If you left PROMETHEUS thinking, “Holy hell… I need to see that again, but I don’t really want to pay to see it again,” then you’re probably very much looking forward to the home video release of the Ridley Scott epic. (Of course, if you loved it, no questions asked, you’ll be anticipating your own copy as well.) So what can we expect when it crash lands into our Blu-ray players?
This might be the answer. Now, these details originate from the French Amazon page for the flick, so we can’t be sure if these specs will apply to the North American release as well. (Nor can we be 100% if said specs are set in stone.) However, it’s all rather specific, so let’s be optimistic and hope that PROMETHEUS on disc will be as packed as indicated here…
Also please note that the translation is rough.

Perhaps the most intriguing inclusion on the bonus features? The first and final draft of the script. That means we’ll get to read Jon Spaights’ straight-forward ALIEN prequel screenplay, before Damon Lindelof came in and changed things drastically. Would love to get a look at that, but hell, the whole thing is appetizing.
There will also apparently be a limited collector’s box set available called EVOLUTION: FROM PROMETHEUS TO ALIEN, which will include all four ALIEN movies as well as PROMETHEUS and Bonus discs. (Seems to be the same as the ALIEN QUADRILOGY that has already been released, with PROMETHEUS 2D and 3D thrown in.)
PROMETHEUS hits DVD and Blu-ray this fall; it looks like the French version hits on OCTOBER 3rd.
