Scott about Covenant. Nothing new but there are few interesting parts.

QuoteWhat we did really well on Prometheus, considering that it was a ground zero idea that was starting all over again, was I discovered that people do have an appetite for the alien and what he means and his evolution – the egg, the facehugger, the chestburster as we call them.

People still want to see it. So I return to a little bit of that but not wholeheartedly; there's a lot in here which is new as well.

You've got to assume to a certain extent success and from that you'd better be ready. You don't want a two-year gap. So I'll be ready to go again next year

Does that mean the next movie will come in about 3 years?

Hard to say. Scott wants to make western Wraiths of the Broken Land after Covenant or maybe he changed his mind.

Scott also has The Cartel (where his involvement was announced in July 2015) and The Prisoner (where his involvement was announced last January). So it could be that he does Wraiths (which he got attached to in May last year) this year, then gets into Covenant's sequel (Should Covenant be successful) while dropping out of one or both of the projects. Remember, he was also going to direct Blade Runner 2049 and The Color Of Lightening after Prometheus.

Also, the article in question mentions the sequel has already been written. So the big deciding factor is if Covenant is successful.

But I think it's safe to say we can expect Covenant 2 by May 2019/2020.

The script for the sequel is finished, so he could practically star filming the next one just at the end of this year.

I missed that!

QuoteWhile working on Alien: Covenant, he had the next instalment written so he is ready to keep advancing the saga.

"You've got to assume to a certain extent success and from that you'd better be ready," he says. "You don't want a two-year gap. So I'll be ready to go again next year."

Sounds like he's ready to keep the train rolling. I think that's worth another news post focused on that.

Exactly. It just depends on how Covneant does at the box office.

Personally, I think Covenant will do great at the box office.
Prometheus earned $403.4 million
Martian earned $630.2 million

Covenant will earn somewhere between 670 - 700 million.
Just my predictions.

Yeah, I've been saying for the last year or so that Covenant would do amazing numbers at the box office. $600 million at least.

Ridley Scott, Michael Fassbender x2, Xenomorphs ∞
and many other things together equal 700 millions at least. :laugh: ;) ;)

670-700? I wish but I doubt that :). Comparing Covenant to The Martian in terms of box office success is not quite convincing. Mars movie wasn't R-rated. I predict 500+ or close to 600 if we are lucky.

I've been wondering why they haven't been putting FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ALIEN AND THE MARTIAN in the advertising.

I think even casual movie goers know what Scott has done, so the "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF" credit isn't needed.

Also, any estimates on the budget? We know that it's less than Prometheus (which cost $120 Million-$130 Million).

It's a Marvel flick and they do very well at box office. I wish you are right with your prediction. I'm more sceptic about it.
