Thanks to the various Alien social media accounts we have a brand new picture of Ridley Scott & Michael Fassbender on the set of Alien: Covenant!
New Picture Of Ridley Scott & Michael Fassbender on the Set of Alien: Covenant!
Simply captioned “Creator. Creation. #AlienCovenant” this latest picture reveals nothing of the story. We can see Michael Fassbender in the background, sporting a brown haircut and a completely different hair style to the David 8 we saw in Prometheus. It is likely that this is the “doppelganger” that Ridley Scott said Fassbender would be portraying alongside the David 8 from Prometheus.
We get a first half-glimpse at Carmen Ejogo in what appears to be a white top perhaps suggesting a scientific or medical role amongst the crew? We can also see one of the new space costume helmets that Janty Yates spoke about back in December.
Sorry?
-Windebieste.
Where can I hear what he said about Blompkamp's film?
...and yes. Scott is a sly old Fox. He will mess with your head. Do you really think his statements about Blomkamp's 'ALIENS' movie should go unquestioned? Have a good about everything he's said about that movie and have a good think about his handling of 'ALIEN: Covenant'.
-Windebieste.
He did the same thing with the scene in which Kate Dickie/Ford inspects
Milburns mouth and then hammerpede bursts out.
Remember he did the same thing with the c-section scene where he filmed it secretly with just him and Rapace and didn't tell anyone not even the cast till way after filming was over.
but I very much expect to see something related to her in Covenant!!!
P.S. I do not expect to see that Daniels is somehow connected with Ripley!
Thats stupid narrative idea.
It's blurred because that's a pretty big room and the camera's focused on Ridley. Depth of field.
As you can, pretty clearly, see Carmen isnt blurred!
It's Carmen Ejogo.
Thats the only normal way of storytelling. Even if she is dead, there could
be some logs or digital (holographic recordings) of her that could serve as fine
plot element.
If they do not mention her at all, well thats a sign of serious
problem with Ridley and his team of writers!
Where ? WHERE ??
Thats for sure! But dont forget that this new series of movies (from Covenant) will not have main character;
Ridley said that his main character will be story itself!
Of course main characters aside from the story will be David, his twin brother
and Daniels.
We ll not get all the answers, and this movie will keep
all the mystery that previous ones very well set. We ll find out
who created Xenos, but the answer could be all the more mysterious and shocking!
Look in the background of that pic...the third person there looks like Noomi Rapace maybe that's why its blurred to keep her appearance a surprise.
He's dependent on Shaw to get somewhere he can repair himself and that won't be earth, Bishop in Alien said he could never become the same again..so David needs to go somewhere with superior technology, he just needs Shaw to get to a ship, after that probably to help him move around too?
They need a https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesba.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F01%2Fcart.png&hash=8feca9732a73d6285824e5f66fb2bf887e3604f3
for David to lie in while Shaw drives him around, lol
once they get to planet-Paradise, he'll give her errands to fetch stuff for him once they have found the main laboratory until he can create a new body, by then Shaw would have grown tired of it, so she splits n goes all Tombraider looking for temples n shit

Poor poor David, all alone now, nobody to watch a re-run of Lawrence of Arabia with...so he makes a phone-call back to earth "hey gais, want to watch a great movie? I got loads of chips! and btw, I found this planet with humanoids that created us for some reason, m'kay?"

That can prob only mean they need to be different somehow so not to be confusing, so David new body confirmed!?
The new helmet harkens back much closer to Moebius' more geometric original design.

Shout out to Uncanny Valley peep!
I think the only real source for that kind of info is from the advertising stuff. The DVD mentioned it being SOP to send David 8s out with crews too. I don't think anything in the movie really alludes to anything specific either way.
Oh, certainly; The David8 commercial says it all. "What is it about robots that makes them so robotic?" but changing all that is... David!
Human Fassbender confirmed, prove me wrong
Isn't David 8 supposed to be the first model android to be used the way we are used to seeing them be used throughout the series?
Because that's how I was taking it. Curious if anybody else was also seeing it this way.
I really like Moebius' work as well. Blade Runner is another good example of a film that was very heavily inspired by Moebius even though he didn't work on it.
Yeah, there's some definite links to Aliens in that Spaihts' script. You've got the whole terraforming angle being the main motivation for the trip and there's a slight kind of nod in that the pyramids are acting as atmospheric processors, kind of evoking that design of the AP from Aliens too. To be honest, how much of that was Spaihts or Ridley, I don't know.
I have no issue with this. We saw it with Prometheus too - Scott is going back to old designs from Alien that he didn't get to use. Here's hoping for a proper egg silo.
When Weyland dies, presumably David is no longer "owned" by his primary user Weyland. Whether or not that means David is then even more/less of a loose cannon who knows.
His gesture towards Shaw (seemingly helpful) to find a spare ship - thats the first time we see David without Weyland's influence, right?
He's Good David. Goody-little-two-shoes. The other David is Bad David.
Unless their timelines are different Im guessing the original David 8 will take a very special interest in the new David 8.
Beat me to it!
I really like it... it's got Alien's ruggedness and Prometheus's sleekness combined.

His personality was based on T. E. Lawrence
Great, Scott, great.
That, or Weyland removed certain safeguards that would normally be in place to allow David 8 to be more flexible in carrying out Weyland's orders.
Or, David was underestimated by his own creators, being more intelligent and self-aware than anyone anticipated. After all, Weyland said David lacked a soul, but if his behavior was his own, wasn't programed, perhaps Weyland was wrong about David.
The cool thing about Prometheus is that it's never explained, or explicitly stated in the film, and any of these explanations is possible, given David's enigmatic and duplicitous nature. Beneath that comely and calm visage lurked a cunning menace.

The A-2s always were a bit twitchy.

We ll most probably get hints of an entity above Engineers, and Engineers are just advanced humans (no more no less!!!) trying to play gods. What will happen if their creation or creation of their creation (David) try to do the same!
What happened to them (Engineers), probably will struck humans. I belive that we already seen "Devil" (bad guy) in this story (Engineers, humans and David). Weyland said that humans are the gods now, they are the titan Prometheus (Satan or Lucifer). Now its the time to see who is God? And the hints regarding this entry will be very interesting and not what we expect. We will not see complete anwers to all the questions! I have reliable confirmation about that.
Who is evil guy in this story. I belive that the answer would be humans!
Who made Covenant and with whom?
