P2 Work in Progress

Given all the talk and reviews about Prometheus, and the depth of discussion about any future direction with regards the script, I think it is safe to say that there are going to be scenes with David and Shaw in the Juggernaut. One of the things Ridley is known for, is creating big film sets. He has also in the past used footage from films taken by other film makers. Take Blade Runner. Some of the ending scenes was taken by Stanley Kubrick. This is the act of a film maker who will optimise his budget and put the costs into filming what is going to have impact. If you look closely at Blade Runner there are the odd bits of tech that have been re- used from Alien, such as graphics on VDU’s. So Ridley will re use footage and ideas if it makes the end product look good. After Prometheus came out, it soon followed that the Blu ray had extra footage seemingly, we are told for editing reasons. I am beginning to wonder if this was a marketing strategy. People had questions about the film which these little snippets of footage seem to answer. Soon after, the great debate follows about all the work that went into Prometheus and the re scripting. What strikes me as odd is that imo there is way too much wasted footage, time and effort, which all comes at a cost for it not to be seen in the end product. So, back to the Juggernaut. P2 require scenes, and in turn would require a set. I don’t thing it would be cheap. Having to rebuild a set that was in Prometheus would surely take quite a bit out of the overall budget. Which brings me to the point of asking. Were any P2 scenes shot on the ready built Prometheus set ? This would save a lot of time and money. I’m not suggesting that most of P2 has already been shot, but it would make sense if some scenes have, since P2 was already part of the big plan.
