"Questions Will Be Answered" On 'Prometheus' Blu-Ray, Promises Director Ridley Scott

Posted byBy Kristen Sales | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

HitFix is reporting that the upcoming Blu-Ray release of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus on October 9th will finally shed some light on the film’s murky mythology. When the Alien prequel was released this past June, many fans and critics were left with more questions than answers. The Blu-Ray release could provide some much appreciated closure to those viewers who found Prometheus visually thrilling but narratively inconsistent.

There will be two versions of the film available to purchase: a two-disc Blu-Ray boasting fifteen minutes of deleted scenes, and a whopping four-disc collector’s edition Blu-Ray set.

The four-disc set will include two audio commentaries by director Ridley Scott and co-writer Damon Lindelof, five making-of featurettes, alternate beginning and ending,  TV spots and trailers.

Cynical fans may question Scott’s claim that “questions will be answered.” After all, why bother to make and release a movie at all if you’re going to wait till the home video release to reveal the whole story? Then there’s the issue of the two-disc vs. four-disc set: which release will feature more answers? No doubt the same critics who accused Scott of resurrecting a dead movie franchise for crass commercial purposes will be none too pleased by this Blu-Ray release.

One wonders if perhaps any of the insight provided on the Blu-Ray will be substantiated by the already-announced sequel to the prequel, Prometheus 2.

Twentieth Century Fox is betting you’ll spend more money to find out.

 

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
