The Engineer Reads a Book – New Prometheus Deleted Scene Still
The official Prometheus Facebook page has recently posted a still from a deleted scene. However, this specific still is not to be seen in any of the deleted scenes on the Prometheus Blu-ray or DVD, begging the question: “how much is Fox really holding back regarding removed footage”?
Some of you will watch the nearly 4-hour long documentary called “The Furious Gods – Making of Prometheus” found on the Bonus disc that’s a part of the 4-disc Prometheus Blu-ray set. And in doing so you’ll notice in the video that they were shooting some scenes (example: the Engineer walking outside to the life boat after the crash) that didn’t make it as a deleted scene extra or in the theatrical version of the movie. Check out our Prometheus Alternate Ending discussion!
And in further support of more extra footage to be found, someone in the 4-hour documentary (editor Pietro Scalia, I believe) mentioned that the first cut of the movie was 2 hours and 30 minutes long. A fan edit was recently made where all of the deleted scenes from the Blu-ray were integrated back in. The run-time of the whole fan edit came out to be 2 hours and 14 minutes long. So who knows, maybe there will be a new set of disc releases down the line showing more deleted scenes through an official extended (or director’s) cut of the movie.
Thanks to PrometheusForum user DonBarracuda for the news of this still.
And yes, the Engineer looks like he’s taking a dump.

“So who knows, maybe there will be a new set of disc releases down the line showing more deleted scenes…”
Ya think?
That is a cool pic!
Once again Ridley has chosen to keep all the wrong takes and excised all the best footage just like he did with Hannibal.
I would have preferred more of this scene, and the walking to the lifeboat scene over frivolous stuff like the “skin” scene and its useless aping of Alien to impress 13 year olds.
I really think that it will take someone having access to the raw footage to really make a proper presentation out of Prometheus.
Even the alt.Fifield scene was edited badly.
Or at least every bit of footage legally possible like the BR 5 disk super set.
I think Ridley was only peripherally, and scalia was definitely NOT involved in editing the BR final cut.
Which its becoming obvious is why that came out so well.
If they do an extended cut one day, hopefully someone else will be in charge and Ridley and scalia will be to busy on the other side of the earth.
Nah, he looks too tiny here.
how??
What do you mean he looks too tiny? The actor who plays this engineer is 7′ 1″.
tiny penis?
I agree that he looked a bit too small in that scene in general. I really liked some of the moments in the final fight deleted scene, but the impact of the engineer is greater when he seems larger than life. I would have liked it if he had been 8ft!
It’s still an amazing image though. This was such a beautiful movie.
he’s not standing next to anyone so you can’t tell how tall he is… lol
this goes to show all the Prometheus fanboys who will be buying this next week how much more footage they are holding back for an extended cut release. You will regret it when they properly release the extended director’s cut within a year. Don’t waste your money.
I’ll buy that too when it comes out. Only true fans understand.
of course you will buy it…..your a sheep.
At least he understands how a reply button works.
Thanks, bro.
F U C K You….how do you like that for a reply.
Oh, it’s you again. Can’t leave us alone can you?
He did it! He figured out the reply button! Our little boy is growing up!
sorry i am a bully and I am going to give you girls both wedgies. Enjoy!
sounds like fun.
You’re a troll.
making the engineers half the size of the original space jockey and humanoid is one of the films biggest let downs..
he looks even smaller and more stupid in this picture
Yeah I agree. Neither of the screenwriters are very creative to say the least. I highly doubt that the original Jockey was humanoid. However, when you try to tackle a film like this and you need actors to fill those suits, why not make them humanoid. Fking lame to say the least! When I think of Alien and watch it and see that Jockey, I think of a huge Alien race and what is behind that suit is not human. Damon Lindelof even thought it was stupid but he ended up giving in and going with it. This movie was a huge letdown for Alien fans.
It means we can have Shaw and David interact with actual human performers and not effects when they get to the Engineer home planet in the sequel. That’s a huge advantage. There’s plenty of room for other non-humanoid creatures anyway.
I want to see the Engineers labs.
where is that fan edit?????
