I'm not trying to endorse piracy here, but the retail DVD is now out online. I'll be buying the most deluxe version of the release they offer, but I wanted to take a better look at the film on video, and it also has 50% of the deleted scenes, plus one more that was leaked online. Some of the deleted scenes are useless, but some of them are quite good, including an incredible scene between Vickers and Weyland that should have never, never been trimmed down and is easily the best performance scene in the entire film. Not included in the leak, but available in part form elsewhere is an extension of the scene where Weyland meets the Engineer, and the Engineer speaks...and we find out what it was David asked him. The engineer's reply is still not explained in the clip online, but we do find out that David said to the Engineer that Weyland wanted to live forever. I'm glad to see Idris Elba as Janeck gets a couple of really nice extended scenes, as I felt he was the most underrated character in the film. Like Gaff in Blade Runner, he grows on you the more you get the chance to study his performance, he portrays a fairly solidly developed character if you acttually take notice of him. The deleted scenes also answer a few lingering questions, like perhaps what the engineers were running from in the video recording. There's a ton of visual clues you can pick up on when watching the film again in this quality. Waiting patiently until October when I can see this in HD and get all the extras.
