LOS ANGELES, CA. (September 28, 2012) – Renowned director Ridley Scott takes fans on a gripping sci-fi adventure that “kicks ass so hard and often that it’s impossible not to be thrilled by it” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Launching into space to discover the mysterious creators of the human race, the “genuinely epic” (Tom Long, Detroit News) film, PROMETHEUS, debuts globally on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD October 9 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. An unmatched home entertainment experience, watch the highly-anticipated blockbuster hit in the format it was meant to be viewed, stunning 3D high-definition.

Archeologist couple Elizabeth Shaw (Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Marshall-Green) discover a star map that they interpret as an invitation from humanity’s forerunners, the “Engineers.” Determined to find out more about them, the couple boards the scientific vessel Prometheus, created and funded by Peter Weyland (Pearce), CEO of Weyland Corporation. Lead by mission director Meredith Vickers (Theron) and monitored by Weyland’s android David (Fassbender), the team of explorers find a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth and embark on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe where they fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

Maybe you’re tired of hearing about Prometheus, but the latest news on the release of Ridley Scott’s newest film has got to pique your curiosity about how good this Blu-ray release will be. The movie was quite beautiful in terms of effects and cinematography. But in terms of script, they blew it. Nevertheless, FOX’s latest revelation is the Prometheus Blu-ray editions will contain a whopping 7 hours of extra footage (hey, they gotta sell this thing somehow), which includes an alternate opening and ending, deleted and alternative scenes, access to “Peter Weyland’s Files” and commentaries. There’s also a Weyland Corp. Archive Second Screen iPad app that seems to be getting as much attention as the disc itself.
