Unfortunately, in one interview, Ridley Scott stated that he's adamantly against releasing an alternate or extended cut of Prometheus. Therefore, to experience the complete version of the movie, we must turn to the Blu-ray edition at extra materials.
We’ll cover every single removed sequence in chronological order many of which are not even included in the Blu Ray edition and can only be found in extra materials.
Some of them are a few minutes long, such as the deleted engineer dialogue and the extended engineer fighting scene with Dr. Shaw. However, others are just short clips lasting a few seconds. Despite the abundance of material, I will do my best to condense all of it into this 14-minute video.
The first deleted scene, often referred to as the alternate opening, depicts the arrival of engineers on Earth. In the movie, we simply see the lone engineer standing in front of the waterfall. However, in this deleted scene, a group of engineers accompanies the sacrifice engineer to the edge. The elder gives him a cup containing the Blood of the first deacon, a god-like creature the engineers worshipped. As we’ll see later in the video, Engineer’s blood is actually black, which explains why the pathogen or the black goo is of the same colour, because Engineers were trying to recreate the blood of the first deacon.
Thousands years later when Hollowway and dr. Shaw discover carvings in an ancient cave Before they enter the cave, there is a short deleted clip of dr shaw smiling, to which Holloway responds, "You're smiling."
When the Prometheus ship on the way to LV 223, an alternative scene depicts David crying while watching 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Unlike the theatrical version where he just watches the movie, the deleted sequence reveals a more emotional David, showing him shedding tears.
While checking in on the Prometheus crew members, David also visits Wayland in cryo sleep which was removed fom the movie. David enters Wayland's dream, where the billionaire is relaxing on a yacht in the middle of the ocean, appearing as a younger version of himself. David informs Wayland that they are nearly arrived, which angers Wayland because David disturbed him before completing his objective. Early concepts portraying Wayland's yacht can be found on Blu-ray, but the production rejected this scene even before filming.
Next, there's a deleted scene between Melburn and Fifield. After awakening, everyone meets other crew members, and Melburn mentions that his fingers are still numb from cryo-sleep. Fifield responds that nobody has ever been in cryo-sleep for so long before as they have.
Then just before the crew meets Weyland's holographic projection, there's a deleted scene with Yanek decorating the Christmas tree. Vickers tells him to join the rest of the crew for the presentation, but Yanek insists that his only job is to operate the ship, so he doesn't need to know anything about the mission. Christmas is another reference to Jesus Christ in this movie that was removed and there is another deleted segment of Janek signing ho ho ho that only appears is some trailers.
Right before the briefing there is a short deleted clip of Shaw saying, "They're going to think we're crazy." and hollows responds “Yeah. They’re not if you keep it scientific”. When Holloway shows the same star formation depicted in many locations on earth there's another deleted clip of Fiefield saying it's a map to which show response it's an invitation.
After the briefing, there is a deleted segment of Shaw being upset at Holloway for not backing her up during the presentation, when Fiefield and other crew members were skeptical of Shaw's research.
The next deleted scene occurs in the pyramid and showcases Melburn making an unsettleing discovery of a small worm in the black liquid, which is followed by David calling it "our first alien." This short scene was removed, but it kind of justifies Melburn’s unwavering curiosity, leading him to a horrifying fate.
The next deleted clip is of the sacrificial cup in the ampule room. Initially, instead of the green crystal, there was the sacrificial cup, the same one that we saw at the beginning of Prometheus, and it was seen in one of the trailers. However, in the later stages of production, it was replaced with the green crystal because the movie decided to not explore the Engineer storyline. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I was really disappointed we didn't get a true exploration of the Engineer's planet and history.
we didnt get pretty much anything
@jyesucevitz Seconded. 👍👍
Yeah and wtf was with the engineer people in Covenant. Shaw was going to the engineer homeworld at the end of Prometheus. That's what we wanted to see. Sure, it would be predictable, but that's what everyone wanted. The series was meant to explore the engineers more than the aliens, but they just disappear and it goes back to aliens.
@@DolphLundgrensDolphinDungeon Yes, it felt like a new frontier getting explored to be honest, not some Xenomorph bull. Sadly we got Covenant crap -_- instead of Prometheus: Paradise Lost.
It was the people who was an alien horror film, they got upset and whined like babies about prometheus so they had to appease them in the second film
Simply leaving in that one scene where David and Weyland have a full blown conversation with the engineer would have fixed so many of this movie's problems. :(
Still doesn’t explain why they picked too completely unsuitable crewmen in the Geographer (who got lost) and the Xenobiologist who got scared of 3,000 yr old dead Alien head, but not scared of an alien vagina faced snake in a full threat pose.
It doesn’t explain why they ignored any quarantine protocols that were such a bug part of Alien and immediately took their suit helmets off.
@@SvenTviking Yep. It's like they dragged them off the street for this expedition. Insanely stupid. And then there's David. Brrr... At least they gave us a new meme: the Prometheus School of Running Away.
I don't agree. Prometheus could have been good but 2 scenes just made it unforgivably bad. The pathetic frightened bearded jackass with attitude who threw a tantrum and then got himself killed with the other moron who poked a creature he knew nothing about after seeing a dead alien humanoid.... yeah, that was pretty dumb and those two characters were so awful and unlikeable....
Anyway, that and the black goo inconsistencies that was so poorly written that it's effect was whatever it needed to be to create the next eye candy....
Sorry, the movie was just utter garbage and an embarrassment.
Such a shitty movie and yet with this content at least it would have made some sense.
I'm not so sure. Yes the movie would have been MUCH better but I would not understand why we would need a sequel like the one we got with Alien Covenant - aka that fascination to visit the engineer's world.
I still cannot get over how they were so cavalier with the alien cobra thing. Even on Earth, you don't try play with a cobra.
🤣🤣🤣 This, 1000x this! There are SOOO many moments like that. All theyd have had to do is go in, explore, keep their helmets TF-on/not touch anything and be out free. But naturally being human and curious is what got them.
Such a long string of dim-wittedly bad decisions 😝
The lack of quarantine protocols ruined both movies multiple times. Granted it would have been boring to include them but in real situations there is zero chance of removing helmets, playing with aliens, ignoring safety and contamination issues, etc
@@AnArChRiStxseditioThey even showed these two being scared of aliens in the beginning and antagonistic towards each other. Then suddenly they started being best buddies and playing with an alien cobra like it's a little puppy.
You need at least an entire movie to show that kind of character arc. Scenes like this makes me question not just the movie, but also myself. And as you said, there could be contamination. There might not even be any huge xenomorphs, but microbes and spores would kill a human even here on earth.
Guess they wanted to save that for Covenant😂
I swear I remember I watched Shaw say "it's not a map, it's an invitation" in the theatre.
It's quantum physics: it happened differently to you because perspective.
She did say it . If you watch the movie again you’ll see it. She definitely said it .
theatre versions sometimes are different from TV, DVD? Bluray's etc... it's weird.
I saw this in theaters in 2012 and Shaw definitely says that line. Even in my copy of the movie, that scene is still there!
She did say it. It's on my copy.
Absolutely baffling the editing choices that were made for the final cut. Practically every point you made about the deleted material and how they would have enhanced our understanding of various scenes is spot on!
studios always depriving us with their bureaucratic interference
Sometimes, not understanding is better.
They should released 2 version. One is director's cut and another is studios cut.
The storytelling is awful, too. There must've been a lot of interference. The characters are unlikeable, every single one of them makes terrible decisions. Rather than feeling like real people, they feel like pastiches or caricatures. The idiosyncratically grounded feeling of the Alien universe was somehow lost completely. It was annoying to say the least.
@@VVeremoose I don't mind movies that leave you surmising but promethius was just a dog's breakfast of BS. I hate directors who tried to be "creative" by leaving out key parts of the story line.
The best example is the ending for the Sopranos. David Chase explained that since the entire series was shot through tony's eyes, the black out ending fit. The problem? The series was NEVER shot first person through tony's eyes. In fact, much of the series was shot 3rd person showing all the other character's lives so how can that be "through tony's eyes" if he wasn't there?
It always baffles me how Ridley can destroy his own work by these bad decisions.
He has George Lucas syndrome. The ability to create greatness and totally fuck it up unless reigned in.
Ridley makes only bad decisions these days. Even his own work. This 33 minutes would have made the movie 10 times better.
Trutb
Your opinions have not impacted his quite successful movie career. As a matter of fact, he is one of the most successful...
carry on.
@@morbidmanmusic He succeeds despite himself......now you can carry on
I worked for one of the VFX companies on Prometheus and remember the alternate Fifield mutations sequence well - it was actually referred to as "Fifield Lives" internally and along with the opening engineers sequence I view it as some of our best work on the show. Was disappointed to not see it included in the theatrical cut but am happy it at least got to see the light of day for others to enjoy!
Wow! Great work you did. So sorry they cut out your best stuff.
Got to say the VFX holds up all these years later as suburb work, nice job. There is allot of films today that don't look nearly as good.
So what was that mutation supposed to be? Why did he turn into a weird big forehead monster ?
@@ROVA00 you'll have to ask Ridley Scott
@@ROVA00 To be fair, guy did the VFX he didn't write it. That's more a question for the script writer.
Dude the Engineers are the most important thing the original space jockey has left me pondering for decades and the hope to finally understand them had me so excited and turned into a even bigger tease...this movie and it's sequel were capable of such great things. They had actors, the director, the budget, man it could of been great, all the fans wanted was origin story, every one has seen every type of xenomorph again and again, it's played out bring us to something more substantial
I also find the whole idea that the engineers went extinct to be stupid and I don’t understand why anyone even believes that theory.
Why would a 100 million plus year old race of biological technology just go away just like that?
Well the answer is simple: they didn’t go extinct and are still thriving out in the universe.
Unfortunately, they deleted the most important scenes. I have no idea what they were thinking. A movie about the engineers and their god and planet would be awesome!
They don't delete the most stupid way to die perhaps even in cinema, lol...
I like it the way it is, the engineers are just a part of the story, the main character has always been the xenomorphs etc.. I think if we got too deep into the background of the engineers it might have spoiled it. Better to leave a bit of mistery. And ultimatly everything we are being shown is to explain the history of the "alien" the story was never about the engineers.
A movie dedicated to exploring the Engineers would be EPIC. ❤👽🙏
they only make the exact opposite though. I guess slaves that settle for slavery only get crap slave entertainment.
Engineer trilogy!
I wish that they will have the Engineers in a future alien-movie. The Engineers have potential.
@@earthcitizen3939 would only betray it like all of the potential since alien 3. gutted by the military.
@@erikred8217 What do you mean by gutted by the military?
Leaving all this in would have made this movie one of my favorites. So much more depth to the characters and most importantly to the Engineers.
There use to be a fan made edit of Prometheus on Pirate Bay were someone inserted all the deleted scenes like its a directors cut. It was really good.
I downloaded a copy of that, but sadly lost it.
Its not there anymore?
I still have it. I'll never delete it.
@@brendonmcgirr5448I've got it too. Great film
@@brendonmcgirr5448i need that from you, how can i get it, hit me up i pay for it direct download
I find it ironic that much of Alien 1979’s success came from Ridley making the right decisions. Well other than cutting the egg morphing scene, which might have been the studio’s decision. Either way, Prometheus would have been much better if Ridley didn’t make all of the changes this go around. The story would have made a lot more sense and would have added more depth to the characters.
You know its possible its not just the director, I heard that after that western Heaven's Gate flopped the control of production was relegated to producers instead of the director... but...unless your name is James Cameron 😂
@@arvinjay336 Definitely! Heaven's Gate is a crazy story...
or maybe they should have just release a cinema cut and a director's cut for the true fans of the alien lore
Crazy because stuff like this probably happened, only on a smaller scale - or was entirely covered up along with many atrocities of that time.
Indeed .however we will never know why they cut the movie down (usually for times sake) and could be simply budget related or time constraint related
THANK YOU Kroft, for all your hard work, I've been subbed for years, and you still are one of my favorite channels, my go-to for anything PEOMETHEUS! (my in depth anything Prometheus guide)
Hopefully some day we can get a proper extended edition of Prometheus with the extra scenes.
Perhaps we can get a completely new film that doesn’t kill off what should have been a fantastic new storyline.
read this.. i watched life of brian,monty python, ect.. before i knew, what they were based on.. same with this movie.. so,, this was taken from. viper tv sumerian tablets.. not just a movie,, but our tru beginnings.. search for real history,,not gaming, movie, tv media bs.. saw an interview, with r. scott.. he acually leaned, to this..
I visited Dettifoss, the waterfall from Prometheus a couple of weeks ago, and stood in the exact same spot as the engineer! I still love this film, despite all of its flaws
Wow! Is the location very remote?
@@dawnatkinson7704 it is right at the north of the island, so it involved a big car journey from Reykjavik, but we did it over a weekend and got to see the entire ring road of Iceland. It is simple to get to in the summer but apparently all the roads close down in winter, making it pretty inaccessible.
same! back in 2021. very cool
@@dawnatkinson7704its touristy (there’s a car park, barriers and so on) but does require driving and walking to get to. it’s exactly like the film minus the aliens :) pick the time of year correctly though, Iceland gets very cold and dangerous
You should have drunk a bowl of soup or a cup of coffee to make it more memorable.
i will never understand what Riddley Scott was thinking with the change on the script and the deleted scenes
I think one of the reason is the political corectness. He cut many religion references to not have trouble
@@GK-jg6puInteresting theory
Scott has had this whole theory that really started with this film that the xenomorph was dead and no one wanted to see it anymore well several movies, a tv series, and several big hit games have proven him wrong.
@@donovanbradford8231He was right for the movies.
@@donovanbradford8231 i think aliens tv series would be a bomb
I always got the idea the trilobite was attacking the engineer partially to protect its mother, Shaw. I have watched the scenes a number of times, still coming to that conclusion.
it's nuts there's still potential for new videos on this channel with this now familiar style of narration of yours and this background music. How many years have passed and still we're left with the mystery of engineers set up in the Prometheus movie, gosh
Yeah dude you made this movie 10 times better than it actually was lol
The most complete variant of Prometheus movie IMO is: Prometheus Workprint Edition Ver 2017.
@@StefanBlagojevic I gotta see it!

What I'm really wondering, is how many of these scenes were cut _after_ it's run in theatres? Because I swear, I remember seeing most of them and being confused when my memories didn't match up with the home video release
I just want more Shaw.
Such an amazing performance, i loved every second of her
Ridley Scott hates his female characters… which is why he destroys them.
He totally mutilated Shaw in the sequel
I'm just going to put out what everybody's always thought:
We need an Engineers movie.
Im big on tranquil ponds n deep thots maybe a few pretty birds for a splash of co lour
This upload was outstanding. Thank you.
I really wish we got more on the Engineers, my fave parts of the films
You should try to read the Fire and Stone Aliens / Prometheus/ AVP its pretty cool!
Yeah, he should have expanded on the Übermensch lore. Instead we got fluting robots.
Yeah, at least that was something new and interesting. Covenant became about an angry android, no thanks to that.
I absolutely love that you're still making videos about this amazing movie. For me, there are a handful of scenes that I feel absolutely should have been in the film, but I don't feel that ALL of these should be reworked into the movie. I still hope for a true sequel every day.
Amazing movie?.... Lol
The sequel was Alien Covenant, also a very very bad movie.
Ditto times a million! I really feel... attached to this, because the story itself was growing and mutating. Thanks heaps!
@@garciansmith1460 Prometheus was a very good movie thzt could have been great. Covenant was crap start to finish
THey should totally hire you as a writer for a sequel or anything to do with an alien sequel ! You are so spot on ,and you make a lot of sense !
This is genuinely such interesting content. Thank you for stuff like this! And props to everybody who made the scenes in this movie possible at all, I'm sure it's a lot of work.
Maybe there could be a book, movie, or something else made to explore Engineers in their entirety.
I want to see more of their culture, history, and religion!
There's so many possibilities still open for the taking with Prometheus.
I just hope it continues with the "fuck you, figure it out on your own" thing.
been following your content on Prometheus and aliens for years and absolutely love them as Prometheus is easily in my top 5 movies . You should write ideas for the next movie to Ridley Scott who knows it might even work out, we never know 🤷♂️🤷♂️
What are them? Top 5
Have you only seen 7 movies?
@@jebpleb1803 I was thinking that it must suck that this guy/gal/ non-binary wasted time watching Batman Forever.
Top 5 movies, are you even 21?
That's quite interesting - I knew that in the aftermath of watching the movie I heard the interpretation many times that the Engineers were set to destroy humanity because they had crucified Jesus, but judging from what the cut scenes suggest, the Deacon, i.e. that creature which suspiciously looks like a Xenomorph is their "Jesus" because that's what they worship. This would suggest that the Xenomorph was actually based on a creature that really truly existed, and that the Engineers' efforts were directed towards recreating that creature which they considered to be perfect. But this would mean that these Engineers are not really Gods or supernatural beings of any kind, that they have been created by someone or something else, i.e. they are "lesser Gods" at best and we humans, within the universe of what story, would be "children of a lesser god" (this is not intended to be a reference to the movie of the same title). They are not Gods in the sense of being perfect, but here they go about imitating their creators in becoming creators themselves, and being worshipped as Gods in their turn by them. And humans, represented by Peter Weyland, go about doing the same, with PW creating David, essentially repeating the hubris of their creators and creating beings that they hope will worship them as Gods. And in the sequel to this movie we have David essentially going mad because he cannot come to terms with being a perfect being created by a being that was essentially imperfect. 🥴
The axe that elizabeth shaw picks up towards the end of the movie was originally intended to be a Engineers weapon, there a bunch of them mounted on the walls in the alien ship navigation room.
I think one of the main reasons that the engineer's speech was deleted is they wanted to leave his behavior to be a mystery - to be explained in a later movie. So, you could say it was all about money and getting you to come and see the next movie.
Ridley Scott should never deleted these interesting scenes! Don't understand why he did it.
I guess because the studio told him to, presumably to speed up the "pacing" of the movie. 😡 Honestly, I do not know why directors ever put up with this and why there aren't more having their name in the credits replaced by "Judas Boothe" to protest these changes, because they are hardly ever for the better and generally only produce plot-holes. It's the director who knows their story best, the studios usually cannot get their dollar signs out of their eyes.
he should just never have made these uninteresting, uninspired, insipid movies...I'd rather watch paint dry
“Alan Smithee” exists exactly for this
@@geoffhoutman1557 yes, you're right, I've mixed that up, Judas Boothe is for Script writers...
seriously - now we are getting 3 hour movies without half the substance
I just want a sequel for closure
alien covenant
Aint it Alien Covenant 😂 ^
Glad you did this video, at least now we know what it should have been, for that I am grateful, excellent content as always
Cool info! Thanks!
By the way, if you put "0:00 intro" (you can use other text as well) first, before any of the following timecodes in the description, it will make the chapters in the timeline of the video. Might be useful for many viewers 👍🏽
Your videos are so great. You opened my eyes to so much and almost think the story has more reality than fiction and that Scott might know more than what we think. God bless
You're definitely onto something
... riiiiight.
That's stupid as shit.
The Engineers were a fascinating and mysterious civilizations in this Franchise, sad that they can't make a spin off or give more time to any Engineer story telling. It would be fun to see what the Writers can come up with for the Engineers.
Another great video! Thank you!! 😊
Kroft how many times I had said it. Is always a pleasure to see your videos!!!
Great to hear from you Kroft. The poor effort in illuminating Engineer motivations and origins is very unfortunate. They really had something captivating to explore. The audience got great cinematography with some teasing visuals, then is left with the bad taste of ambiguousness.
This film left an impression when I walked out of the theater in 2012 and it still does, beyond it's imperfections. In a somewhat similar light as the map/invitation found globally in disconnected ancient cultures we have remarkably mysterious structures globally right here on Earth that have a similar "DNA". So called Megalithic structures in Peru share an essence with structures across the world in Italy, Greece, Egypt and other locales. Assembled from large to enormous blocks of stone with very high precision that defy the official mumbo jumbo narrative. Their official history is not on actual record and is merely comprised of elaborate supposition and drawn conclusion, packaged and delivered as truth for the unknowing and unwitting masses. Some legends, of course, suggest giants constructed them.
In the Alien Covenant novel, while referencing the Engineers, David makes a remark : "they did like to build things...".
I wonder if beyond all of our speculations and fantasies that if a greater truth is right in front of us, yet unrecognized because we are not conditioned or possibly not even equipped to recognize it.
I have always thought we were missing more about the movie, the story never felt complete to me, now I know why, thanks for giving the context that was missing that explains the back gound better.
So sad we’re never finishing this story
ur finishing the story In Real Life u ignorant human
I just wish it got retconned. The engineers removed all the mystery of the space jockey, especially by revealing that they’re actually just tall pale bald guys instead of weird elephant looking aliens like the first movie implied
It was finished after Aliens.
@@YodaOnABender not at all cause a reason was never given as to why they want to kill humanity. whether with space jockey or bald pale engineers.
@@diegoaespitia The space jockey and the engineers are the same thing, that’s why it sucks
A movie sequel exploring the Engineer's planet, history, and motives would be a great idea. It's a pity it wasn't included in the original. Someday a director's cut of Prometheus might be released on Blu--Ray, assuming that Ridley Scott makes all the deleted scenes available.
Thanks for the content; it was really interesting to watch
You did a fabulous job with this video. But the first deleted scene with the engineers on Earth(Ridley Scott said the planet wasn't necessarily Earth, but let's assume that it is.) cut to Dr. Shaw and Dr Holloway "thousands" of years later? Probably billions of years later.
Prom and Cov are impressive and far more interesting to me than most other movies from this genre. Big, big fan of the Alien 1,2 & 3. Prom and Cov are a great addition to this IP and I wish they hadn't cancelled Season 3 of Raised by Wolves, another amazing show!
Prometheus could've been so much better with the Engineer's planet exploration
Dude your voice is calming it puts me to sleep every single time. It’s a compliment by the way
I have not subscribed to your channel but oh my god I love you work and I've watched all your videos..... thank you
I love this movie. Sadly, after watching this and your other videos, I think it could have been much better. Thanks!
I love when Kroft uploads. The Alien franchise is amazing and i've been a fan for a long time. I'm not just talking about the good movies. I'm talking about the whole franchise. It is good to see people who like Prometheus, Alien Covenant , and the original movies.
EDIT: I also agree with you 100% about John Spaihts version of the script and i don't understand why Ridley Scott decided to bring in Damon when the script that was written by Spaihts was a very solid script and if Ridley would have went with Spaihts version, i feel that Prometheus wouldn't have gotten such a negative review. Additionally, It is extremely upsetting me that we won't get to have a sequel to Covenant. David, is one of the best characters in this franchise and i would have loved to see what happens down the line between him and the engineers. Now, all we can do is imagine what would happen. I wrote a script for the sequel of covenant called Alien: Royalty and I'm sure that there are many people out there like me who have written their own story of David's continuance and since we will never get a sequel to covenant, we will have to stick to the comics and fan made scripts and stories.
Fantastic content you make, I hope you keep making it
Love this movie, thanks for the video! “Not a map, an invitation “ is not deleted. I’ve seen it many times.
So, this is basically 33 instances of "The movie would've made a lot more sense if they had left this in".
The original concept for this movie had an actual semblence of an understandable plot, but the film makers for some reason decided to change it and make it totally indecipherable from what's presented on screen.
Agreed 💯
Anytime you explain videos . I know its going to be great 👍🏼. I think shaw and weylands daughter should have survived for the next movie .
I think its possibly interesting to consider that beginning like how smalls took the baseball in sandlot. He did have that shiner
The green crystal/cup switch is utterly baffling. Thanks for reviewing the deleted scenes, still not sure if it could have redeemed Prometheus but I guess we will never know.
It's sad that Prometheus and Covenant suffer from terrible editing. For me they are (or could've been) the best example of scifi horror films.
No one has ever come up with a theory or an explanation for the relevance of the green crystal ?
Any ideas Kroff?
@Kroft talks about Movies There was also a scene, where the Engineer, pries open the outer door of the life-preservation-module, with his bare hands! I loved that scene! I would also recommend, Kroft, that you take a look at the PROMETHEUS PREQUEL NOVEL done specifically for the Japanese market, as it also brings a new story to PROMETHEUS and things that happened before the ship took to the stars. Kind regards!
Still one of my favourite movies, would have loved and extended or directors cut. Are we still getting Alien Awakening, the follow up to Covenant?? Does anyone know. Cheers Kroft.💯👊🏽
theyre doing Alien Romulus now.
some of these were good decisions to remove them, but most shouldve stayed
I listened to a an interview with Ridley on a podcast and he was talking about the importance of having Final Cut and creative control as a director, he was mentioning Blade Runner but it seems like he got meddled with on Prometheus too.
thanks for that. I am a prometheus fan and found your video very interesting.
He’s back!
I suppose the most painful thing about this whole series is that I so wanted the engineers to be friends.
There are always deleted scenes in every movie, but I have to agree that many scenes should've been left in, especially the exchange between Wayland and the tall humanoid. I hope they release the extended version someday.
The video was brilliant, thank you, but I would’ve liked you to read out the engineers speech to Wayland
I miss when you spoke at your own pace, it sounded more interesting. I still love your videos but please don't listen to people that say you speak too slow.
Fascinating stuff. I love Prometheus, I have no idea why Scott refuses to release an extended cut.
Because he believes the correct version is what he delivered. Like a writter is not publishing all the chapter he wrote for a book ...
'Cos it's a misconceived and disappointing load of crap?? (In my view!)
The funny part about Prometheus is that the entire movie was made to explain the engineers and the origin of the 'Xenomorph' species of the earlier films but their producer/investors changed their mind midway and made a nonsensical movie which cut out 75% of its actual content.
Thanks. This was very nice!
Kroft Is Here! 🙏
While far from perfect, I never quite understood why Prometheus got so much hate. It has some great characters(mostly David) , some horrifying sci-fi monster moments and a story with somewhat interesting musings on the origin of life. Yea, the plot never quite comes together and some of the characters behave strangely( which these deleted scenes seem to clear up somewhat anyway) but it’s a great looking space monster movie with some great aesthetics and vibes. I think it’s the fact it’s thought of as being part of the aliens series that doomed it. It seems clear from this video it may have had some stronger themes and narratives it was trying to explore but unfortunately got lost on the way through production. Still a fun movie for what it is.
Sorry, I hated it! For me it was Scott ruining his own magic, and shattering the spell of "Alien." But sure, "Prometheus" remains the film that divides "Alien' freaks!!
The conversation with the engineer would've been so awesome! 😮
Hi Kroft, love the videos! Who/where does the back ground music that is in a lot of your videos is from? It is SO fitting and relaxing. Can you tell me where you get this or comes from? I'd really appreciate it if you would let me know. Its very, very good!
I liked the fact he kept using that Atlantis audio in each video to make the video more interesting.
What I loved about the original movie, was that you felt a deep univers, that you only saw a fragment of. As soon as you explain everything that depth is erased.
thx you. The maker of this video does not undersntad a thing about story telling. They want to explain and understand everything ... That why is a youtube maker and Ridley a director.
@@bobtornton1436 Quite right, like a David Lynch film people shouldn't need to be spoon fed everything.
Agreed. One of the (many) things that made Alien (1986) so memorable was the _utter incomprehensibility_ of what the Nostromo crew encountered on LV-426. The vast derelict ship, the 'space jockey', the xenomorph itself ... were awe-inspiring because they were _beyond human understanding._ Any attempt at a story designed to 'explain' them and relate them to humanity would inevitably come across as an anticlimax. I enjoyed Prometheous as a 'stand-alone' movie but didn't find the idea that it had any relevance to the original movie that inspired it to be at all convincing.
I love these scenes!! They would have been so good to see in the release.
thanks for the video. good information

Still mad at Mayfield change.
Appreciate the breakdown. This movie could have been so much more, they decided to play it safe and not offend anyone.
Not having Alien Awakening, following the end of Covenant with David flying into space aboard a ship with thousands of test subjects is one of the biggest tragedies in cinema imo. @Kroft talks about Movies is there any update on this movie that you are aware of?
Thank you for posting these deleted scenes in chronological order. They clear up a lot of confusing aspects of the movie giving it a more continuous cohesive flow had they not been deleted. I hope and wish the the deleted scenes can be included and the movie re-released. Perhaps then it will get the praise it justly deserved but was sadly deleted the first time round including parts and dialogue from the original script and inserted. It may help if members of the original production team responsible for the cuts be removed, before reinserting the deleted scenes and re releasing the movie 'Prometheus 2 uncut and revamped version' r some such, and include some background info on the planet and the history of the Engineers as suggested by @jyesucevitz below. Those responsible for the cuts should be blacklisted for screwing up what would have been a perfectly good movie.
It is utterly disappointing to hear Scott will not re-release with all these scenes. I so love this film!
Makes me sad that the engineers were cut and ignored from the movie. People wanted xenomorphs not an origination story and it burned this great original idea out of the sky.
From the begining people wanted engineers but someone deliberately started a rumor tp justify changing the plot and old Ridley believed it.
One or two of these deleted scenes were in the cut that we got in Australia. The one I’m sure of is where Shaw says “no, not a map, an invitation.” After fifield says “so you brought us here because of a map you two kids found in a cave?”
Yes! I loved this movie. This video popping up in my feed has made my night
I still haven’t watched covenant because it is an abomination.
Covenant somehow manages to make Prometheus even worse.
You don't need to, it's too much about David.
Biggest fan
I would love to see the FULL version of this with all the omitted stuff back in. No wonder I felt so confused after watching it; even after several times.
The conversation with wayland would have made so much sense,these deleted scenes def should have been in the film sad really like what were they thinking,ive must have watched this 5 times good video ty
This should’ve been an hour long video 😢
I love your videos but it would have been nice if this one actually showed the scenes instead of you just describing them.
Not all of them were shot
These scenes are so needed to make it make any sense.
The movie was lost on the editing room floor...one of the most beautiful hot-messes ever filmed.
Based on Shaw's and David's last interaction I understand why he used her for his experiments . She also is just as psychopathic as Welland himself both having selfish reasons for their journey into deep space at the cost of everyone else☹️
Wdym? I thought it was because, just like Ripley she was a survivor, and gave birth to an alien, gave life to new life. A better specimen. How David saw humans. Androids had surpassed their masters. And David wanted to improve Shaw...the perfect mother.
@@OceanBloke I'm basing this on the fact she intended to go into space and had pre conceived notions about the voyage ,and like Weyland believes it's her right regardless of consequence 🤔
You have no clue what your talking about lol
@@tulsibeepat3453 ur not wrong I guess. But I think ur giving David too simplistic a method for his madness. He had a sort of envy towards humans as well as disdain. He saw Shaw as the perfect specimen. Somewhere in that middle ground he came to his conclusion to perfect life...
Again, a Scott movie destroyed by bad editing. Could have been great.
