I though "David" was going to be another prometheus follow up on top of the "untitled prequel"

but

"A retelling of the biblical story of David versus Goliath."

imagine him making two more alien movies at the same time :lol:

someone made a Prometheus cut that seems really close to what I'd consider perfect. there was another edit I really liked, but it had unfinished vfx. this latest thing - "chaos edition" - has a bunch of vfx corrections as well as all the restored scenes I care about. it does not seem to fix the "guys getting lost for no reason" thing, but I'm ok with that.

folder with link to download "chaos edition"

site describing chaos editions (I don't have a good link for the covenant file)

relevant text from that site (since it barely loaded for me):
Prometheus (Chaos Edition) includes:
[*]Added the Elder Engineers speaking to the Sacrificial Engineer. (Deleted Scene with Finished VFX by Jimmy)
[*]Added the close up of the Accelerant on the Engineer’s brain. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Reworked title screen. (Addition)
[*]Added Weyland’s TED Talk. (Marketing Viral with Finished VFX by Jimmy)
[*]Added Shaw’s transmission to Weyland on his Mars facility. (Marketing Viral with Finished VFX by Jimmy)
[*]Added extended scenes of David watching Lawrence of Arabia. (Deleted scene with new footage made by Jimmy)
[*]Added Janek’s Christmas talk with Vickers – I color corrected this scene. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Millburn says “My fingers are still numb” before introducing himself to Fifield. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Added “Our First Alien” – Millburn finds a flatworm-like creature in the muddy floor of the Pyramid. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Added David smiling at the Accelerant atop a vase in the Head Room. (Deleted Scene Shown in Trailers)
[*]Added “A woman in Africa told me how the world came to be” Post silica storm team briefing – I color corrected this scene. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Added Millburn and Fifield finding the shed skin from.. something. (Deleted Scene with Finished VFX by Jimmy)
[*]I placed an audio easter egg that plays throughout the scene where David infects Holloway. (Addition)
[*]Added the extended dialogue after Holloway sees something in his eye – I color corrected this scene. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Added ”I know you can hear me, you tin can! Now report!” Back and forth dialogue between Vickers and David before she kills Holloway – I color corrected this scene. (Deleted Scene with Finished VFX by Jimmy)
[*]Added ”Because you killed a man today” Janek talking to Vickers after she killed Holloway – I color corrected this scene. (Deleted Scene with Finished SFX and VFX by Jimmy)
[*]Added CGI Xenomorph Fifield’s Attack on the Prometheus hangar. (Alternate Scene with SFX finished by Jimmy)
[*]Added Shaw crying and praying at the mirror after finding out Weyland was on the Prometheus. (Deleted Scene Shown in Trailers)
[*]Added ”A king has his reign” Extended back and forth dialogue between Vickers and Weyland – I color corrected the hell out of this scene. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Added “And Gods never die” dialogue where, Weyland and co. wake The Last Engineer. (Deleted Scene)
[*]Added Shaw vs. Engineer vs. Trilobite. (Deleted Scene with Fixed Continuity Errors and Finished VFX by Jimmy)
Post Credits Includes:
David 8 Viral ad. (Marketing Viral)
Meeting the Prometheus crew and Earth’s message to space. (Bonus Features Scene)

some recent reddit people say this link will work, i just get stupid "are you a robot" screens and then I give up

edit: I got nuts and opened that link in the "Edge" browser and it redirected me to a page to download a plugin for koala backgrounds!!!

I could eventually get the movie to stream in the player (quality is good), and there's a "three dots" menu/button in the player that has a download option... but I couldn't get the download to work. that was in edge...

OK, trying aggressively in chrome, the "three dots" button will me attempt a download... but it doesn't even list a file type (seems like a big red flag) - so I'm chickening out

try it on yer burner laptop? 🤷

you can probably just stream it - it's wild in that it doesn't even let you skip around :?

EDIT: your post reminded me to actually download the prometheus edit - it worked fine (via google drive) and it looks perfect at first glance!

I watched the "chaos edition" of Prometheus and it's basically perfect

but I realized something while looking for stuff I'd tweak: it would be so easy to "fix" the insane typos that made it into the script simply by briefly muting the audio:
CO2 becomes CO
thirty six hours becomes six hours

those things don't actually bother me, but they're still kind of embarrassing & would be worth scrubbing
