Scott: We are going to make another Alien movie

At best, the prequels are average, i.e., given ratings and revenues. Given that, it's obvious another movie will have to be much better.

I think it will take some time for the prequels to be fully appreciated for what they are, much like Alien 3's popularity, which was pretty low at the time of release, but has risen to cult status over time.

I agree. One of the things that will help it will be Fassbender's dual role as Walter and David.

That was an excellent read. I wouldn't be surprised if Fassbender gets nominated by the Academy, at least.

[BishopShouldGo]

That's simply not going to happen.

Yeah, I know, the dual role thing.

[BishopShouldGo]

Not because of that lol.

There were just many male performances this year that were superior than David and Walter. And if Fassbender didn't even get nominated for his superior Prometheus-David 8 performance...

What male performances this year do you think were more superior?

Yeah if Fassbender was going to get awards it would've been for Prometheus.

His performance was much more central to Covenant (therefore better) than Prometheus. If he were to get nominated for the David character, it would for Covenant.

If the "When you close your eyes, do you dream of me?" line doesn't cash in an Oscar nomination, you can pretty much assume the game's rigged, although we already knew that beforehand.

[Biomechanoid]

Fassbender is no stranger to Oscar nominations and he was nominated and / or won multiple Best Actor / Best Supporting Actor awards from other award organizations for Prometheus, so it wouldn't be a shocker if his Covenant performance was at least considered by those who place nominations for the Oscars.

This is not that kind of conversation.

lol wut? Central = better? That's not how life works.

[SM]

I thought there was much more subtlety and ambiguity in his Prometheus performance. 

[Biomechanoid]

This is not that kind of conversation.

Quite the opposite, it's very much related to Fassbender's Covenant performance in comparison to other actor's performances. But it seems you prefer not to elaborate, so question withdrawn to you.

However, the question is still open to others who might feel a little more cooperative to tackle this very much related question.
