As a comparison, do we know how much staff worked on Covenant?

About 300 IIRC

I'm guessing they probably built something similar to the Pirate Village they built on Cape Town Film Studio's backlot for the Black Sails TV series.



It's that artificial harbour and 17th century style town at the bottom middle of the picture. You can also see various full-sized galleons scattered about the place.





Raised by Wolves' "town" probably won't have a harbour but I guess it would have those primitive sheds maybe mixed in with parts of the colony ship. A common held idea of a colony ship was that once it reached it's destination it would be dismantled and used to create structures/habs on the new world. The fact that the set is situated out in a isolated spot among the mountains should also help to minimize the need for large blue/greenscreens making for a more authentic setting.

Did you count them all? ;D

I think you're right regarding minimising the need of using green screen. It's Earth-like planet. Not like red planet in The Marian where almost every scene regarding Mars was shoot inside the studio.

I'm intrigued about the look of ship interior and technology in general. I wonder what style they're going for this time.

Ha no, I'm not that hardcore.  :laugh:

I think they shot a reasonably fair amount of the Martian in the Wadi Rum as well. At least the rover scenes. The hab interior and exterior were definitely filmed inside a studio.

What fascinates me about Scott's sci-fi films is his juxtapositioning of advanced high-tech and primitive elements. In Blade Runner for example you had coolie-hat-wearing Asian peasants on bicycles trundling past futuristic-flying-police-cars while in Alien: Covenant you had the contrast between ancient engineer architecture/civilization set against the Engineer and human high-tech ships.


And from Ethan Hazzard's (the actor who plays "Hunter") instagram:

Very nice. Hoping they see fit to release some official production stills soon.

Corporal Hicks

Have they mentioned anything about worldwide distribution yet?

I read RAISED BY WOLVES has an official release: January 2020. I hope Ridley Scott directs an Epic soon

Seconded. I like these anachronisms of science fiction too; like the afrofuturistic city of Wakanda in Black Panther movie or Naboo's Theed city in The Phantom Menace. (Ok, these aren't exactly the best examples  :laugh:). But there you have that cool metting between ancient wolrd and the future. Blade Runner is like when the 50s/noir meet cyberpunk, and I love it.

Ingwar

Futuristic city, off-world colonies, flying cars, spaceships, androids, space monsters and .... non-flat TVs and monitors :)

If Scott directed Alien and Blade Runner today this things would have been changed for sure. It wasn't intentional. You cannot predict everything and you work with tools that are available at certain period of time. Who would have predicted flat screens? :)





Nonetheless I like juxtaposing in movies and books (love steam punk). That's why Dune is probably one of my favourite books.

Steam Punk is an amazing sub genre of fiction. I also like when you combine it with surrealism / fantasy (The Adventures of Baron Munchausen).

I'm waiting for teleportation :)

Immortan Jonesy

Yes, they went too far with that one  :laugh: (and maybe with Warp Drive aswell).

Or video game like Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. If you like steam punk genre read The Alchemy Wars trilogy by Ian Tregillis. Great read!

About predicting the future: Minority Report by Spielberg predicted our near future

Yet another shot of the water trailer with some filming happening in the background:

Not as far as I know. It might help to look at their previous TV series's to see how distribution were handled in those cases. I'm pretty sure it will eventually appear on all major TV channels worldwide as well as DVD/BD. It cost quite a bit to make so TNT will be keen to defray their expenses asap.
