Pietro Scalia Talks Editing Alien: Covenant

The Engineer holocaust is one of the best scenes in AC. It carries an aura of revenge but also of innocence being violated.

[Mr. Clemens]

It's also great to see Guy Pearce as a younger Weyland, it justifies the use of makeup to make him look older in Prometheus.

I hadn't thought about this, but you're absolutely right. It takes the Prometheus scenes from 'just get an old man!' to a sort of 'after-the-fact prescience'.

The bombardment scene does feel kind of out of place, I suppose - but it's still a beautiful scene

This was the scene that made me saddest that the film wasn't in 3D.
