Alien: Covenant to begin reshoots at Leavesden Studios. According to Instagram posts (here and here) by makeup artist Tina Earnshaw (who also worked with Sir Ridley Scott on Prometheus and The Martian), Alien: Covenant is due to begin (or has already begun) reshoots at Leavesden Studios, the Warner Brothers owned location that also houses many of the Harry Potter sets:
“Ridley Scott reshoot for Alien covenant my makeup station all ready for the chaos!!!!
The fab Jana and Charlie at leavesden Studios setting up our stations for Ridley Scott reshoot for Alien Covenent those girls are sooooo glam”
Alien: Covenant to begin reshoots at Leavesden Studios.
This is common practice and likely nothing to worry about. These reshoots are likely to clear up any issues that have cropped up during editing and testing. Thanks to Alien vs. Predator Galaxy community member The Eighth Passenger for the news.

Ah well, roll on August next year!
FOX knows better. Look at the Fantastic Four trailer vs the movie. No chance they will ever release a trailer before reshoots again.
I'd buy that. I would love to see the proper sequence with Weyland and Shaw involved in the Fifeld mutation (and it in it's real form). That movie feels so slapped together in post that there is so much to work with. Add in takes we haven't seen even on the deleted scenes real and the confrontation between Shaw and the Engineer and there is a lot of interesting leftover bits to make a new version from.
PUNCH IT!
Drove past the studios today. A few cranes outside but nothing obvious, as you'd expect.
May try again tomorrow from a different entrance!
In order to make these movies attractive to us again, say, for me to purchase another copy of 'PROMETHEUS' - a movie that I half like and also half dislike - it's got to include some form of incentive. At this point, the BluRay copy I have is enough but if a new and different version of the movie comes out sometime next year then I'd probably buy it.
Do I think this is likely to happen? Of course I do! Each of the previous 'ALIEN' movies have had alternate editions released. I see 'PROMETHEUS' as no different in this regard. Sure, I know Scott said that he considered the theatrical release to be the definitive version but I don't think that his declaration will stand in the way of increased sales. Ultimately it's Twentieth Century Fox' call on that one.
So yes. I believe we will eventually see an alternate cut of 'PROMETHEUS'. As to what that content will be is another matter. Fox could re-release the movie with some deleted footage restored we've already seen and market the movie as 'PROMETHEUS - Extended Edition' or maybe they go full 'ALIEN 3' on us and release what amounts to a completely different movie from the theatrical release. I'd love to see that happen. Insta buy for me, that one.
-Windebieste.
I'm not saying they ruined the film, but I would really like to see the original cut someday, and I hope that Scott learned not to let Scalia do anything too drastic to Covenant; attuned filmgoers can sense when the editing has stretched coherency too far, and Prometheus was right at that edge. I'd like to see the original cut of Prometheus without the reshoots or restructuring, but I doubt that cut will ever be released. More likely an extended cut, or nothing at all. Crossing my fingers that Fox will announce a new Prometheus edition for next year...
Speaking of all that, does anyone think we will get to see those scenes from Prometheus we never got to see. Specifically, the scene where Fifield is attacking during Weyland and Shaw's trip to meet the Engineer?
And...IT'S GONE lol
Village called Chipperfield, near Kings Langley if you know it. About 6 miles from the studio.
Jump out before car stops, and drop and roll into the shrubbery a couple of scratches is worth it in the name of avpgalaxy.
Remember use a camouflage tactical outtfit like Hicks uses... and no gun just good high quality camera.
Just finished work, but I may drive by tomorrow on way to golf to see if there's much sign of activity.
Will report back if I see anything, however unlikely that is!
You guys are joking right.... Please say that you are.
Yeah, should be easy to fix in editing just by cutting away the more egregious scenes.
Story I heard from my secret sauce is that they have also hired Michael Bay because the studio wasn't happy with the quality of explosions and the slow pace of the film.
Get yourselves one of these and tell security at the gate you're flooring inspectors. Works like a charm every-time!

Good luck. Do you best ninja impressions.
I heard he brought JJ Abrams with him to help rebuild the plot structure to hit all the same beats as Alien.
Surely that would be done in editing and wouldn't require a reshoot or pickup shot.
On my way now!!
Where do you live HuDa??
Cant wait to hear who will compose the music.
Eliot would be perfect fit or Jóhannsson (but I think he is too busy).
Yeah. That was shot in January, after principle photography.
Just providing some back-up.
Odds are it's just pickups. Like SiL says, they're common. The Martian had additional footage shot as well.
Alien had pickup shots. Most studio productions do. They miss little things that screw with the edit to not have.
Worth a read for anyone worrying.
Peter Jackson is one of the most overrated directors in history of cinema
*grabs camera, gets in car*
Would love to be in a Testing group, they should have asked people from here to do it lol
I like you already... Welcome the family.
