Prometheus Blu-ray - First Details

By Amarpal Biring / July 6, 2012

The most anticipated and polarising film of 2012 is coming to Blu-ray later this year and details of the bonus content have been found on Amazon.fr. Anyone hoping for a significant number of deleted scenes to fill in the film's many plot holes will be disappointed as there are only 15 minutes worth. But the most exciting thing on the disc may be the inclusion of the first and final draft of the script by Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts. Prometheus began as a straight Alien prequel written by Jon Spaihts until Damon Lindelof conducted a re-write that became the final product. If they do actually include Spaihts' original draft, it will be fascinating to see how he originally planned to link it to Alien and if it would have actually made a better film. You also get Ridley Scott providing an audio commentary so it will be very interesting to hear what he has to say about some of the scenes which left people scratching their heads. Fox is also including all the other four Alien movies in the set entitled ''Evolution: From Alien to Prometheus'' which is great but it might have made more sense to do that once all the sequels to Prometheus have been released. Amazon have priced it around the £80 mark with a release date as 3rd October 2012. An official announcement regarding the bonus features hasn't been made so this list might change.
