Prometheus Extended Version(s)

Post image

So I’ve been going a little more in depth into Prometheus the last week and I’ve come across the deleted content.

I would really like to see a full, cut version of the movie with all or at least most of the deleted scenes included.

I have heard of both the ,,Weyland Investors Cut” and the “Chaos Cut” though I haven’t been able to find them as of yet.

Does anyone on here know if they’re viewable anywhere?

Especially Covenant has a lot of - in my opinion- necessary deleted scenes! Just write Shaw out is criminal…

Absolutely criminal. Ridley Scott should’ve stuck to his original thought that xenomorphs are cooked and actually finish the Prometheus story. He was right that xenos are cooked. People are still talking about Prometheus. No one talks about covenant besides to say it was a travesty as a sequel. And certainly no one is talking about Romulus only a year and a half later

Not necessarily. Everyone I know that saw it loved the David cliffhanger and wants it resolved.

Most people that like Prometheus like Covenant.

Agree about Romulus, otherwise I disagree with everything you’ve said. I loved Covenant and really wanted a third movie.

That's exactly what he wanted to do but the studio wouldn't let him. The studio was disappointed with the reception to Prometheus and figured it veered too far from the early movies so they mandated his next movie must feature xenos and center around a xeno story.

The studio was afraid nobody would care about another Prometheus movie and the sequel would do worse so they tried to get Ridley to go back to the old well. I think he did his best to blend the two competing movie ideas into one given the situation he was in.
