An Amazon (via Collider) listing for the Evolution: From Alien to Prometheus box set has revealed the special features which will be contained on the Blu-ray disc for Prometheus when it goes on sale later this year. With no official announcement, it's worth noting that the content on the discs may end up differing slightly to what is listed below. Disappointingly, there are only a measly 15 minutes worth of deleted and extended scenes, leading one to wonder whether the future might see the release of a director's cut containing an awful lot more of unused footage.

When one side dispatches a team to a distant planet to terraform it for human colonization, the team discovers an indigenous race of bio-mechanoid killers. Ridley Scott, director of 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner,' returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
