"Ridley Scott turned down the opportunity to make a director&amp;#039;s cut of Prometheus. DVD and Blu-ray producer Charles de Lauzirika, who directed the epic 220-minute Making Of documentary The Furious Gods, confirmed to Digital Spy that Fox offered Scott the chance to re-cut the film for its home entertainment release.  &amp;quot;It was discussed quite a bit, the idea of an extended cut,&amp;quot; de Lauzirika said. &amp;quot;But the theatrical cut is Ridley&amp;#039;s director&amp;#039;s cut.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Fox very kindly offered him the opportunity to create a new cut of the film, and he said &amp;#039;No, this is my cut, and I&amp;#039;ll give you thirty-something minutes of deleted scenes on the side&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;It was that simple, there was really no debate and no argument.&amp;quot; De Lauzirika went on to discuss the making of The Furious Gods, which he began collecting footage for more than a year before shooting on Prometheus began. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very comprehensive and meaningful, and not just fluff,&amp;quot; he commented, promising a &amp;quot;candid&amp;quot; look at the film&amp;#039;s production.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve tried to be candid, to go into the problems and how they&amp;#039;re overcome, and the creative clashes and how those are resolved. I find that to be the most fascinating part of filmmaking.  &amp;quot;These are very talented, headstrong, passionate people, everyone having their own particular vision for the film, all having to serve Ridley&amp;#039;s vision.  &amp;quot;Fox didn&amp;#039;t have me cut anything out. I was expecting this thing to be gutted, not because it&amp;#039;s Fox or the material, but we do get into some honest topics. Right out of the gate, I think we have a very serious and candid documentary.&amp;quot; Prometheus is out now on Blu-ray 3D Collector&amp;#039;s Edition, Blu-ray and DVD.
