20th Century Fox has released three new TV spots for Alien: Covenant with some new footage. The spots are titled: “Run,” “Hide,” and “Pray.”
Most prominently, we get our first look at the front of the Covenant ship, a close up of the Xenomorph during the shower scene, a new shot of a Neomorph which appears larger than we’ve previously seen, as well as some new shots of the Engineer Citadel.
The marketing campaign continues to kick into high gear with little more than a month until the film’s release.

Update #1 – Another spot called “Take Me Home” has been released. A tease of an important scene is flashed at the end showing…
A longer version of the spot was posted on the official Alien Anthology Instagram.
Tennesse spot.
Proud spot.
That brief shot of the xenomorph is the best one yet.
As for the juggernaut, it is the exact same type of ship as the derelict and the derelict is the exact same type of ship as the juggernaut. The end.
Honestly, you're overthinking very minor changes in overall design between movies made over 30 years apart. This is what it is and this is what it's likely going to stay. It's possible they may or may not change who is in the suit on LV-426 - I doubt that, honestly - but as to how the suit got that way, whether it's the same type of suit as Prometheus, same type of ship, that's not gonna change. Prometheus told people what it was about and hardcore fans on this forum have been pretending slight design tweaks to the look of the ship and the suit make them different ever since. It's not going to happen.
That being said, Ridley seems keen to change a lot of things starting with AC and I don't have full faith he won't change this soon enough.
Given the hostile nature of Acheron's climate, anything left in the open won't last long. Anyone who's parked a car un-garaged will tell you it turns to shit after a few years. Add LV-426 abrasive weather systems and anything will be degraded - even if it is tucked away inside the derelict.
The Space Jockey is no doubt a deceased Engineer - that's been established and anyone hoping it's some goofy elephantine ET is out of touch with the way the series is developing. Aas to how long it's actually been there, well, it may range from a few decades to a few millennia. The door is still open on the duration.
'ALIEN: Covenant' may have the answer to this question - or maybe the next film will...
-Windebieste.
We know this how?
They already handled this in Prometheus. The flight suit fuses with the user's body (in this case, a very large Engineer). After millions of years dead the result looks like we found in Alien.
May not be the explanation someone likes to hear, but it's very clearly what was given.
Internecivus raptus
Another name for the Alien. From the Quadrilogy iirc.
edit:
don't worry they still have the even way more difficult_bordering on the impossible task of explaining how the heck one of the two dwarfs, either shaw or david it doesn't matter managed to sit on a chair designed to three meters tall beings, reach the helmet zone in order to engage the systems and get wrapped in by the SJ suit, all along for then finally be able to taking off.
Note that all sorts of advanced technology DNA checks and what not that should be expected in such piece of unbelievable machinery the derelict-type ships are, built by a totally superior to us species have been left out of the equation, just for being merciful at them writers lol. Plus of course the "David is so smart that understands how the systems work by only looking at the engineer managing stuff", being given an "ok-ish" attitude, just for the LoLz.
The explanation they will have to come up with will be laughable, one way or another. Can't wait. Popcorn diet awaits
It's a common condition that affects most I. raptus variants prior to 1995: Imperfectum Figmentum.
a. Shaw could be dead
b. Shaw could have been a victim of Davids experiment
c. From one of the screenshots of the hologram, it looks like she's wearing a mask as her face has no details to be seen,
d. I think i saw an engineer's face slightly in one of the frames where he face should be,hense she could have been brutally mutilated.
Dallas just comments it looks fossilized , like it had grown out of the chair .
and in all honesty , he had no clue what he was talking about .
Spoiler
Hmm. Now this makes me think it would make a lot of sense if, as some have suggested, Shaw

looking up at possibly screen.. which means she is piloting the juggernaut.
I wish this was still around.
Do you have a link for the anchorpoint essay please? Or pm me. Thanks
Addressing the Shaw's singing in the latest TV spot, what if she deliberately re-programmed Juggernaut's controls activation to her voice?
As it has been revealed in the previous film, the Engineers - and David consequently - used to play a simple tune on the pipe to activate the console in the discovered ship. It won't be a far cry to presume that other Engineers' vessels also must have some sort of 'pass-tune' to gain control over them. And in the light of deteriorating Shaw and David relationship, she might have secured the Juggernaut's activation tune code to her voice solely, wishing to keep David away from wrecking even bigger havoc than he did on Paradise.
Well, this is a blind guess, I know
space jockey fossilization in derelict explained!
TIME TRAVEL ALERT!!
Nice one!
how about that?
Now we know what happened in the great beyond.
The hardest choice I would have to make if I was going on a mission like that isn't if I was taking a record player (that answer is yes), it is what records I would take with me.
It is the lander/dropship and it is likely a record owned by Faris and Tennessee. Playing while Faris hangs out aboard the ship waiting on the landing party, just in time for Karine and the infected character to return in poor condition. That's it. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and this movie is just this movie. It seems like people want to super-complicate it just because they don't like that the entire plot has basically already leaked months ago.
a good point made i must say. the dropship doesn't look that big, but we can be mistaken. obviously, it's bigger than we think as it has a medbay, which isnt particularly small, and there's a hallway/corridor where one of the guys runs away from the medbay. also, aboard, there is some cargo bay of sorts where she shoots at the neomorph and destroys the ship. there's also the cockpit itself, so it's bigger than we assume perhaps. it's not a star-trek shuttle size ship.
i must say that when looking at the hull door opening up and looking at it from outside, it looks much smaller again. it's confusing.
but even then, there's something to look into though. you notice clearly the wheat fields from the window, and the lake ,and some mountain ridge.
if we then look outside of the ship, where it then should be facing, we see no window like that at all.
matter of fact, if we look at both sides of the ship, one is visible on the ground, the other side is visible whilst going through the atmosphere,
and we see not a single window like that anywhere on the ship. also, i find it hard to believe where it would fit.
the ship is going through some rough rides entereing the atmosphere and then landing, so a vinyl album player working flawlessly is odd to start with.
also, it seems they disembark rather quickly after landing. who's quarters would it be, captains? where would the rest reside? but we also see everybody disembarking, so who would stay behind to play the record and overlook the area, and why?
i agree somethings off about it. whether it's continuity error already, or something else entirely, i don't know. it's odd either way.
Nothing wrong with cassettes if it is a good transfer with decent noise reduction and you have a quality tape deck.
You may be right, but I don't know... Hmm.
Because some people (like Faris) spend a lot of time on the ship/lander just chilling out and minding the controls while other people explore the planet's surface. Presumably this would be the same when they touched down on their colony world - a lot of downtime while the colony team does its work.
Why would a drop ship have a room like that?? With a record player.
