A new Alien: Covenant location picture has now been posted, revealing a closer, clearer look at the set construction! After we revealed the first on location pictures of Alien: Covenant to the world, we continued to update the initial post with a few more long range images but nothing that was closer or clearer than the first pictures we shared. That has now changed!
New Alien: Covenant location picture has now been posted, revealing a closer, clearer look at the set construction.
This picture comes courtesy of reddit user nik282000 who also shared the following information: “I was in Milford Sound this past weekend and I managed to get a shot of “the ship” that was under construction. The place were I was staying was booked up with crew who had been setting up and bringing in material.”

A Spoiler? Or a deliberate way to stir things up among fans?
Either way: Awesome.

That's actually quite funny, gives new meaning to the term "All Blacks".
He should just have bluffed it out - start ordering people around and pretend like he's in charge.
Probably a civilian uniform with civilian insignia. Like Ripley's uniform.

Here's some more pictures from another tourist and a little comment:
"Stumbled onto the set for the new 'Aliens Covenant' movie here in Milford - they blew up something late last night too"
When asked if he saw Ridley Scott, he replied: "Only a girl in a lieutenants uniform sorry." Unless they're sticking a traditional ranking system, I'd guess he just means a military-style uniform.

"Was walking Milford Sound the other day and off the beaten path stumbled into the film set of Alien:Covenant. Fortunately I was wearing all black and fit right in with the production crew. Went unnoticed for about an hour, had a free coffee but was asked to leave eventually when they could see 'Ridley Scott stalker' in my eyes."
Corporal, make it so!

Thanks, Lars!
Yeah. I doesn't look like Vicker's Suite. I think this is a completely different thing.
It's clearly not the Prometheus lifeboat. Even with just that one section it looks nothing like it.

So, we ll have monumental forest and green and beautiful nature.... but dont forget:
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..." -----Milton!
Behind beauty lies Gigeresque architecture and facilities!
We know (100%) that only outdoor locations are on New Zealand (we shall have aerial scenes!
all other scenes will be shoot in Fox studio in Sydney!
We need one of those surfcam/webcam's installed at that location so we can monitor it 24/7.
Ben Rigby and Demian Bichir have posted pictures of Fiordland landscapes on Insta.
Alistair Johns (@Aligogs) (costume department) is also present.
Other pics (Nothing really news)

This at least makes it clear that the ship is not canted off to the side. The deck is clearly horizontal, so it's not sinking into the water.
Could most likely be a shuttle, the engines would be too small for a colony ship (unless they are supposed to be maneuvering thrusters) and it's sitting too low to the ground for it to be a large ship.
Can see some CO2 tanks as well so there will probably be lots of practical smoke & steam effects.
I think I just want to see a meld of all the lively green and the machinery life of Giger's biomechanical.
Well, from whose point of view? I'm sure a xenomorph's idea of Paradise is inside a host.
Semantics aside, I do agree that it being void of life would seem odd. But what if that's the point? I think if they went the AtMoM approach and had a place that was originally pastoral, until things went to pot, that'd be a cool way to go about it. Ruins in the jungle haunted by a sinister presence... or the city of the Old Ones haunted by evil Shoggoths. Good stuff. I mean, Antarctica was originally warmer and had plant life, didn't it? A similar approach with Covenant would be fun. Except, more the ruins-in-the-jungle approach. I'm down with that. Plus, certain Central American gods, like Quetzalcoatl, were steeped in the lore of life, death, and human sacrifice. It kind of fits with the alien lore, from a certain point of view. It certainly reminds me of Prometheus' approach to humans and myth, and I actually kind of liked that.

I can see one of the engines of the ship, so maybe it's a shuttle?
