While fans may be clamoring for that previously unseen green-band trailer, it looks like we maybe getting a second red-band trailer later this week alongside Logan! As spotted by Trailer Track, two 2 minute and 30 seconds Alien: Covenant trailers have been sent out to American cinemas for release on the 3rd of March in front of Logan.
“It appears 20th Century Fox are about to unleash a full-length red band trailer for Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant this week – Deluxe Digital Cinema have sent what indeed appears to be the new trailer to North American cinemas for screenings Logan starting Thursday evening.”
We maybe getting a new Alien: Covenant trailer alongside Logan later this week.
The previous trailer was just shy of 2 minutes and 15 seconds. That’s 15 seconds longer that the Christmas trailer. It would also appear that two different versions of the trailer (green-band and red-band) have been sent out for distribution.
We have also seen unconfirmed rumblings that an Alien: Covenant trailer was supposed to have been aired during the Super Bowl but was pulled last minute due to music licensing issues.

I'm keeping my hopes up for this trailer. They've seen how the community reacted to the first one, and the style of the Last Supper clip was good so hopefully they'll adapt the trailer towards what people have commented about.
A more Prometheus-style trailer would be nice, however since they've said about copyrighted music I'm guessing it's more of a similar style to the first Covenant trailer.
That's cool.
That's exactly what I expect it to be. Just very small differences.
I've sorted those. Thanks for pointing them out.
The trailer will likely be online Wednesday/Thursday too.
Frankly I wouldn't pay it any mind. While we are a vocal community, you must remember that we are a rather small community when compared to the general movie-going audience. So even if there is nothing but negative feedback here and on the Weyland-Yutani Bulletin... it's still small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. I'm pretty sure that for every zealous fanboi that goes into cardiac arrest at the mere mention of the shower scene in the last trailer, there are at least two average movie-goers that got a kick out of seeing what appeared to be the classic Alien doing what the classic Alien does best (stalking and killing people).
TL;DR: Who cares whether other fans love or hate the trailer. The movie's success depends on whether the general audience eats the trailer up and wants more... not the fans who will see it no matter how much they say they hate it.
I want the Alien and Prometheus trailer theme, but a theme similar to the one from the first two Kong Skull Island trailers would be awesome.
Thank god I thought I was the only one around here.
I'm a glutton for footage. I admit that.
I'm sure there's going to be a lot of positive as well.
Most fans on this site are really looking forward to it and have enjoyed what they've seen and heard about it. The prologue was a big hit overall I believe.
I'm not going to watch the redband, but I'll watch the greenband for sure.
i don't know if somehow i'm the only one and it has something to do with my cookies or whatever,
but last 3 links to the forum i've been clicking from the articles on the homepage lead me to THE PREDATOR instead of COVENANT page.
I doubt the red and green band trailers are gonna be wholly different, rather different versions of the same trailer, bit like with Logan:

Anyway, looking forward to the trailers.
I may rely on advice from those who will have watched the trailer as to whether it gives too much away / is relatively safe to watch. I dunno, I'll have to see how I feel.
For those who are certain they are going to watch it - I keep my fingers crossed for you that its great/better than expected.
Theatres can play either with Logan but I guess they'll ask them to play the green band with the upcoming PG13 releases like Skull Island.
On IMAX - looks like it, yes! They announced it for the UK with the prologue last week - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi6qdjkz-Bo
Edit: Also, the Digital Deluxe Cinema pamphlet mentions a "No IMAX logo" version. Another hint at an IMAX release?
