October 01, 2012There are plenty of parts of the movie and deleted scenes that conflict with parts of the movie, if you watch the end of the Janek fills Vickers in scene this part seems like it would lead to the above scene.
Maybe this is all been done on purpose because this movie can be re cut and edited in so many ways to give so many different versions of the movie.
Your correct the Deleted Scenes are not the complete Deleted Scenes, there are more that are not released including the above Weyland in the Hanger.
Another is the Sacrificial one as the Sacrificial Engineer had dialog with the Elder and in the deleted scene we do not see that.
Also note that as he walks to the Water Fall in the deleted scene he is followed by the Elders... in the Theatrical he is not and that means the actual walking to the cliff edge of the Water Fall was shot twice, one alone and one followed by Elders.
