The October 9, 2012 Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD release date for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus has been known for some time. As the release date has approached, we have been kept in the dark as to what exactly would fall onto each home video release. Now we know, and the answer heavily favors purchasing the Blu-ray 3D edition.
Let’s start with what’s the same between the four-disc Blu-ray 3D Collector’s Edition and two-disc Blu-ray edition of Prometheus. Both editions will come in “premium packaging,” Fox’s words, not mine, and include the DVD and a digital copy. The theatrical cut of the film (there is no director’s cut) will be presented in 1080p video and 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.
Where the specs start to differ are in the bonus features. The following extras will be available on both Blu-ray editions:
- Commentary by Director/Producer Ridley Scott
- Commentary by Writer Jon Spaihts and Writer/Executive Producer Damon Lindelof
- The Peter Weyland Files
- Deleted and Alternate Scenes that include an Alternate Opening / Ending
- Prometheus – Weyland Corp Archive Second Screen App
Prometheus Collector’s Edition gets an exclusive extra disc (aside from the Blu-ray 3D disc) that includes the following exclusive extras:
- The Furious Gods: Making Prometheus
- Enhancement Pods
- Weyland Corp Archive
- Pre-Vis
- Screen Tests
Fox has issued new cover art for both Blu-ray editions of Prometheus that you can see below.
Prometheus was written by Damon Lindelof from an original script by Jon Spaihts. It stars Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Noomi Rapace and Logan Marshall-Green.
