Interesting that there's only 15 min of deleted scenes, and no mention of a longer cut. I'd assume a double dip is inevitable.

This will be the first time I'll actually read a text bonus feature with the original script.

I'll only buy it if there's a different cut. The theatrical was a huge letdown. But Ridley Scott is know for revisiting his movies and often making them better. That's a lot of great extras though. Hopefully they make it onto the inevitable double dip. Fingers crossed.

The Kingdom of Heaven DC came out a little more than a year after the theatrical cut came to DVD. Hopefully the timeline would be the same here. I haven't seen Prometheus yet but at this point if the DC will be the same level of improvement as it was with KoH, I'm happy to wait for it.

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12

Has there been anything anywhere saying that the theatrical version wasn't scott's prefered director's cut?

Nothing explicit, no. But if you read Ridley's comments on the cut he assembled for theaters, he heavily implies that it was judiciously trimmed to get the core of the film's ideas across.

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12

Ridley's quote was "This is fundamentally the director’s cut. But there will be half an hour of stuff on the menu because people are so into films—how they’re made, how they’re set up, and the rejections in it. That’s why it’s fascinating. So this will all go on to the menu."

Which people interpreted as an extended edition.

You have a point. However, 15 minutes (of deleted/alternate scenes) does not equal to half an hour. So it's still possible that an extended cut may be released at a later time.

Ridley Scott referenced an extended cut himself an interview. There was no other way to spin his words.

^Yeah here is the interview. http://collider.com/ridley-scott-pro...erview/172202/

Maybe it will just be an easter egg?

Re: Prometheus - 10/?/12

A director's/extended cut as an easter egg? Aside from the third cut of Terminator 2 (and that only featured an extra scene and an alternate ending) on BD/DVD, has that ever been done?
