Runtime: 2 hours 32 minutes. This is probably the closest thing we will ever have to a Director's Cut. VulturalWell-known memberDonorMessages3,073Reaction score3Trophy Points43May 20, 2017

If you're curious about this particular edit, It has all the stuff that Vultural posted in the beginning but does not include the crew physical testing part. VulturalWell-known memberDonorMessages3,073Reaction score3Trophy Points43May 20, 2017

Might be in the credits, though. TMBTMWell-known memberFaneditorMessages5,907Reaction score14Trophy Points83May 20, 2017

The TED speach is not even directed by Ridley Scott but by his son as far as I know.
The training scenes were part of the internet promo for the movie (along with many others), etc. VulturalWell-known memberDonorMessages3,073Reaction score3Trophy Points43May 21, 2017

Opening twenty minutes yielded the most gems, but they are all in the link in the earlier post.
After that, I started seeing all the crap in Prometheus I hated.
Millburn - Fifield - Dr Shaw's little baby, Dagon.
The training material and Weyland commercials follow the credits, where they ought to be.
I had no problem with non-Scott individuals shooting some scenes.
Second Unit crew - Third Unit crew. Most big films have those.
Another gripe, off topic, I think Peter Weyland has a history of hiring crap employees.
Think of the mistakes his people made in every installment.
You have to hire good people, awesome people, if you are a big CEO - or even President. TMBTMWell-known memberFaneditorMessages5,907Reaction score14Trophy Points83May 22, 2017

I have no problem either putting back in the movie promotional scenes not shot by Scott, I was just emphasizing the fact that they are not jettisoned deleted scenes. MysterFixItMemberMessages15Reaction score1Trophy Points6May 31, 2017

Did you see he added tongs to Milburn's hand in his death scene? =) I thought that was a brilliant idea :idea: I plan to add them in as well, but w/different music & removing the hissing sound. Hopefully that can make his death less annoying =P beezoWell-known memberFaneditorMessages371Reaction score0Trophy Points26May 31, 2017

I can't find this. Would you mind posting just a 1 minute or so segment that has this effect? Thanks. MysterFixItMemberMessages15Reaction score1Trophy Points6May 31, 2017

But that's strange that it's not there. I have the original one he made a few years back. (That was the first time I ever heard of fan editing, actually =) MysterFixItMemberMessages15Reaction score1Trophy Points6Jun 1, 2017

^To me, the best way to immediately improve this scene is to remove the hissing sound, and replace it with something silly or cute. Sort of like the scene in Jurassic Park when Nedry runs into that big running lizard thing. It's still an extremely stupid thing to do, but it plays a lot better if he at least takes a basic precaution (using tongs) and if the thing doesn't seem so threatening.

Took some snapshots with vlc so you could see it better (btw, is the new edit in 1080? If so that might be why he left this out - the older one is 720).

Yeah I don't know how hard it is to do something like that, so I might just ask for permission (I was making mine in 720 anyway, b/c I need to reuse a lot of shots, but I have to make them look different, so I'm hoping cropping will do the trick).

This happens to be a great 'extended' version of PROMETHEUS, and is a much more satisfying watch than the 'theatrical' cut overall.
However, the 'Workprint' version shown in that trailer is not the exact version I recently watched. Here's what I know about it -
The version in the trailer is a 'Workprint' edit by a guy called James Rivers, and while he originally included the clever 'tongs' idea to the 'hammerpede' attack, his subsequent tweaked version didn't include them as far as I know. However, it's unclear to me at the moment if he's actually intending to do a new, upgraded version in the near future, or not.
But I do know that he came up with a really neat way to incorporate Shaw's 'quiet eye' viral clip message to Weyland, using some artwork of the 'Mars base' by one of the movie's designers as an inspiration. However, the 'Workprint' version I recently downloaded which incorporated this scene, was not actually one of the versions done by James Rivers! Rather it's a slightly re-edited, smoothed-out version of his 'Workprint' which runs at approx. 2 hrs 38 mins. by a guy called 'CoalescedChaos' over at the avpgalaxy.net forums.
But before I go any further, this CGI-ied 'Mars base' scene was quite effectively placed in-between the end of the 'torch-lit cave painting' scene and the start of the 'tiny Prometheus ship travelling through space' scene.
Here's a clip of it...but ignore the slightly 'cartoony'-looking Mars planet at the beginning, as that shot is NOT in the 'CoalescedChaos' version I watched. Instead, the 'torch-lit cave painting' scene fades away to blackness briefly, and we start to hear the sound of the initial 'Mars base' shot momentarily against the darkness, before it then appears - it's very nicely integrated into the edit, and quite atmospheric overall -
James Rivers also CGI-ied the 'Engineer's burned face (as seen in the 'theatrical' cut footage) , so that it matched the non-burned version seen in the deleted 'Engineer vs Shaw' footage that was re-incorporated. Yet another nicely-done piece of work by him.
He's fine with 'CoalescedChaos's 'Workprint' re-edit, but as I say, it's unclear at this stage if he's intending to do another one of his own despite this, or not.
I've got my own ideas on how I want to re-edit the PROMETHEUS and ALIEN COVENANT movies for myself, but this lengthy, extended 'Workprint' certainly joins Agent 9's 'Prometheus Special Edition' as a much better watch for me in the meantime.
So I recommend you go check out the full cut-list details and info. to do with this over at avpgalaxy.net if interested - then click on FORUM - then go to the 'Films/TV' section - then click on 'Prometheus' - then go to the 'Normal Topics' section - then finally click on the 'PROMETHEUS: Workprint Edition 2017' thread there.

Also Im working on a new edit, which will fit in a bd25 disc with menu. I have my doubts about rendering it on 1080p beacuse some of the scenes have a very poor quality, so I'm not shure. Some details (audio and video) have been improved since the last iteration (nothing fancy really) and I'll be incorporating the Prologue The crossing, which is the sequence I'm working on right now. It's somehow hard to do it because the lack of material but I think I'm getting to it.
If you ever wondered, the original edition I came up with a long time ago, was meant to condense most of the available scenes, and despite the fact that some of the sequences didnt work very well in the whole context, and some of them where redundant at some point, my true goal was to have all the possible sequences joined and fit to be watched interspliced together withe the theatrical version.
One of the missing sequences I really hope some day see the light is when Weyland's aboard the Prometheus ready to visit the juggernaut and then the Fifield attack occurs. I tried to make a reconstruction of it but it was only very incomplete.
BTW, hope I can have the bd25 edit ready for upload by fall when the Alien covenant Bluray comes out.
And of course you can use my edition as a base for your own editions!!
