Prometheus Bluray Deleted Scenes Listed

The BBFC have listed the titles of the deleted scenes along with the runtimes from the Prometheus Bluray/DVD.

I did enjoy the film on when it was in cinemas (my review), and liked 'The Art Of' companion book as well. It looks like the scenes are listed in chronological order too, so for those that got a little confused with the film, hopefully the addition of seeing these deleted scenes will help clarify things a little better. 

00:02:31:16 Arrival Of The Engineers
00:00:58:05 T'is The Season
00:00:42:08 Our First Alien
00:00:42:14 Skin
00:01:22:01 We're Not Alone Anymore
00:02:57:01 Strange Bedfellows
00:01:25:04 Holloway Hungover
00:00:23:12 David's Objective
00:03:27:07 Janek Fills Vickers In

John Carter Deleted Opening Scene

Here's a deleted scene from one of my favourite film of the year so far, John Carter.

It's no secret that John Carter went through extensive additional photography in its two-year gestation period from production to premiere. While director Andrew Stanton gave a full-throated defense of the new scenes as a part of the creative process he'd learned while working at Pixar, the bad press caused by them contributed to the impression that John Carter was a troubled movie.

One of the biggest scenes that Stanton reshot was the opening to the film. In its Oct., 2011, profile of Stanton, The New Yorker chronicled the Pixar brain trust's reaction to the scene, which heavily featured Lynn Collins as Barsoomian (i.e. Martian) Princess Dejah Thoris: "[T]hey were confused by the film's beginning, in which Princess Dejah delivered a lecture about the state of the Barsoomian wars, and they found her arch and stony."

The opening was re-imagined with a pithier history of the Barsoomian wars, cutting directly to a pitched aerial battle, and much of Collins' scene was reshot and placed later in the film. But you can see the original scene in this exclusive clip from the John Carter Blu-ray edition (out June 5 US / July 2 UK) below. Many of the visual effects are not complete; the shots of rock faces in the Arizona and Utah desert, for example, were meant to be digitally remade into the crumbling edifices of once-great Barsoomian buildings. But the thrust of the scene is still clear. Check it out:
