the original. There has been some misdirection on part of the film makers to help heighten interest in the film by showing glimpses and links in common with Alien, including imagery inspired by, if not designed and built by, H.R. Giger (Source). The third trailer for Prometheus shows footage of alien spacecraft shaped like the Derelict Ship and the premise to explain the “Space Jockey” inside such ship, confirming that the film does, indeed, take place in the same fictional universe as the previous Alien films, but will focus far more on the Space Jockey race (called “gods and engineers” by Ridley Scott since the early interviews) other than on the so-called “alien creature” or “xenomorph”.
