I'm such a baby, watch me cry

He still said "maybe" which means, under pressure, he'll release that extended cut. If anything, I'd be happy to scroll through a bunch of restored deleted scenes as long as they are there. He's notorious for changing his mind, and from what I've seen "confirmed" on the blue ray, there's a ton of cool stuff even if he's not adding anything back to the original cut.

@Freeplanet yep were all following a mad man on a trail even he doesn't know :P - I hope its not old age thats effecting things :S ...

"No piece of art needs notes, no good film needs a dvd/bluray explanation!" That said I love and hate the theatrical release, but I was looking forward to some more depth (any depth he cries).

As i said i expect the DVD may have some more gore etc.... But the alternative and extended scenes he cut i dont think will make it... 1) some scenes contained too much Alien DNA, which he wanted to limit to Shaws Baby and how it infected the Engineer with a Embryo that Chest Busted from him. 2) some scenes showed too much of the Engineer Race and their purpose and reasons for actions, which Ridley wants to keep as mystery until Prometheus 2.

I think there's no doubt that the Directors Cut will be released in a few years time, which will cost us another 30 quid or 15/20 dollars and then the Boxset, super dooper delux Alien anthology including Prometheus and the Sequels will cost us another *50 £ or 25/30 dollars. I assume that Fox are very clever and they now how to fleece us of our life savings....As for Ridley, he's a business man also!

Look, it's as simple as this, "I want my RESTORATION CUT," that's the original cut that Scott submitted to Fox, the 2 hours 27 one. I want my RESTORATION CUT I want my RESTORATION CUT I want my RESTORATION CUT like a big crying baby, as if that'd stop me crying... LOL

Wow! There's like a thousand threads about this. First off, Scott has stated many times that what we've seen IS the DC so we can't call it that. I'm very, very, very familiar with Scott's work and not one time have I seen anything that HE HIMSELF decided to cut that I felt would make his film better. There have been many instances of him being forced to change things by a studio or of him changing things because test screenings did not do well that I feel have hurt films but, I'll say again, not ONCE have I ever seen anything that he changed on his own that hindered one of his films instead of helping. So, unless all the statments from Fox and Scott about this being his version and not one thing was cut from the version which HE wanted shown are bullshit I'm going to have to stick with Ridley and believe that the version we've been presented is the best version of Prometheus. Now, I would certainly watch an extended cut of the film. I would more than likely enjoy one. I just think that most people's expectations of the impact it would have are far warped and are the type of expectations that will leave a sour taste in the mouth upon being unsatisfied. I want to post further but have to go. Below are some thoughts I posted in another thread which I have altered and added to... [i]IMO it's too soon for any kind of DC. A DC would totally muck everything up in regards to a sequel. There are countless threads and discussions on what is "canon." Is AvP canon? What about Aliens? How about Alien 3? and so on. Imagine how confused people could or would get if there were 2 versions of Prometheus before the sequel(s) comes out? It could be a disaster depending on if Scott wants to change anything he originally intended. And with all the bitch fests about Lindeloff and the writing I have a feeling at least a few things might change. Regaqrdless of whether Scott ever does a DC I'm sure Fox, somewhere on down the line, will cut a Special Edition, much like they did with Alien 3. As you probably know, Fincher had no involvement whatsoever. Personally, I'm happy with the film. Adding some extra Engineers and a fight scene between Shaw and the final Engineer would not make the film better imo. Changing Fifield's transformation will not make it a "better" film for me either. The only way I would think a DC would be necissary would be if it was a case like Kingdom of Heaven where the story actually changes. People seem to think that re-inserting things to make the film longer will make it "breath" better and change the pacing but unless there's substance in what you add it wont make a bit of difference. IMO, of course. While I don't have a problem with the pacing of the film I do understand that some do. If there is in fact 20 minutes worth of EXPOSITION then I might say a DC is needed. However, extra dialouge and lengthier scenes does not equal exposition. And most importantly, if said exposition was taken out due to it revealing too much of the sequel then it definitely does not need to be done. If that's the case, which I think was in terms of the extra Engineers in the opening, then I would much rather see an extended version released after Ridley has told his complete story. Point is no matter what it's waaaay too early to release a DC or even think about releasing one. IMO, of course.[/i]
