Thought we'd get the thread going now so we have a place to catch it all!
The Alien: Covenant Collector's Edition, Comic Book Exclusive has been released today (general release in June). Will Robbie from the WY Bulletin was kind enough to send me over this snap of a spread inside.

I think it should be Collector's Edition instead of Collections Edition. Am I right? :)

Corrected. Thanks.
Here's some storyboards that someone (Eighth Passenger, I think) shared previously. From a competition.

Hopefully we'll see some stuff from Wayne, Dane, Steven Messing & Co after the US theatrical release. Although sometimes permission to release concept art is only given after the DVD/BD release. The release of the art book might also be a factor. We'll see.

Apparently it has been published in France today, I will try and see it.
Actually I had enjoyed more the concept art and the creative process than Prometheus as a movie.

Also, please no sharing fan art in this thread. Official imagery only. Thanks.

From Twitter.
General release isn't for a few weeks. Looks like the brick-and-mortar exclusive editions came out in advanced. I managed to snag an earlier copy and cancel my standard retail order. I've taken a bunch of photos of the interesting stills. Will be going through them to upload shortly.

Ahhh ok that makes sense, annoying that both were pushed back for everyone too. I ordered both too.
Is the front cover of the collector book still that one on the Amazon website? I assumed it was temporary art as it just looks like a stock photo from the late 90s/ early 2000's. Love the cover of the 'Making Of' artbook though.

What a waste of talent. It was blatently obvious they'd be using the old concept art for the deacon in prometheus, which is EXACTLY what the neomorph is in Covenant. It's amazing art nonetheless, but ofcourse they'd go for the more covert and compact approach with the spores and neomorph.

Love the egg scene by Carlos. That's realy fcked up... :laugh:
Lot's of body horror. The neomorphs are not that good comparred to the Prometheus ones he drew, so I fully understand why they used the old concept art. Some of them look like ACM's Dinosaur head aliens from the bug hunt section of the game.
The flower that completely morphs a man is epic... That should have been in the movie if you ask me.

They are "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion" by Francis Bacon. It's from 1944. Giger might have been inspired by it while designing Alien elements.

Ah Giger's artwork or inspired artwork features in Weyland's white room, in the paintings.
They are "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion" by Francis Bacon. It's from 1944. Giger might have been inspired by it while designing Alien elements.
Ahhhh I never knew that, always thought it was his original design, just had a look and compared his and the original!

I really salute the artists and their hard work and gorgeous contribution to that project. Great stuff, but sadly, nothing of that feel remains in the film. It´s just a CG fest with underdeveloped creature characters.
Just imagine what a great asset the Neomorph could have become. Maybe even infected again with the goo and mutate to something more sinister.
Whole movie just washes all these well done concepts down. Sad waste!

No they weren't...most of the practical effects in the 2011 The Thing got covered up in CGI. The Griggs thing. The Edvard-Adam splitface thing. The Juliette thing. The arm that attacks Jonas's face. If you look at ADI's work on those monsters, they all look quite different on film because they were replaced digitally.
On the other hand, Prometheus had a plethora of practical effects that I've seen people think were CGI.

There could be a proper explanation to why CGIs were used in the movie instead of real actors wearing exquisite alien suits, which is a simple one as well: because there are too much actions in the movie and it would be difficult to find a guy wearing an alien suit to do all those stuff adequately, if not elegantly.

"A shameless re-jigging of a Giger original. This was done when early on in the production we thought we'd be legally allowed to reference the master directly. Legal stepped in and informed us otherwise. Hope you guys don't mind a drip feed of this stuff."
FYI, this art piece has nudity.

Honestly, this is baffling. You can certainly make the case that a few tweaks were needed to hide seams and in the case of the Xeno suit, make the lower torso not look like pants. But beyond tweaks, it makes no sense why they decided to THING 2011 this stuff. The light play with the Xeno suit on the set is marvelous. The wrinkled and withered look of the Neo makes me actually think it's not a crap design. Wow. How much did it cost to CG over this stuff?

But the reason for the CGI might be James Cameron getting in Ridley's ear. Anybody remember that interview from last year where he said "if I made the Alien Queen today Id make a full scale working prop so that the fx team could see how it worked in the light and then I'd get them to recreate it using CGI" hahahaa WTF!!!! That's utterly ridiculous but he said it! What a waste!
Here's the quote from Collider:
I'll admit there are times where I don't even fully understand his obsession with CGI, like when he talks about how he thinks he could do the Alien Queen better with modern CGI:
"If I could do the Alien Queen today with the techniques we used on AVATAR, she'd be spectacular. She'd be much more dynamic. Now, where I would struggle is to make her as texturally real. But that's all doable now. ... On the new AVATAR films, I'm actually going to shoot more real-world stuff. It may only be there as an example from which we then generate CG, or we may actually integrate some of those photographic elements. But I want more photography. ... Like, if I was doing the Alien Queen, I would want photography to show the exact way that the slime drools off the curl of a lip and caught the light in a certain type of very low-key lighting. I would want to see that so that I can talk to the CG artist and say, 'All right. Do that.' ... It always usually boils down to the lighting and the conception of the shot."

Also Big Chap has like 4 minutes of total screen time in the whole film. Add the rest of what you said and it makes the creature barely even visible until he falls out of the airlock, and the suit looked goofy during that sequence.
That said, I'm not really a fan of the design for the alien in AC. That rig a few posts up is pretty sweet looking though.

This makes me so unbelievably angry. The neomorph I get with the way it moved, but you could have had a mix of CGI and practical. The xeno suit is beautiful. Seeing him run and jump...yeah that has to be CGI, but the close ups or sneaking around a corridor, that suit would have been boss. The talent and efforts spent on these practical effects plus the cost to CGI them over is just dumbfounded. Could have saved a bit more on the production budget leaving less to recoup on that not so great opening weeekend

About the new Xenomorph.
It's a shit design I have to admit. There are things I like about it, The head & the hands but that's about it.
I think even alien resurrection executed their creature effects way better.

So true. It is actually looking like a Xenomorph would look like in Pirates of the Caribbean. It´s a zombie version of an ALIEN. The head is still ok and cool, not much invented with just putting some bones there, but ok. But the rest of the body is actually human muscle anatomy on a skeleton. WTF?! Anyway, not an ALIEN in my eyes and not an ALIEN movie as well.

I really like the design. How anyone could compare this majestic Alien to the turd in alien resurrection is beyond me. ???

If this truly is just a "missing link" that comes before the full Giger creature in Alien (as one of the crew stated), then I really like it. If it's meant to be it, finished, reimagined or whatever then it's on a par with the ADI efforts with their Pumpkinhead influences.

Suits look nice. A step up from what we've seen in the past films, but still pales in comparison to Big Chap or even the Warrior Aliens. Would have been great if they could have kept more practical stuff in, but considering how well lit a lot of the scenes were, on top of the cost to build a full sized animatronic, they probably just decided to CG it all.

People can we have someone who is satisfied with anything of Alien Covenant, or we going to cry more that there is more CGI than practical effects until the next Alien movie lol, I don't know how everyone has become professional critics all of sudden it defies logic and common sense.

Big Chap is legend.
I think he deserves an upgrade; let's call him 'Big Champ'.
Big Chap is still, the most terrifying thing, even after all that has passed and made.

Maybe legal reasons were responsible for the art direction not being "gigerish" enough, including the Big Chap. As Dane Hallet mentioned.

I really don't get the fascination with turning the alien into a bipedal goblin shark.
Also, as far as the practical suits go, I didn't mind the CGI for the most part, but the practical xenomorph suit does look pretty good. The neomorph, though... the practical suit just looks like really rough, unfinished latex. The wrinkly texture is off putting to me, too.

I didnt mind it so much in the film, but the bts pics really show the design in detail. I dont like how it looks like a literal human skeleton with some tendons left on. The head looks okay but the body looks like it crawled out of a grave . I like it better than the AR, AvP, and avpr designs though. It pales in comparison to the alien designs from the first 3 films,

No problem. :)
I haven't read it yet because I wanted to read the novelization first. I did read a part that talks about the Oram chestburster and how they knew the incubation process was going to be fast. So it seems like that was done intentionally for a reason. I'll let you know more once I start digging into it deeper.

I really think the design was adjusted in Post-Production because the xeno in the movie looks different
To their detriment. The practicals all look better, even the Neo which I generally dislike. The practical suit is far superior. The CGI version, on the Neo, is almost texture less and smooth. This, to me gives it an badly rendered game look.

The art book is a thing of beauty! Even better than the one for Prometheus. I really like the practical xeno suit, and the practical neo looked pretty freaky.
I love that they included some of David's drawings. Shame there's no concepts for Shaw, though.

Bit of a Böcklin feel to this one. And very epic scale.
Would also love to see the work of the guys who worked on the earlier drafts. Some of Huante's stuff seems to stem from earlier versions of the script.

Look at the way they've rigging up this particular suit.
https://www.facebook.com/StanWinstonSchool/photos/a.132306723471670.10590.130940650274944/1387129211322742/?type=3&theater
This was the radically advanced puppeteering rig they couldn't get the bugs worked out for in time, which I asked Conor O'Sullivan about on camera, for my Alien Day report.
They only had a certain number of weeks to not only design, but construct and test it. It wasn't enough. There were a small number of flaws they just didn't have tihe time to fix.
I'm guessing that all the shots we've seen of the Alien with these ultra-thin limbs were actually of this unused puppeteering rig, rather than whatever it was they went with. Can't say I'm a fan, given how thin those limbs look, but it apparently moved amazingly.

When I saw the movie, I felt disappointed with all the CGI (expecially the xenos) and such little focus on the creatures and "birthing" scenes. Seeing all those wonderful practical suits and creature effects makes me feel somehow sorry for the audience and think "all of this could have looked so much more real - thus better...".

This is amazing. I'm curious, should I buy the one you posted here, or should I do this one?: https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Covenant-Official-Collectors-Titan/dp/1785861921/ref=pd_sim_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1785861921&pd_rd_r=5J9QJWGSKFGV5YEF8YHS&pd_rd_w=w8RWt&pd_rd_wg=LDpPq&psc=1&refRID=5J9QJWGSKFGV5YEF8YHS
Is there any significant difference between the two? I mean, I'll probably end up getting both eventually; but I'm still curious as to why they released two different behind-the-scenes books.

I'm a big making-of book collector and I highly recommend the Covenant art book (even if you didn't like the film). It's still a real shame the suits where never used, even minimally like for for close ups :\ cuz they looks so damn good.

That hard surface design stuff from Jeremey is freaking bad ASS!! Love it! True industrial design craftsmanship.
Great sculpting by Gabriel as well, but I simply can´t except this to be a chestburster. Anyway, great job done by the artists.

Those concept matte paintings have a very Lord of the Rings/Isengard feel.
The pulse rifles were likely just place holders Jeremy put in the ammo locker. Was probably someone else's job to design the weapons and if those 3D models weren't available yet then he would have just grabbed something off the internet instead of wasting time modelling stuff from scratch.

Concept Art inspired by Giger?

Giger's version is one of the many paintings out there inspired by the original Arnold Böcklin painting of the 1800s. I think Giger's came out in the 70s?
Also I still wish they had based that scene more on his painting's aesthetic rather then the original one. Alas.

Apparently Dane Hallet said that they weren't allowed to base anything on Giger's non-Alien related work for legal reasons.
Böcklin's work of course wasn't an issue since it's all in the public domain now.

Btw...
Does anyone else has ever seen this design of the cathedral?
The structure seems to show some kind of religious symbolism. At the gates you can see two female figures with a very biblical look. Also, there are two other human figures on the Wall. I'm getting a very Ancient Greek vibe.
Maybe it's not too late for the Space Jesús! (jk) :laugh:

QuoteNah, it was just Fox being nervous about treading on HR's toes. It's definitively his style and if the work got too close, it might have agitated HR's estate. Everything was cleared, ultimately.

A robot would have perfect photographic memory, though. And no emotions, so no desire to make pretty pictures. It's almost like David did is just to behave like a creepy serial killer, not because it makes any kind of sense.

It's almost as if David was specifically created to emulate "humans" to a degree (and to surpass them in many ways), and was given emotions, amongst which was a love of art..

lol this film begins as a sequel to Prometheus, then in an unexpected twist it turns into a Lord of the Rings flick, to finally become an Alien movie :laugh:
I mean what the hell? even when a hooded David was leading the crew at the woods toward the citadel, It was like seeing Legolas and the Fellowship of the Ring in a Middle-earth adventure.

Its close, the shot I'm reffering to is facing the right backside of the costume in the same pose. My partner and i saw while flipping through the book in barnes and noble and thought it was a bit odd.

I love what could've been done to Shaw. I wish they's kept her alive just long enough so we could witness the horror of David making her the first Queen.

It's obvious that it was meant to give actors something to act against and for motion capture.
That's why it's not a "film grade" suit.
Otherwise it would have just been a tennis ball on a stick.

Because its lazy. It showd just how little care went into the suit. The only thing that isn't "film grade" is that mile wide seam. It honestly seems like it would be more of a pain in the ass to digitally paint over it.
I just feel like they could have done more work in camera, like yeah digital painting and 3dprinting props is the rage right now, but i can't help but feel that this suit could have benefitted from being ran in silicone and all the possibilities that change would afford.

Quote1x Alien Covenant Egg room floor dressing. It was one of the "roots" from the face hugger eggs. They can be seen in the image of the Egg Room. It's approx 55cm/22" x 40cm/16" in size.

Beautiful artwork all around, I cannot fault it. However, I am disappointed with the Engineers' world. While the concept art and the movie show some kind of classical Roman architecture, with the Engineers being all statuesque and gorgeous, which is all very beautiful, it has nothing to do with the creepy biomechanic spaceship / juggernaut from the first film, and I think Ridley Scott really missed an opportunity to show us something mindblowing if he had stuck with H.R.Giger's biomechanical concept. A video I saw on youtube pointed this out, that the juggernaut's pilot was meant to have grown out of the chair, as though that's what he was grown to do, to do that job and nothing else. The spaceship itself was all bones, and organ-like etc. I wish they would have shown a whole city or world like that.

If the series ever gets a reboot, I'd love for this *exact* design to be used. Basically the alien with no dome, pronounced, boney skull and empty eye sockets....nightmare fuel.

His aliens look very real, and very nice VFX work. He knows he will not be allowed to direct Alien5 movie, hopefully he will include whatever he intended for Alien5 in his stream of short films.

I'd like to see Blomkamp have the balls to introduce dark, homo erotic horror like Scott did, and not just pander to a fanbase that are never satisfied. We're not up to the original, biomechanical beast either so they can interpret and play with the species design wise and cgi wise as they see fit at this point. This was David's film.

Nice trailer and I wish him all the best with his endeavor. But biggest problem I had with his ALIEN V pitch was to undo ALIEN3 (don´t care about Resurrection). It was only Weaver who wanted to make dollars with another reprise of Ripley. If it would have been a genuine idea with totally fresh characters and a take on the story from new perspective, I would have loved to see it. Was just no a total brewed idea.

Really enjoying the artwork, fellas! Both artists' work hearkens back to Giger's; Matt's "Shaw" creeped me out when I saw it on-screen, validating the movie as Alien territory for me.

Some texture work on the motherjugger from Steve Burg, based on original model from Steve Messing - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nlDd4
Quote from: Steve BurgYou know how when you work on things, you kind of "live there"? With this, I was imagining all the things that might have been going on inside this giant craft - which I guess is sort of the "Coast Guard" for the planet. Since it's nowhere to be seen later on, and the Juggernaut is crashed miles away, there must have been quite a "dust-up" after David dropped the black goo! :)

All the Engineer city designs are great stuff for the cosmic odyssey movie Ridley never actually made - in the actual film they're just tombs abandoned.
Design is (and was in-film) spectacular as always, especially the Mobius/Foss-esque colonist wardrobe.

QuoteBack to traditional today. I HAD to reference something from the original Alien, so I drew the weeping egg. I always loved the fact that they weeped and it's something that often gets overlooked. This one hung from the ceiling of the lab with it's very special counterpart - but I'll explain that one another time...

QuoteThese were the first (finalists of) variations/versions of the floating organic lights. I wanted a slight ambiguity in the forms where like the proto-facehugger designs, it's a bit murky whether they're animal vegetable or mineral. Which mirrors Giger's bio/mechanical mix. They were a lot of fun. Pencil, charcoal and Photoshop.

QuoteBecause we were wallpapering the sets with artwork and had a lot less than David's ten years to do it, the mighty Dane Hallett and I had to get creative and 'Frankenstein' work we'd already done into 'new' art, like this. Dane actually did the original trilobite (no no, the regular kind) art. These are my Giger-ed up variations. Thank God for Photoshop and printing onto delicate Japanese paper stocks! 😄 Charcoal, Photoshop.

Quote'Corpse lillies' - but of course they'd have 'em! About the first thing I asked on the first day was that while I totally get the aesthetic of the city referencing great civilisations/ancient cultures (and obviously goes hand in hand with the Engineers looking like classical statues), I wanted to know why/how the shift happened to the Giger/biomechanical look. I never did get an answer so I invented one for my backstory/inserted it into my/David's scientific notes, here as it applies to flora and fauna studies. From the right hand side: "It also occurs to me to investigate the possibility that the seemingly divergent shift from previously monolithic and simple forms of classic Engineer architecture to the post-industrial aesthetic especially apparent in their interplanetary vehicles and spacesuits are actually the result of a congruent return to even older and natural forms. Possibly the result of both an aesthetic epiphany and the technological means to achieve it. Culminating in a relatively sudden shift combining anthropomorphism, zoomorphism, and phylotomorphic traits. Not to mention the vascularity inherent in mechanically or technologically based branching systems and architectural structures, so that an all-encompassing type of 'bio-mechanical' view emerged."

QuoteMore Engineer rough ideas/studies/dissections/vivisection etc. including an initial 'rebreathing' torture idea that lead to the proto facehugger drawing (which people took SO literally! 😄). Anyway, pencil, charcoal, ink, Photoshop.

QuoteDetail of early version of the foetus piece. As I was saying in the beauchene one, David is exploring on his way to creating the 'perfect' xeno. And after extending the brainpan laterally (it only needs to turn its head to widen the scan), the dome might form a long sensory array or use different bandwidths for its vision. I thought it might be cool and logical if the xeno 'sees' thermally like a snake. So beyond the obvious dragon metaphors and beasts being afraid of fire, that a flamethrower will temporarily blind it. So both things are true. As shown here with radiating waves and so on. I know fans are astoundingly literal these days (and to be fair the way the films have gone does encourage that) but it doesn't matter if no-one notices - the backstory I make is primarily to lend a consistency in approach. Which is different to the drawings contradicting each other intentionally. I wanted to continue David's unreliable narrator idea into the work. Are these actually his works or his unhinged thoughts? Anyway like I say it leads to imagery that might not have happened otherwise. I hope. 😝. Pencil on Japanese paper.

QuoteRough for an engineer study. Since David devastated the Engineer world the lights and tech have been turned off, and besides as we know he has the romantic/egocentric notion of working in a 'classical' style. So using more naturally occurring tools, spartan implements and generally old fashioned methods. I thought one of these would be to use the particularly aggressive local flora and fauna to his advantage. Here procuring local worms/leeches to clean the corpse/devout the viscera as seen in the earlier skull drawing. Maybe submerged in a giant plant/bath. Pencil, Charcoal, Photoshop

QuoteI thought David would investigate congenital and extreme abnormalities maybe in pursuit of finding more elastic/hardy qualities for the xeno (although that skull middle bottom is a normal baby skull - those critters are weird!). For instance looking at existing conditions like hydrocephalus in babies/foetuses in terms of rapid structural growth/expansion maybe to allow for a bigger brainpan for example or an 'ideal' shape etc. Also as in the old days using the beauchene process where the skull was filled with rice and then saturated so it swelled and split the bone along the natural faultlines. Attributed to the French but may have actually come from Leonardo. Of course the inference is that it the Gigerish horror could have happened in a very unnatural way... Sorry dunno where the proper scan is right now! Pencil, nibs/Indian ink, watercolour.

QuoteWas taking pics for reference purposes and the milky translucency of the dome here, but really pleased I got the dude picking his nose...

QuoteHere's a pretty straight forward study of a malformed, Giger'esque fetus. I do like it, but it's made even more special by the fact that awesome film maker and friend, Dominic Hailstone took this sketch as inspiration for a model he sculpted for the table in Davids Lab. If I had all my gear with me I'd share a picture of it, but trust me - its better than the drawing.

QuoteOriginally, water was to be running down some sections of the walls in Davids living quarters Through one 'waterfall' we would see a 'polished obsidian mirror', in which David could be seen (naked from memory) brushing his teeth. This was to reveal the 'repair' seam around his neck, implying that Shaw had reattached his severed head. This was before it was decided that the prologue would cover that beat and as such, it was cut.

QuoteMy friend is close with an FX guy from Scott Free. Here's a candid Neomorph Prop used in Alien Covenant.
QuoteAt the last minute, Ridley asked for a few more 'Mutilated Shaw' drawings from both Matt and I. In the interest of speed I did these digital paintings as quick concepts (hence the absence of Noomi Rapace's likeness). In the end RS (rightfully, so) went with Matts versions but I figured you guys might enjoy them, as I had enjoyed drawing them. Thanks everyone!

Sorry, but I don't think this is from Alien: Covenant.
It's from a fan film called BIOTIC (which states it is inspired by Covenant).

The birth of the protomorph along with the generally shoddy CG in Covenant utterly destroyed any future interest in covenant and the alien franchise for me. Abysmal in every way. ::)

QuoteIn the second part of our look at modern production design, KFTV talks to Chris Seagers about his experiences building sets for Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror Alien: Covenant.
Scott's sci-fi follow-up pitches a crew of space travellers against the iconic xenomorph monster that the director first introduced to audiences back in 1979.
Production was based at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney, where Seagers and his team built an immense set of the Covenant – the movie's main spacecraft setting.
"We spent a couple of months at the RSA (Ridley Scott Associates) offices in London brainstorming the design of the ship and how to put it together," Seagers tells KFTV of the genesis of the Covenant spacecraft as the crew's home.
"Ridley was very ambitious with his ideas and it turned out we didn't have the budget to realise everything he wanted, but he thinks on his feet and is very much up for figuring out how to make it all work – he loves ingenuity."

Did David have facial hair when he first found the crew?
I know his hair was long but I can't find a good pic of his face.

Too bad Ridley didn't get enough budget to include these ideas.
I hope the cocoon scene happens in the next film. They went as far as previz so it's a good bet that it will.

Too bad, they didn't use the biomechanical (and original) version of the Xenomorph design.
The crews in their helmets walking through the Engineer city looks truly amazing. Too bad, they switched suits&helmets to caps, cargo pants and hiking bags!

The Alien pissing/shitting something all over its victim would have been a bit... Yeah...
Two or three other things would have been interesting to have seen on screen, though. The multi-limbed creature's head, I really like and would have given the 'space wasp' evolutionary link much more relevance.

I'm definitely getting a heavily The Thing and Dead Space influenced vibe from these new pics. I love both franchises so very much and would've loved to see these ugly beasties adapted to screen. I do prefer that new Neomorph render to the one we actually got. The way it's jaw extends is a lot more terrifying.
I think it was a bad desicion (on whoever's part) to give us the Alien so soon. That reveal should be kept for the last half of the final film, however many films down the road that would've been. They should've just concentrated on David, the Goo, and his attempts at creation - Pushing us closer to ALIEN.
As much as I love Covenant, I think it would've stood a better chance not having the release date pushed up so much. The post production could've maybe breathed a bit more.

Yeah.... i'm happy with the designs we got onscreen.
Love the movie-neomorph especially. Very much like Huante's original concept creature.. but streamlined a bit.

horrible design. :-X
Given the storyline they are aiming at... David hitting the biomech aesthetic right out of the gate would seem to be a bit.. premature?
I like the more fleshy, insectoid Xeno we got.
Biomech stuff will come back in the 3rd prequel... if it ever gets made.

Yeah, I don't really like that Neomorph design either. Overall I prefer what we got onscreen. However, I wish the Xeno was less insectoid and more elegant. I'm fine with it being organic, as long as it isn't too slimy.

It seems like a trend with these prequels that there is all this great "clearly better options" in the concept art. Again, Ridley Scott forgot to make the monsters do something interesting. It was the problem with the Engineers and the monsters in Covenant. A goblin shark jaw just isn't enough. The designers had great ideas and none of them were used. I dont want to blame Scott for this but whether its Scott or the studio, someone needs to get dick slapped.
If the next film doesnt include Green Screen Giger sets they will have really just missed the damn mark, at this point.

I gotta ask, the "Gollum Morph" can we call it a Gollum Morph? The third picture in the bottom set; just what is that in it's mouth exactly? Love the design of the first two xeno's; very Pacific rim, heavy kaiju feel there. Maybe a little bit of Godzilla 1998.

QuoteAnother one I loved doing, anatomy of a Neomorph split open for a profile view.
This one is pretty special to me because Adam Johansen (Creature HOD) took the illustration as an inspiration to sculpt and create an utterly incredible piece that sat in the lab, far more resolved and beautiful than I could've conceived. Probably the coolest thing in that space. Sorry for the love in, but... Damn, it was awesome!

When I participated in the December test screening, when David smuggles the embryos on the Covenant, they originally looked like this rather than mini facehuggers.

Whoever decided the cocoon material idea should be cut was a complete idiot. I think fans are waiting for things like that only not to get it every time there is a new movie. Something visually disturbing that doesn't have to be gore.
man....the day we get a great alien movie is the day they a new franchise of something else.

I was leaning towards the "it would've been unintentionally funny" angle...
and then i remembered that there's a moment in
It Follows where the lead character glimpses the "creature" forcing itself upon the corpse of a friend.
And it's horrifying and uncomfortable...
There's also a similarly uncomfortable scene in Possession (starring Sam Neill).
Bottom line - The effectiveness of the "cocoon" idea depends on the writing, filmmaking, etc...
But i actually think it could be used "well"... there IS precedent.
I wouldnt trust Ridley with it, though.
Maybe David Robert Mitchell.

This is the ONLY shot i can get from the madam tussauds video, and imo it looks way better than the practical suit. Its a shame that odd creatures didn't get the finalized design

There is some interesting, some good, some disappointing and some intriguing work here. My question is: Why isn't Ridley commissioning any practical (read: in clay) design work? The realism is never as strong in real-world pieces because it's not usually painted or lit etc, but more often than not, the design work is stronger. These recent movies have been suffering somewhat in terms of strong design when compared to the original.

The idea of the Alien jizzing the cocoon stuff on people is a bit much, I reckon xD
And wtf was this?!

We need those pre-Covenant scripts!
Links are dead. Any chance you could repost those images?
Always the egg morphing idea.

David's lab alongside with his way of writing is having a Renaissance vibe that is in tune with the David statue of the opening scene and the hole Greek-Roman esthetic of the town and the physique of the engineers.
Interesting ideas for a space opera but it doesn't really work for an Alien movie.
It doesn't convey any menacing emotional response and has nothing to do with Giger's designs.

Of course not, but this esthetic doesn't really works. It is a nice idea but classical art evokes other feelings than mystery, horror and uneasiness. There is also no relationship between the 1979 darelict and this hole Greek-Roman thing.
The movie is a mess not only script wise but also visually.
At least in Alien 3, and Alien 4 there was a visual cohesiveness.

Rather annoyed that most of the practical effects are replaced by CGI, however it looks like the practical effects were limited, textures animatronics pulse bladders to convey convinving realism, its as though the practical creature suits were simply a stand in to be fixed by CGI afterwards. ???

From the shot at 3:13 (my favorite shot of the alien in this movie) it would appear the film had a different color-gradation. I like this blue-ish tone, it looks quite like Prometheus. I love it!

We've seen this one in the past but I don't think we've seen it in good quality.
QuoteOur Hallet dummy for the mouthburster scene. Very old school effect, loads of fun. We pushed a Neomorph baby puppet out of the Hallet dummy mouth with litres of slime and blood for the birthing. A stunt, contortionist was to be used for the scene as well however Ridley was so impressed with actor Nathaniel Dean @nathaniel__dean it wasn't necessary. All shot on location in Milford Sound NZ.

Some comments from Dane Hallett about this creation -
QuoteI have fond memories of the legendary Dominic Hailstone whittling away at this digital sculpt right behind me as I sketched my ass off. He was earnestly making sure that the 'Pil Bug' would collapse and expand without the legs getting in the way (as it would naturally). They shot the scene in which it features and now I can't even find it a shot of it on the Blu ray. Such is, the nature of the beast I suppose. Awesome work regardless (as usual).

Amazing practical effect. Reminds me of City of the Living Dead, the infamous gut puking scene.
Also, an albino alien was originally going to appear in Aliens, was it not?

Yep! As a "drone" that tended to the hive. NECA recently did a take on the concept.

QuoteHuh. I think I totally forgot to post this with the other Shaw drawings all that time ago (the ones in the "WARNING" Container)! Basically I took two Shaw 'Immaculate Heart" religious/blasphemous studies to completion. In the end I chose the profile version posted previously. While I like the Florentine drapery here with the allusion to Mary's hood/headdress and it's more straight-up like the religious portraits with her heart exposed, in the end I liked the fishbowl helmet doing double duty as a halo and the engineer's spine in place of her own on the profile. And rebreathing stuff. So, y'know, that went in the film! I'd hoped people would get the religious analogy but hey... 😄 Pencil, charcoal, Photoshop

QuoteIt wasn't just adults that David 'explored'. Here's a study of an Engineer child. The inference is, what did he do to get the musculature and then skeleton study? Yeesh! Now I think of it that idea would be clearer if I flipped everything so the progression went left to right. Oh well... Pencil, charcoal, Photoshop.

This image, too big to post, just wows me.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/alien-covenant-concept-art-5.jpg
It appears to be Covenant crew members on what I guess is a road leading from the forest to the city.
Would be quite impressive to see the city for the first time, coming over the horizon, in daylight.
Can't wait for the Paradise Lost script to leak.

You think they'd have learned from the abomination that was the Newborn! Stop trying to make new creatures! The existing alien is creepy enough, and there are plenty of exciting or weird things to explore within the existing canon without the deus ex crap-ina that is the black goo. Take for instance eggmorphing. The ecosystem of the hive itself. Some of the comics were very clever in this regard (Genocide, Labyrinth, Rogue). Only Rogue really had to create super-aliens, and even then, it was more interesting that the hot mess that was Prometheus (and the inconsistent Covenant).
You could even explore royal jelly and the Queen Mother, if you thought they were worth examining, without having to add in all this guff about alabaster statue-gods who taught primitive man everything but now hate him and proto-Goth androids who quote Romantic poetry while randomly and wantonly destroying everything in their wake.

And maybe eventually we'll get that gem that's out there, waiting...stirring fitfully in its leathery-shaped object...ready to leap out into our imaginations and scare the Lambert out of us! 8)

Brilliant! I'd be hoping that Levallois' would post more stuff! I'll get the gallery updated shortly. Thanks label.
I believe we've seen those storyboards before but didn't know who the artist one.

Quote20th Century Fox and the YouTube Space LA partnered to bring a piece of the Alien: Covenant world from the big screen to real life! "David's Lab" from the film was reconstructed using the actual props seen on camera! In further collaboration, Pixologic and the Moving Picture Company (MPC) teamed up to bring you a podcast with our host Solomon Blair and special guest Leandre Lagrange.
Leandre is currently a concept artist with MPC, but has much experience in traditional, digital, and visual effects on many films. This list includes Prometheus, Guardians of the Galaxy, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales, 2019's The Lion King , and the list goes on and on!
Solomon and Leandre sit down for a chat on this incredible set to discuss works on Alien: Covenant, pop culture, ZBrush, and more!

QuoteI had the pleasure to be part of the MPC assets team working on Alien Covenant. I did most of the modelling on the Neomorph baby and toddler versions. I've also did a good pat of the Neomorph adult , refining anatomy and proportions and some details. Also did a bit of concepting refinements on different parts of the Neomorphs and Xenomorph at the request of the director and most of the facial shapes on all the aliens.
It was great being part of the team and I'd like to thank my friends and great team that worked on Alien Covenant : great Zen Master Dan Zelcs, Damien Guimoneau, Federico Scarbini, Henning Sanden, William Bell, leading with Solène Chan-Lam and Sean MIlls. (it was a much bigger team so sorry to the ones I've left out)

The xeno-spider appeared earlier in digital drawing form, don't remember who did but I think the name was French and female.
The second one with the tail is described in David's drawings.
I guess they were both made when the Paradise draft was still on the table.

Well, that's you. A Purist on the Webb. But this movie was made for a wide audience, as all major franchise movies are, and suit effects simply don't cut it anymore with the general audience.

General audience probably doesn't care how the effect is achieved as long as it looks good. I'm the same. While I appreciate the work that goes into both and have a soft spot for the practical, ultimately as long as the end result is good I really don't mind practical or digital.

Practical effects, as much as the some prefer them over CGI, seems to be struggling to keep a foothold in the industry. A good example is the The Thing 2011. I read an article on it where ADI took on a major project providing all the practical effects. The studio showed the film to a test audience and their main issue was the effects looked fake or unsatisfying. So the studio replaced most of it with CGI. Hindsight, that didn't save that film from poor box office and negative reviews, but this example does endorse your point that the wider audience no longer finds practical effects satisfying.

In that film's case, maybe the special effects were just shot poorly.
That film had a very inexperienced director.
Nobody seems to complain much about the practical effects in Del Toro films.

Wow! I seriously hope not! but not because his art is bad (actually is pretty cool) but because it would be a real shame, if this was officially scrapped from the final product :( (some of the designs are better than what we have in the final film, and the whole thing looks more like Prometheus 2)

I keep wondering about the guidelines behind all those designs.
And the unused scripts. I guess every design had to be in the story at some point.

I loved so much at all!
I made some shot extensions by DMP and some 3D generalist solutions: Walls, Grounds, Gates, Mountains, bloody mess... etc.
I also worked on the early phase of Engineer city buildings and ground ( close and far distance too )
Thank you for the great adventure to the Montreal: env, Alien Team!

Not sure if he worked on the film or not. Trying to find out.
The entire website is now down. I've got it all backed up though and will be posting this on the frontage and gallery after Christmas. I've confirmed with another artist who worked on Covenant back in 2014 than Khang did work in the art department. I've still had no response from Khang himself. :'(

These are/were really cool. I like the city especially, much closer to what was in my head.
I don't mind the idea of the Engineers becoming the Alien. It's quite a smart way to transition from a universe with Engineers into the universe we know with Aliens.

Seems like it wouldve made a much more interesting and DARK movie!!! I was hoping for this nightmarish hell world based on Gigers influence in the design of Prometheus! The "Paradise" we got was so cliche to me... instead of biomechanical designs, we got ancient rome/greek influenced design work.
I get the feeling the original ideas for "Paradise" were very dark and the studio didnt like the idea of something so macabre and gothic... so it started interfering with the ideas and pushed production toward what we got in the final product.
Maybe one day the beans will be spilled and the early scripts will be leaked/released so we can find out how much of a turn the film took.

Some of the concept is dark and beautiful - definitely gothic akin to Giger. This is what I imagined of the world David and Shaw would find once they reached 'Paradise'.
It would be great to know what were factors that led to toning it down to what we saw in Covenant.
I hope some of this work could be re-worked and used for Awakening if it ever gets shot.

Wow! This is just beyond cool. It would have been really wild to have seen this stuff on film. Really great blend, dark and gothic yet beautifully organic. The street full of Aliens is really creepy. Are those transforming engineers I see? I'd love to see what this guy could do on a "thing" movie.
"I don't mind the idea of the Engineers becoming the Alien. It's quite a smart way to transition from a universe with Engineers into the universe we know with Aliens"
Sounds right. Perhaps due to infertility or disease their species was dying, and they chose forced evolution to survive. They left to various systems and planets first, in order to increase their chances of successful colonization once evolved. It went south though, and the cure became the disease. They became beasts, and lie in wait to fulfill their new purpose. Perhaps that's what happened to the waterfall engineer in Prometheus. In effort to save himself and/or his species, he unknowingly created us.

Wow, what could have been. I feel like that's what the franchise has devolved to at this point. A "what could have been, but never going to happen franchise." Fans have held out for so long for just one of these movies to get it right and they come so close only to have the rug ripped out from under them. So who do we blame?
I think most of it falls on fox as a studio. They've let this franchise get to where it is. I wonder if scott was "forced" to re edit covenant to be the mish mash of ideas that it became.
I think fox took the negative fan reaction of Prometheus to assume that we have to have the Black xenomorph. But that's not the case, the problem with Prometheus was it didn't make any damn sense and that it was pitched as Alien prequel with out aliens except a snake, a jellyfish, an angry bald dude and a 1 second glimpse of what everyone came to see.
They didn't need to kill off all the engineers offscreen and force the xenomorph life cycle into a film it was obviously not intended for. Had they went ahead and made this fans would have been thrilled.
It looks unique, it has creatures, it has horror, and had it answered some of the lingering questions from Prometheus it probably would have been a hit and retroactively made Prometheus a serviceable film in its own right.
I blame fox for not wanting to take a chance. Wanting to play it safe and getting the dud that we did. Unfortunately it's the fans that have to pay the price, fox are laughing all the way to the bank no thanks to disny.

Seems originally we were in for a real treat.
I'm thinking David uses the goo to destroy Engineers.
And surviving Engineers who were out of reach, use their special version of the goo to become Deacons in order to destroy David and cleanse their planet.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/disease-02_orig.jpg)
It's the negative version of the creation ritual at the beginning of Prometheus. Creating death/destruction in the form of Deacon.
Fits in with the mural in the ampule room, where there was supposed to be another sacrifical cup instead of the green crystal.

Not darker or anything, just a little coat of Giger paint over the buildings.

Changes in the script aside, concept art doesn't have to take the budget into account.
Originally Alien included a temple but it was merged with the Derelict to save money.
If you look at the concept art for Prometheus, you'll notice how everything besides the humans and their vehicles, are a lot bigger than what we got.
It's just a lot more expensive to create such sets. There's the green screen/cgi route (not sure if it's cheaper or not) but it never looks as good as real set.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but they used the Bond stage at Pinewood studios to build the sets for Prometheus, which is the largest studio in the world, and they still didn't have enough room for the sets.

I meant that it was financially and practically possible, everything but the humans would've been bigger.
The Engineers would've been the size of the Jockey and the environment would've been adapted to their size.

Technicians and artists are not required to be in scale with the sets they are working on. If you're going to judge it by that, then model makers who build entire cities, by your logic the makers must be 100 foot tall giants.

I know they used child actors, that's precisely the point. The real life scale was not big enough so they needed to put kids in spacesuits for the wide shots. The closeup shot that I posted used the adult actors and the scale is much smaller.
Kids in spacesuits:

Remember they used child actors in ALIEN to add extra scaleQuote from: Gash on Dec 29, 2017, 04:25:35 AMOn screen canon scale cannot be judged by behind the scenes on set photos. Technicians and artists are not required to be in scale with the sets they are working on. If you're going to judge it by that, then model makers who build entire cities, by your logic the makers must be 100 foot tall giants.
and any shots of set shots of Giger working on the Jockey show that it was already pretty huge..
What? Where is that my logic? There a set photos that show the true scale of the Jockey as Giger is working on it. It's big. They chose to use child actors to make it look yet bigger - that is the point. I'm not saying the Derelict is only ten feet big because the model is ten feet big - I'm fully aware of scale models and forced perspective and every other trick in the film making book.
They wanted the Jockey to look as big as possible, by making it big and then using child actors to make it look twice as big again. The crew member standing next to the suited Engineer might look child sized compared to him, but he'd have to actually be a child for the scales to come close to matching ALIEN.
Close up views of Skerrit and Cartwright don't reveal much in terms of scale. And as Crazy Shrimps pictures above show, the original Jockey could cradle Giger (Scott, Van Lint, anyone) like a baby. I'm not critical of Prometheus, it's a different, less ancient ship so any explanation could cover why there are differences, but there's the facts.

Giger was not a tall guy though, here he is standing next to Ridley Scott, who is about 5' 8'', according to IMDB:

Quote from: Gash on Dec 29, 2017, 04:50:09 AMI understand all that. I'm just saying you can't judge on screen canon scale by behind the scene images. Look how tiny Giger looks right next to the space jockey....off screen. Dallas was at a much larger scale than that when standing right next to it.....on screen.
What?
Off screen scale can be misleading.

The same height of Ian Whyte, maybe?

I think you're clutching at straws now.
Giger was not a midget, and there are shots of plenty of other crew members standing around the jockey or making plaster molds of it's sections that show the scale is considerably bigger than the engineer suits.
In Prometheus they are put on pedestals and shot from low angles to create the same illusion, but the very fact that the Engineer that gets suited into the Jockey seat is small compared to the original shows what a wide gulf there was even when trying to tie the two together.
The difference doesn't bother me, there are plenty of plausible reasons why the the original Jockey is larger, he may have been black goo infected and merged and grown with his suit for one.

Space Jockey can be any size if it remains static like that.
In Prometheus with a lot of movements, Ridley went with the most practical size.

It's not about the Jockey/Engineer size in Alien and Prometheus.
It's about the size of things in the concept art compared to what we saw in the movie.
Point being there are less limitations when it comes to creating concept art, compared to actually putting things into practice.

It might make sense, after all it's weird that the Derelict (a spaceship, supposedly, designed to transport giants beings) has some small interiors.

That last image I can't imagine the space jockey "giant" making his way through that small corridor, but we don't know what the function of that corridor is. We could physically manage to travel through our building vents, though quite uncomfortably, but it's not the normal route we use to travel through buildings. Is that a transport corridor or a utility corridor?

There's no source that they are the same size, that I'm aware of. And since they're both supposed to be different ships, they could be different sized chairs. Why would you assume it's the same size?

I'm getting confused mate. You're saying the Jockey in Prometheus only looks smaller because the chair is bigger. The chair has been made to accommodate an actor this time - who looks smaller than the Jockey in ALIEN because even though he was a big man he's about two thirds the size. But if anything they would have chosen to make the chair smaller to emphasise the actor's size.
I'd assume the chairs are the same size because they represent the same thing and as far as I can tell they are the same size - literally the only scale that is different is the Jockey himself.
You side-by-side images highlight that more than the casual moviegoer is going to notice, if they don't revisit ALIEN as slavishly as the rest of us do.
Scott's reasoning was almost certainly that it evokes the same thing without his being lumbered with the more elaborate route of making the Engineers 15 feet tall. Nothing wrong with that in my view, but I think that's the way it was approached.

Of course, if the Jockey was never intended to leave his chair as was the general idea back when Giger painted, sculpted, and put the thing together... Then it wouldn't need to be moving around inside the ship at all.

Yeah the city stuff looks awesome. Alien, advanced, and Gigeresque. Way better than what we got in Covenant, which I felt just looked a bit bland and unimpressive. Would much have preferred to see something unique like that instead, but I guess part of the reason for the change might well have been the shift from Paradise Lost to Covenant.

The thing I'm now wondering is if this film could still technically be made? How would it be written to take place after Covenant? Unless Org. 6 turned out to be another engineer world, or David knows of other engineer installations and chose to go there and do this? The colonists on board covenant would allow some humans to still be included in the story. They'd be caught between mutating engineers, military engineers, and an insane David wreaking havoc on an entire city or world.
I see that picture of David staring at the small pods on the table and can't help but be reminded of the seed-pod scene from "the thing from another world". It's so similar it's freaky. Maybe the urns and black goo are an old and outdated weapon. Maybe current engineers would have something far more powerful that David could use to wipe out earth, and he's fighting to get to it. Maybe the derelict from Alien 79 could've been some impregnated engineer escaping as the city falls in this film, only to die and crash on lv-426. Either way, it may take some serious writing-fu, but it would be wonderful if something like this artwork was done for the final film.

Certainly a possibility considering the rest of the ship had not been explored. Perhaps other remains might have been found if their exploration wasn't cut short due to the attack on Kane. Bio-engineering seems to be their specialty, not far fetched to assume they tried bio-engineer experiments on themselves.

Theory:
Those parasites that spawn from the Engineers look like a type of facehugger.
So Engineer + black goo = parasite(s).
Maybe David was trying to produce them without needing goo and a host. And the movie would end with him creating the facehugger eggs.

I thought Alien Covenant was a visually beautiful film. The protomorph xeno looked better than ever! It was definitely entertaining and a decent alien flick. I just wasn't a fan of David creating the xeno. I know in the book he copied a recipe or something along those lines. I think I just have trouble with the origin of the xeno as a byproduct of an Android or another alien race. I'd prefer it being a an Ancient horror from the darkest regions of space. Not some recent creation.

The other night I watched Prometheus again (last time I watched it was right before going to see Covenant), and holy moly: that movie just has so much more passion and excitement for the material. It's practically oozing with pure enthusiasm. Coming back to Covenant after seeing that again, Covenant kind of feels like some sort of freeze-dried (just add water!) Instant Alien Movie. I still like it, but compared to Prometheus, it feels kind of phoned-in to me.

Well, the artistic style is fantastic. The psychedelic music and the surreal setting brings a truly alien atmosphere to the film. Definitely worth watching. And although the plot is simple, there are interesting things related to the culture of the civilizations that inhabit the bizarre planet: from the strange way of feeding and meditation of the "Draags" (a Zen style civilization of giant blue humanoids) to the hypnotic sexual rituals of the "Oms" (humans brought from Earth, some of them are considered pets while others roam loose like wild animals).
Now back to the plot, the overal story is about a human pet who escapes into the wilderness with headphones that transmit knowledge. A technological device that becomes the key to forge a new and equal relationship between the Oms and the Draags.
So basically similar to a "Native American vs European" scenario. It's actually reminds me of the historic episode (during the colonization and conquest of South America, in Chile) about Lautaro, an araucanian militar lider who after being slave and servant of the Spaniards managed to escape and return to his people. Lautaro learned the military ways and skills of the Spaniards' army by observation, and he proceeded to educate his people with this knowledge to fight them back.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/El_joven_Lautaro_-_P._Subercaseaux.PNG/1280px-El_joven_Lautaro_-_P._Subercaseaux.PNG)
Even the myth of Prometheus seems like an archetype of this story, with this heroic figure stealing a powerful artifact in order to benefit the human race.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Heinrich_fueger_1817_prometheus_brings_fire_to_mankind.jpg)
There also seems to be an ecological-environmental message, showing how the humans are being treated in the same cruel manner with which they themselves treat animals on Earth. Maybe even a message of peace and freedom as a reaction to the communist dictatorship (the greater part of the production team was Czechoslovakian).

That is disgutsing, i love it.
Honestly thought, in that scene, should have not the mouth burster like destroy the host mouth or something? i found odd the thing coming out from such a small place.
The art in the movie is great, but i feel like it was glossed over in the actual movie, it was always moving forward and we did not get to see well all the stuff, just an observation i am not complaining.

I liked the idea that the Jockey was just a creature specifically bred/created for the purposes of navigating. And there's other specifically engineered creatures in other areas of the ship doing other tasks or etc.
Carlos Huante had a similar thought
Quote"A little drawing I'm doing on my phone ..based on Giger's space jockey. Not the film.. i feel strongly that the guy in the chair should have existed as part of the chair only.. never should've been separated. The ship should've been a living thing that was totally Alien to us. If there was a crew they should've been a different being than the one in the chair.. like the time travelers in Dune were separate beings so the pilot in Alien should've been as well"

The second one looks so good IMO. I'm still conflicted on the final head design of the Neo, the movie really striped the detail from the head. It is creepy but I do wonder how would the other designs look on screen.

I like it. Something about their pale white faceless heads is quite creepy and disturbing.

Yeah, I dig that second one too. Some of the alternate designs have been genuinely interesting. I liked the final design (it is really creepy) but I think some of the various ones explored in concept would have been more interesting.

Knowing Scott, if he makes another movie, we will almost certainly see some of the unused concepts and creatures from Covenant. I'm mostly interested in the creature or suit that was said to be built but unfinished and they're keeping it a secret for further use. I don't remember where I read that, it was only mentioned once, maybe when Xenomorphine (or some other regular from AvP Galaxy) interviewed Odd Studios?
The concept artists and creature effects company have really outdone themselves, especially when we know how fast they had to do everything.

I think that mystery is better left alone. The implications are enough, and probably more horrifying. And that's probably the point.

I meant in the way that there were aliens and facehuggers attacking engineers with queen nods sprinkled in. It led me to believe that the engineers would have some sort of history with the aliens. Maybe even some screen time together in the film. Obviously david creates the alien after the engineers are long dead.
I enjoyed AC for the most part and it wasnt a huge deal. But the poster had my imagination going in a different direction.

According to the sculptor it's a homage to Giger's Li, as for David perhaps it is the perfection of his dreams. Giger was said to have suffered from nightmares right? That's where he found artistic inspiration. Only androids don't sleep. So David must dream with his eyes open.

Well, it's a good homage then. Either way, it looks really creepy.
Yeah, I like the angle that David's nightmares/dreams are the inspiration for all the horrible creations. But I never thought does he sleep or not. That takes daydreaming to a whole new level.

QuoteI was a part of Conor O'Sullivan's core team from Creatures Inc working on Ridley Scott's alien follow-on from Prometheus. Based at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia, I worked alongside talented crew members from the UK and Australia, including Odd Studio. I was the primary silicone technician for the Creature Department as well as sculpting, moulding and painting other creature work for the film. I was also involved in prosthetic makeup application for the Engineer sequences both on location in Sydney and in London at Leavesden Studios.

http://www.suzibattersby.com/work/item/alien_covenantQuoteI was a part of Conor O'Sullivan's core team from Creatures Inc working on Ridley Scott's alien follow-on from Prometheus. Based at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia, I worked alongside talented crew members from the UK and Australia, including Odd Studio. I was the primary silicone technician for the Creature Department as well as sculpting, moulding and painting other creature work for the film. I was also involved in prosthetic makeup application for the Engineer sequences both on location in Sydney and in London at Leavesden Studios.

Engineer sequences. That's plural.
And that Engineer looks a lot like one in Khang Le's concept art.

And I wonder what the bombing scene was like initially, since the final version of the scene is almost definitely a lot shorter than it was initially.

Ok the others were disturbing but this one is just...come on my man, how much of Giger's work could you have drawn from, Victory I II and III at least. I know this was probably just spitballing, I mean at least I hope it was.
Imagine Daniels flipping through all these deformed creatures and hitting on Shaw getting the end of a cold dildo in an S&M outfit and that's when she asked David "What did you do to her" "Exactly what I'm about to do to you!"

Hm, isnt he kinda confirming here that the general order is to move away from Gigers art and not towards it?
Not sure if that also (indirectly) confirms that the current look of the Alien is not just a development phase but a simple (final) design choice.

That is pretty bad and tasteless. It is way worse what Hicks and Newt got. Getting raped to death by a space dildo seems like the biggest "f**k You" you can give to a character. Wonder what Noomi Rapace would have thought of that (lawsuit?).
The movie surely was missing Gigerish design, but this is just too much. I wonder if they toned down on the Giger stuff after artists went overboard with designs that would have never been approved for the film.

The nudity is not gratuitous or exploitative, though. The point of that scene was to show how the mechanised form of reproduction replaces the covenant of marital union, by transposing the usual method of penetration. This is not about conservative morality like Friday the 13th, where young people get punished for having pre-marital sex or engaging in other illicit behaviour. They are a married couple fulfilling their duty to 'be fruitful and multiply' (Genesis 9:7).

Raw, early, and fairly rough, renders of the Engineer City's overall layout. From an insider at 20th Century Fox.

The Engineer City is approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) wide. The only things that seem to be missing are the amount of buildings around the City's center, and the Heads carved into the mountains.

Don't know if anyone has posted this, but this was an interview from the Canadian website Derivative, that focuses on the UI of Alien Covenant, and how it was fairly fully functional, at least it had function. They developed a new system to make everything work the way Ridley liked, and sheepishly called it "Mother"

Ridley Scott on set of Alien Covenant
QuoteAll the 120+ screens you see in Alien Covenant were simultaneously driven on-set by Soma CG's application MOTHER, made entirely in TouchDesigner. This enabled Director Ridley Scott to craft and adapt the timing, sequencing, effects and look of the screen graphics while setting up each shot with the actors, art director and cinematographer. MOTHER was even put to uses that were not originally intended. This is what happens when TouchDesigner is used on-set, on-stage or (virtually) in-orbit. Boris Morris Bagattini (aka Chris Wilson) lays it out here.
Quote"MOTHER" (interface below) was the remarkable (and very beautiful) TouchDesigner application designed for the task by Wilson. The application is based on replicated TouchDesigner Components, each having its own interface with all relevant settings for that screen. Further to the director's brief, the system feeding each screen needed to be able to:
- Composite and control up to 8 layers of screen graphics videos, HUD (heads-up display) overlays and live camera feeds.
- Apply and control several effects to different layers on each screen and adjust to the director's requests.
- Drive precisely-cued playback from producer calls through to then end of the shoot.
- Quickly wrap around screens as per the director's instruction.
- Quickly load and play newly requested content as it was provided.
- Enable the team to rapidly develop director-requested features, and distribute back to the screens.
- Save out entire scenes so they could be recalled and used on request.
- Color and level-adjust all or individual screens independently.

QuoteDerivative: Chris the design brief was daunting and the functionality required extensive! How did you go about building this system?
Chris Wilson: I received a call from Martin Crouch of PXL a motion design studio based in Sydney. He had been engaged to lead the Screen Graphics Department and was looking at options to fulfil the requirements of the software and hardware brief for Alien Covenant. Ridley Scott was unhappy with the level of control he was getting from existing systems he had used on previous productions and had a long wish list of functionality he wanted that wasn't currently offered. Martin had experimented with TouchDesigner on a few smaller productions, and had seen what was possible. Knowing the number of feeds required and the level of control needed, it was Martin's idea that TouchDesigner was going to be the best platform to handle all of the on set playback requirements.
The first obstacle was how to structure the entire system. I began by thinking about each screen as a stack of layers, each layer either being a piece of footage, a live video feed or custom .tox component and that the UI would be simply a method to make choices, provide feedback, but ultimately all processing would be handled by the slave nodes out on the set. I had built an initial sketch in TouchDesigner and then started to focus on the daunting hardware that would be involved. Martin Crouch had already amassed a collection of bare LCD screens of various sizes and types, and was working with a Japanese partner on sourcing driver boards. These would ultimately be assembled by Martin and also Steven Paul, our on-set hardware technician. We initially had a lot of problems with EM (electro-magnetic) interference due to the sea of radio and electrical noise that flows through a set during shooting and it was a battle that continued and only finally eliminated later in the filming schedule. I am sure a film set is the most hostile environment on earth for integrating sensitive electronics!
While I was battling with hardware and signal paths, I handed my initial sketch over to the excellent Peter Walker who began to write a class-based Python framework to unify all control information into a single base component that could be called from anywhere in the network. This was an elegant and efficient structure that worked well, but not without some stressful debugging occurring on our first set. Ultimately from what we learned I decided to rewrite MOTHER from the ground up to maximise its stability and flexibility, and this is the version that went on to finish Alien, then move on to the other films Pacific Rim Uprising and Aquaman.

QuoteMOTHER V2.0
QuoteThe current version of MOTHER is based on replicated Components, each having its own interface with all relevant settings for that screen. The number of screens are set in the master configuration which automatically addresses the slaves based on the remote computers' physical video output and the corresponding TouchDesigner instance running under GPU affinity. Monitors are accessible in groups of eight in the interface and settings can be linked across monitors and cues for arbitrary flexibility.
Ultimately all interface settings are condensed into a single Touch Out DAT that is received by the slaves on an assigned UDP port. The Touch Out DAT dynamically increases and decreases in size to scale additional information such as layer-types and specific .tox settings that may be loaded on the fly for that screen (A "tox" is a TouchDesigner component file that gets loaded on demand into a TouchDesigner session.)
All footage, layer types, effects and tox extensions are automatically copied to the slave computers in the background throughout the network of servers. This ensures any imagery or generative elements are local on the slave computers for minimum latency and direct processing, regardless of the load on the master. All elements across the system are synced through a master clock.

CW: I come from a visual effects and motion graphics background and started to move into live events. I originally began using Resolume as my main platform but discovered TouchDesigner 077 and it was a revelation. The unique interface and visual feedback was addictive and played into the established node-based creative processes I was familiar with in VFX.
I have been using TouchDesigner since 077 for large-scale theatre, projection mapping and interactive artworks. I'm a bona fide Touch nut. I have toured TouchDesigner-based dance projects in Australia, the UK and Canada. Some of these projects have been very complex and I have always worked in theatre productions with real-time generative graphics and lighting control. I like to keep everything live, being able to react and perform with the on-stage performers so each show is slightly different. To me it makes the whole experience both as an audience member and as an artist more engaging. Theatre is even more critical than film as if something goes wrong you can't go for another take. After doing many shows using TouchDesigner with some crazy set-ups and never having a problem with the stability of the platform or a creative challenge TouchDesigner could help solve, I had a lot of confidence going in. I was totally terrified though as well.

CW: MOTHER works as a distributed media server and real-time graphics generator tailored to on-set screen graphics. A unique aspects is that it runs robustly on a variety of standard hardware from multi-Quadro workstations to laptops and Microsoft Surface Pros. The latest version integrates with cheap and small single-board computers, providing flexible hardware installation options. It can mix multiple screen sizes from multiple hardware vendors. Access through a unified EDID process results in no tearing or camera strobing artifacts at any frame-rate that the director wants to shoot at.
It is totally customizable through the tox system and scene/script specific animations.
Procedural or pre-rendered scenes can be built on the fly even during shooting and then loaded transparently without affecting the on-set imagery, even during a take. Master and slave are protected as all updates and control are on-demand, and procedural animations are locally processed.

CW: TouchDesigner was ideal in that it enabled:
- the development of a unified media server platform that could be controlled over a network to media servers, each running 3 instances of the software, with each instance outputting up to 4 screens, each with 8 layers and multiple effects.
- deployment of the same centrally controlled system on floating laptops and Surface Pros that could be moved to any location where floating screens might be requested.
- tailor effects, playback control and generative content, deploying them instantly across the network.
- creation of unique layer types that might within themselves composite, apply effects and generate content.
- customization of a UI and system to reflect the unique needs of the project.
- creation of our own routines to quickly identify the production team's name for the screen and locate them in the server network.
- the resolution and orientation of screens customzable on-the-fly.
- all configurations being centralized back to a master cue player so that a complex scene could be controlled with simple UI interactions.
- multiple instances being deployed in a single machine to keep hardware costs minimized while maintaining performance.
- routing multiple live video feeds to all instances on the network efficiently.

CW: We decided to deploy a TouchDesigner system that used readily available hardware such as gaming motherboards and Quadro cards rather than a turnkey solution with overpriced licensing that was not tailored to our needs and could not be arbitrarily customized for both hardware and features. The need to prototype and deploy fast turnaround requests was the ultimate reason. And TouchDesigner's procedural nature and high efficiency meant we could balance time constraints and loads on the graphics department and enact procedurally generated layers that mixed seamlessly with pre-generated content.
There was also a proportion of directly interactive elements that ran on Surface Pro, plus the need to pipe in Go-Pro and Alexa mini footage directly into the system through Blackmagic capture cards on the fly along with multi-layer overlays and color correction. No other software solution provided such flexibility. Whatever crazy requests came through from the art director or director we were confident we would be able to find a solution in TouchDesigner in a short amount of time!

CW: I remember one incident on the Lifter set. This was a 30 ton spaceship set that was constructed in an old storm-water reservoir. The whole set was on a massive hydraulic gimbal that allowed it to move freely and violently in any way, we had rigged the TouchDesigner servers underneath the ship with umbilical cords and bungee system that ran up through the sets centre of mass to reduce strain on the cabling.
We explored the idea of placing the servers on the ship but the size and violence of the hydraulics made it impossible. We had rigged up a gyroscope to feed into TouchDesigner to give us relative positional and rotational data to drive some of the instrumentation on the ship. It was all working well with me set up at control behind a massive wall of shipping containers that served as a giant blue screen. We had fulfilled the brief for the set but Ridley was not happy with the actors not being able to know what they were supposed to be reacting to, so suddenly we had the camera department, visual effects and GoPro team asking us to coordinate a mocked pre-visualisation of the scene in real-time across the monitors in the ship. We had footage coming in from video assist of Alexa footage that had just been shot of a big stunt where the ship crashes into a statue and Katherine Waterson is thrown over the side of the ship, we had live video feeds of the ship exterior and all this pre-vis footage from VFX of the alien and the ship in this big showdown.
The monitors in the ship went from screen graphics to a kind of live switching studio where we would be cueing segments and sources across various screens and with Ridley calling edits during the take so the actors understood what was going on in the scene and had stuff to react to. I think it was great that the system could actually make it all happen in-between takes and for a completely different purpose than for what it was intended. I think it improved the timing and engagement of the actors, which is why Ridley tries to build as much as possible practically and not in post during his films, he's not a fan of people acting blindly in front of a green screen

QuoteD: Can you discuss some of the critical factors that make deploying a system like MOTHER on a major motion picture valuable and cost-effective?(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fderivative.ca%2Fevents%2F2017%2FAlienCovenant%2FImages%2FAlienCovenant_1200_08.jpg&hash=4257c51390d1a60d8f4daeff1ce6748f9e750457)
CW: I think scale and the broad mix of hardware used on a film set makes MOTHER unique. We had screens the size of iPhones through to 70 inch 4k monitors all running in sync and off the same unified system. These were spread through complex sets with up to 70+ monitors that integrated thousands of practical LED lighting, SFX such as squibs, sparks and fire, and in the case of the Covenant and many other sets, suspended on a multi-ton hydraulic system to make the whole set move. The pace and cost of shooting also makes robustness critical. With each take costing around 12,000 USD you don't want the system failing mid-take, eliminating a significant portion of the visual impact of the set, disrupting the actors and director and requiring costly delays or screen replacement in VFX.
Flexibility and rapidity of deployment is also the hallmark of the system. On the film Pacific Rim Uprising we had a 72 monitor set to install from scratch in 2 days. Most of this time is purely the installation of the screen hardware, with only a few hours to deploy the software and get everything up and running on all screens with the correct imagery, effects, layering and level controls. Sometimes a director may have a complex new visual idea once he has seen the set and this may need to go from brainstorming a solution to a final cue-able scene within an hour sometimes. While shooting scenes with a single operator, rapid changes to imagery and content over large numbers of screens is where the system shines.

QuoteD: What advantages do you see in using real-time graphics on film sets vs. pre-rendered VFX or effects added in post-production?(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fderivative.ca%2Fevents%2F2017%2FAlienCovenant%2FImages%2FAlienCovenant_1200_10.jpg&hash=7472f54afb200e6b1f1c2f34a4783827b072f73f)
CW:For the purposes of screen graphics real-time, in-camera is superior to VFX. It simplifies post production enormously reducing the need to track and rotoscope large portions of a film set and burn in imagery, especially with high depth of field and lots of actors occluding portions of the screens. It also provides realistic ambient light from the screens which is always a concern for the director of photography who needs to balance very subtle light levels, and with many scenes in modern movies driven by screen-based plot points where actors are looking at a screen and reacting to its content, it helps enormously for that to be a real thing happening in front of them rather than a green square.
I think other areas of VFX such as set extension, realistic creatures and destructive elements are a while off, but there are great advantage in utilizing real-time techniques on set to pre-visualise post-produced environments or characters, allowing the director and the actors to better understand the virtual aspects of the scene.

QuoteD: What is your prediction in terms of real-time effects becoming more common in the film industry? What do you see as 'the path'?(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fderivative.ca%2Fevents%2F2017%2FAlienCovenant%2FImages%2FAlienCovenant_1200_11.jpg&hash=1ee7676cb7feab821e9277f2e7d7f917761385fd)
CW: I think technically we are not there yet, despite the enormous advances being made in game engine development. I think technically we will come ever closer, however I still see films using non real-time techniques as primary for a long-time to come. I do think that more and more cameras will integrate hardware and software solutions that will capture many aspects of the filming process that were traditionally post-based to being in-camera and real-time, eliminating the need for green screen, rotoscoping, lightfield capture and tracking. All the information needed will be captured by the camera itself, this will speed up both shooting and post-production enormously.

That flight control stick (HOTASS) is from a real combat aircraft (possibly an F16). Even has the combat radar cursor hatswitch, red bomb pickle button and ecm programming switches still on it.
Note though the screen on the top-left which reads: ENVIRON CTR PURGE 24556 DR5
That of course can also be seen in the Narcissus in Alien and inside the Spinner in Blade Runner.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 04, 2018, 05:16:20 PMInteresting he mentions that the Engineers might have a Base-7 system (rather than our own Base-10) and tried to incorporate that into the design. That doesn't really make sense though, as Engineer's were trying to teach us at the point of our growth linguistics, mathematics etc, and even 3,0000 years ago the two dominating systems were either Base-10 or Base-5, even through isolated cultures. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but maybe it's my fault for reading too much into it.

I think it is the photo from the filming of Davids arrival.

Its from some sort of featurette or perhaps someone from the crew posted it on
social media, I m not sure though, but remember seeing it some time ago.

That's the bad thing about CGI, though.
Maybe it's a good thing to not have the Alien bouncing all over the place like some cartoon character.
Like, use a man in a suit, or a puppet, and then have CGI to do the mouth effect.

Especially the pilot chamber which is barely lit and only seen for a couple of minutes in the film. Though to be fair, it was slightly changed and used again for the entrance of the ship and we also see more of it in The Crossing Prologue.

Jeremy's stuff is great! I know it's such a small issue in the long-run but seeing those Pulse Rifles in the lockers just makes me wish we'd have seen more care put into the weapon design in the film. I don't mean we should have had PR's but just something a little better dressed up.

Pulse Rifles wouldn't have worked for the tone or effect the weapons have on the Alien but I share your disappointment with the weapons being as dull as they were, using what's clearly old rifles.

Even that's currently cutting it a little close, I'd just have liked to see something that didn't look modern but wasn't in the same design language as the USCM, something more along the lines of the design language of the LAPD 2019 pistol or even Alien Resurrection would have been my preference.

Can't say I'm a fan of the head shape or colouration but I adore Huante's other work on the Alien, which unfortunately was substantiated with more bestial versions in the final product. I'd love to see- any of his work make it uncompromised to film. The closest I feel we've got so far is the Covenant Chestburster.

If it was translucent it could work but I would prefer as well some of his blueish tones he uses so well on other sketches (though it would probably loose some of its neat details).

The pods in Alien/Aliens/Alien 3/Prometheus are very womb-like and somewhat comforting, these are more industrial and machine-like. A little more claustrophobic/sarcophagus like the pods in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The muthur interactive called the Engineer Hypersleep chambers sarcophagus, which I think is cool. Links back to the Egyptian aesthetic in Dan O'Bannon's original concept with the Pyramid/Tomb.

Because it was accurate at the time. Neca got the concept art and the look of the suit designs, probably the CGI version didn't exist yet. I don't believe they were even informed about the change in design. That's the danger with trying to get a figure out by the time of a movie release. You only get to see those first designs and knowing how Scott likes to change his mind on the fly, there was never a chance in hell for Neca to see the final version before it was too late. They certainly didn't choose the earlier design on purpose, that's literally the only design they were given. And since they were the only company to release a Neomorph figure when the film released, that's the down side we get. An earlier design, some like it, some don't.

Before you fall asleep, there is still that moment when you are awake inside that pod which is sealed shut. I think I would go mental.
I imagine you'd get healthy dose of sedatives first.
Why do you think they had all that pot aboard the Covenant?
Pop tarts man.
Best way to get back at a joker in cryo, slip some Narcan in their mid-trip dosage before bed-time. Hooeeey!

Narcan to reverse all that heroin they're shooting up in between missions, I'm sure :laugh:
I know I'd need the maximum dose of whatever allowed before I were to get in that tube. I'm not claustrophobic, but I'd still flip.

Interesting read, thanks for posting.
Hope we get to see another orrery at some point. Too bad they use on in Covenant.
That scene in Prometheus is one of my favorites of the prequels.

i wonder if "The Crossing" was indeed much longer like the script that you guys got your hands on... I remember there was an interview stating that there was roughly 20 minutes worth of footage shot that wound up on the cutting room floor. after reading that old script, "The Crossing" segment sounded like it could be 20-30 minutes long in terms of story telling...
maybe one day ALL of "The Crossing" footage will be released, esepcially seeing as that image of David reveals theres more to that scene than what was released!

Tack on matching humidity and you'd be as miserable as us Tennessee folk. I swear, you can wear the air around here. Of course, that's normal summer weather in these parts. Can't wait for fall to get here.

I got the image of this bit appearing after the white room scene.
Just Shaw going into the chair and taking off. Cut to the Juggernaut 2 in space as it disappears into the distance.
The date on screen fast forwards and we see the Covenant coming into the screen.
Later during the flashback we see her getting out of the chair and fixing up David and stuff.

I miss Noomi. If we ever get some kind of reboot/remake/spin-off/whatever I'd love to see her return in another role.

Noomi Rapace truly was wasted, she's a phenomenal actress and it's unfortunate that Prometheus never gave us a script to match.
If that had been the case I can guarantee the nostalgia craving for a Neill Blomkamp Alien film would have never existed
in the first place.

A great place to spend some time especially if you like rain. The annual average rainfall in Milford Sound is more than seven times that of England. No need to pull the fish out of the water when they're already swimming around in the sky.

I think Covenant desperately needs a black & white version. It would be amazing and really fit the movie overall, would definitely pay for an official version. It would go so well with all of David's eerie drawings and the deadness of the engineer home world, along with fitting in with the hopelessness that movie conveys.

You'd need to dial up the contrast. It's often a very dark movie.

True, I would imagine it would need to be tweaked a little since it originally was not meant to be in black and white. I've seen fan trailers in B&W that look really good, I assume they had to edit the image though.

It's colour timing is different from the Blu-Ray to the 4K, without stating the obvious-
you see more in the 4K in more than just in terms of resolution.
A B&W version wouldn't go amiss though.

If you're talking about B&W technically yes, but it wouldn't be as good as a professional print.
As for colour timing or 4K Resolution, absolutely not.

Yep the in utero stuff is great. The addition of an umbilical cord and placenta beginning with the Deacon and carried through A:C adds another layer to the xeno birth ickyness.
Did anyone read the short story in Bug Hunt told from the Aliens' POV? Really gross/awesome part about a chestburster birth as experienced by the burster...

Could be wrong but I think it were several drawings.
I have to read the book again but I think he said something in the lines of "The first batch we did was considered too brutal/gruesome. So we had to dial it back a little."

I am kinda sad my first recording didn't work. We also previously discussed how radiation in space is visible and that the Covenant is deceptively dark, whereas the space station itself is quite bright and astronauts find it hard to sleep because of the flashing they see in front of their eyes from cosmic rays that permeate the hull and their eyes/eyelids.
We also had lots of jokes about how some people have said the space sequences looked unrealistic or fake. I told him that I have read somewhere that it looked like they were "making things up" as they went along. He kept on saying "I better go do my fake job now" cause my recording was before he starts his all-night shift at the observatory. :P

For me the neutrino part was the only thing that stuck out to me as a bit weird, but now I've learned something new as well about supernova which is is awesome cause I'm a astronomy geek.
I thought the beginning third of Covenant was beautiful and a lot of those nitpicks we've heard before were too much and a sometimes even ridiculous. I'm really glad the beginning got that much attention and because of the effort put into it and the accuracy, I honestly appreciate the movie a bit more now.
I love when movies have qualified consultants and they actually listen to them.
muthur9000, you mentioned in the interview that you talked to a biologist about the spores on Planet 4, so where did you post that talk? Because I can't find it on your site and I'd really like to read what a biologist has to say about that stuff. ;D

It was at the bottom of the post with Brad's interview -
We had a question about the Biology of Planet 4, unfortunately, it is outside of Brad's expertise but our friend XenoPark, a Discord and Patreon supporter, is a Biologist and was able to answer these questions.
If Planet 4 was completely ridden of all lifeforms how could there be trees, don't they need carbon dioxide to grow?
So in the flashback, we see that there is flora on planet 4, and from David's diary we see the fauna as well, beetles, molluscs. David says that the accelerant goes after meat (maybe it seeks out special proteins, etc.), kills, mutates, or creates parasites which can kill the engineers, and we suppose the complete fauna on the planet. When the Covenant crew arrives we see the planet is empty, and there are big forest, trees, moss.
So could there be trees?
Yes, if the accelerant truly does not harm plant life, and what we see is the original flora before David. Secondly, if the plants and trees are pollinated by wind/water like many species here on Earth. These kind of species are not dependent on animal pollinators (invertebrates, birds, bats), and could thrive. If there were other pollinating strategies, for example with beetles, in that case, those species went extinct. Thirdly there are no plant-eating animals present.
We see that possibly the atmosphere on planet 4 is like on Earth, the Covenant crew can breathe without difficulty, and we saw in Prometheus that the engineers need the same type of gases. So what happened here on Earth is that plants were the first organisms that colonised land, because their efficient strategy to exploit the carbon dioxide filled atmosphere (and there were no other opponents present) After that plant radiation started, slowly the atmosphere filled with oxygen as a by-product, which helped invertebrates to radiate to land (because the not so efficient breathing prevented previously), and later amphibians as well. If we pull out the animals from the ecosystem, I don't think plant life would be thriving after 10 years, a bunch of the species would die out. After a while, those species would step into this empty place, which is not dependent on animals. Or it is thriving because the level of animal dependence was very low, before the bombing. So there is plenty of carbon dioxide naturally in the atmosphere.
How did the moss in the juggernaut grow in the dark?
Basically, it can't. Moss is not entirely a plant, but it needs high humidity to reproduce (spores are carried by water drops), and light. Maybe, it is not a moss, something else, and it can live without direct sunlight. Or it's in a relationship with that green slime found by David on the control panel in Prometheus. There are unicellular organisms which can switch from photosynthesis when there is light, to predation at night. Maybe sometimes the juggernaut boots up and emits some light. Moss can lie dormant, and with a single drop of water, it can turn into green in a couple of seconds.

Thanks Hicks and muthur for you work.
I wish this would all end up in some encyclopedia about the series.
One part with all the facts and research. Another part with all the best possible theories.
That would be something wouldn't it, I'd definitely buy a book on Alien lore and history of the Alien Universe.

If you're ever bored you could try putting your site into book format.
And gather with the other heads of Alien fan families for their contribution.

QuotePrometheus: from the archives, jumping back to the winter of 2010, working for Costume Designer Janty Yates, this was an emergency space helmet from the climax of the film that was approved and then cut due to budget. All drawn in photoshop, I'd most likely model it in 3D now.

Best practical version IMO.
It was a mistake to replace the baby Neomorphs with sub-par CGI versions, and although I'd say the designs in all cases were major improvements- the adult Neomorph by far benefitted the most. The beautiful texturing and depth of the practical Neomorph baby and toddler just didn't carry over whatsoever in any case, aside from the Chestburster.
Imagine how much more eerie and immersive the scenes with the CGI Neomorphs would've been had they maintained the layers and depth of that woman's wonderful work. Oh well...

It's not believable though in motion, a screencap looks alright but in motion it fails.
It's such a squandered aesthetic potential it makes me genuinely furious.
The Neomorph CGI design + translucency, depth and layers of the practical baby design equals; Gold.

I really do like the idea of a proto-form of the Aliens. I just wish they'd receive more focus and attention. It was my problem with both Covenant and Spaihts' scripts. They get pushed out the way towards the last third for the Alien and it did neither any favours.

I could totally have seen that first Deacon-esque one propped up in David's lab as one of his "in-between" stages.
The way I see it, the Deacon and the Neomorphs are essentially variations on the same concept anyways. Predecessors of the Alien derived from the pathogen without much (any, really) intervention from David.

its kind of unfortunate that a lot of elements from the films will never be explained...
01 - the deacon bas reflief in the head room and the holograms
02 - the head in the head room
03 - the murals with the bird xeno + xeno hands holding the facehugger egg in the head room
04 - the deacon itself
05 - the scorpion ship
06 - exactly what happened between docking and the ship crashing
07 - 10 years of Shaw and David
08 - the engineers exact connection to the xeno
09 - is walter still alive
10 - what happens to the eggs left on the engineer planet
i could go on a bit more... but yeah, something tells me that the 3rd and final film will leave as many open and loose ends as the first 2 films did

Maybe it's not a Scott Free production, but he is Ser Alliser Thorne in Game of Thrones.

One isolated building on a whole planet with ancient alien stuff inside, like in the original script.

I like ghost ruins. A pre-human city made by an ancient realm, whose inhabitants are lone gone. It is not only gives you an universal wisdom sensation, but also the chilling feeling that something really bad happened. Even sadness or mystery. Like Alien's Space Jockey: A mysterious traveler resting in the dark biomechanical entrails of that creepy space shipwreck; from the in-universe perspective there is only silence and emptiness. However, from our perspective the atmosphere is beautifully established by the half disturbing-half melancholy Jerry Goldsmith's music. I suppose that with an old structure or building you can make a set pieces with the same atmosphere as the Derelict. I imagine that when you're talking about the original script, you mean the pyramid invented by Dan O'Bannon and Ron Cobb's design.

"Then Allah sent down on him and on the stubborn unbelievers with him a mighty rushing sound from the Heavens of His power, which destroyed them all with its vehement clamor, and neither Shaddad nor any of his company set eyes on the city." - Arabian Nights: The City of Many-Columned Iram and Abdullah Son of Abi Kilabah
A culture that has survived millions of years living in catacombs turn to art to fight against oblivion. In this way they keep their science, their wisdom. I am with you in relation to the ancient sets: low relief sculptures, fresco, statues, hieroglyphs, etc. This kind of thing can tell us interesting details (at least for some of us) about this particular civilization: mythology, beliefs, culture, etc. I think it adds some substance. After all, sometimes art speaks for itself.

"Scott told us the faces might be those of apostles, wise men — a superior people, while production designer Chris Seagers revealed that the heads were meant to give a sense of history and gravity to the sacred place... a place where the Engineers stored their information." - Collider Article via Alien Explorations.

I actually dig when ancient and modern meet. Why does a civilization with the ability to travel through space have a Hellenic/Brutalist architecture and antiquity clothes? I mean despite my preference for the original mystery and the cosmic horror, I always wanted to know more about theses guys. It's as if the Prometheus crew looked like this, and it is kinda odd in my opinion...
(https://i.imgur.com/xhvdWbG.jpg)
I don't have great problem with the use of the ancient-astronauts trope in fiction. Especially because the technologically advanced element of this "future past" is Giger's legacy. I agree with Fiendishly Inventive though. So far we got tons of stones and just a pinch of the Giger's raw material. Well Gigeresque raw material actually. :P My favorite dream is still the biomechanical planet. However, and even accepting the direction that Ridley took, I believe that a balance between the biomechanics and the ancient civilization vibe would have been better.

Prometheus's structure is a dome, and an uncool version of Giger's Harkonnen Castle. In Covenant there is also a dome topped with structures similar to golden solar panels.
The Giger's silo is obviously an acorn or egg of some kind.
(https://s2.gifyu.com/images/Silo.jpg)
Most likely it is a fungus however.

random trivia: Someone crashed one of the terraforming trucks into the door and they had to re-build it very quickly.

Always one of my favorite moments from the movie.
This passage of the film is so powerful: Med bay, the attack of the neomorphs, the return of David and the discovery of the city.

I love the film, but yeah, the mini Alien remake onboard the Covenant in the third act is easily the worst part of the movie and kind of sticks out like a sore thumb, despite having some really strong set pieces throughout.
I think a lot (though not all) of that could have been ironed out if there was only ever one capital-A Alien, the one birthed from Oram, that survived the crane encounter and made it onto the Covenant. Forget the Lope-birthed Alien. Having one born moments after the first dies kind of throws the whole thing out of whack.
Oh well. Despite the iffy structural stuff there, I can't get enough of Covenant.

The no wearing suits is because of the visual aspects, which I can fully agree on after watching Prospect (2018) with Pedro Pascal.
When wearing suits/helmets you have to deal with light reflection, other lighting related stuff and the damp from breathing.
In the original there's rain falling down at some point, without any reason behind it besides the fact that it looks cool.
Think that's it's mentioned in a docu, that Riddles goes for the visual at the expense of logic.

I think they shouldn't have included one at all. Spaihts' drafts had the same issue where there just wasn't time to really treat the Aliens properly.

I liked Prometheus and Covenant, but the fact that I got more enjoyment from Raised by Wolves tells me that if Scott had created the prequels so that they had no connection to Alien (i.e. no xenos, and not part of a 'shared universe'), then I would have liked both films a whole lot more.

Not a fan unfortunately. I found the casting to be weak, less the wonderful Fassbender and can I include James Franco? 🤔 The story opens lofty but transforms into pretentiousness when the eyerollingly dumb events begin to stack up. The evil twin swap trope? Really? Is this high school fiction? And the Alien conclusion feels like a lesser director that doesn't really know how to create suspense or suspenseful action who's attempting but failing to do Ridley Scott and James Cameron... yet it's Ridley Scott?
I don't mean to rag on it. I know it has it's fans, but I left the theater incredibly disappointed with it.

Yeah, I'm on the "capital 'A' Alien didn't need to be in the movie" band wagon too. One of my criticisms of Prometheus was that it never managed to establish a coherent alien villain. The various manifestations of the black goo were just too random (Fifield and the trilobite) or pointless (the deacon) that they never embody any role greater than generic threat.
Cut to Covenant and the spore pods > back bursters > neomorphs actually establish an interesting, primitive analog for the more refined lifecycle we finally see play out in various was from Alien to Alien 3. As earlier incarnations it doesn't even bother me that they're mindlessly vicious to the point of being suicidal. As manifestations of the black goo they're still settling into a niche in the environment.
What really irks me, though, is that Ridley admitted to having his mind changed in response to Alien: Isolation, but somehow managed to completely miss the point of what made "the beast" scary again in that game. It was clever, calculating, and always in control of its environment, like the apex predator it is. Instead, what we got in the finished film are two constantly hissing, shrieking cheetahs that race around at break-neck speed all the time, both of which die mindlessly leaping toward something. So remind me again why we ditched the neomorphs, which I would have had no problem acting in such a capacity, just to diminish the alien even further?
It's the failure to deliver on its obvious potential that really bugs me about the film.

What really irks me, though, is that Ridley admitted to having his mind changed in response to Alien: Isolation, but somehow managed to completely miss the point of what made "the beast" scary again in that game. It was clever, calculating, and always in control of its environment, like the apex predator it is. Instead, what we got in the finished film are two constantly hissing, shrieking cheetahs that race around at break-neck speed all the time, both of which die mindlessly leaping toward something. So remind me again why we ditched the neomorphs, which I would have had no problem acting in such a capacity, just to diminish the alien even further?
It's the failure to deliver on its obvious potential that really bugs me about the film.

I'm pretty sure it's just that Fox was under the impression that people missed the Xenos in Prometheus, and asked Scott to include them in Covenant. Don't remember Isolation having anything to do with it specifically.

Give me Prometheus any day but you can keep Covenant. The movie looks great but unfortunately that was it for me. Did not appreciate the generic treatment of the cast or the Alien. Gave me Alien 3 vibes and not in a good way. If the alien is just gonna snarl and kill don't bother. The Alien has cunning and intelligence that plays on a primal fear. Would have much preferred the initial direction the sequel was going with Paradise Lost.

The real reason is the hype caused by the Blomkamp project. The studio saw that the public wanted to see the beast again.
So Ridley had to make concessions to make his film, otherwise Blomkamp's film would have been made a priority by Fox.

Not a fan unfortunately.

The evil twin swap trope? Really? Is this high school fiction? And the Alien conclusion feels like a lesser director that doesn't really know how to create suspense or suspenseful action who's attempting but failing to do Ridley Scott and James Cameron... yet it's Ridley Scott?
I don't mean to rag on it. I know it has it's fans, but I left the theater incredibly disappointed with it.
That's my thoughts exactly ! Oram getting face-hugged, the worst dumbest scene of the movie and one of the worst in the whole franchise. I don't understand how it seem to somewhat get a silent pass quite a lot of times.

I'll give it a vocal round of support, rather than a silent pass. Oram's curiosity and blind faith (this is the man that ventured off course on a totally unknown world, after all) and David's alluring temptation ("I met the Devil when I was a child") got the best of him. And the chestburster's birth and it's initial interaction with David as it mimics his movements is one of my absolute favorite moments in the entire franchise, let alone the film itself.

The human mind operates in finicky ways under stress, especially when one is just as curious about what they are seeing as they are afraid of it. I think the mention of the Devil and the connotation of twisted temptation that comes along with that is key in getting into Oram's headspace in that moment.
Paradise Lost, indeed.

I think a lot of passes have to be given to this film. Like goofily not wearing helmets. I've heard light and camera reflection as a mental reconciliation for not filming with them, yet from 2001 A Space Odyssey to Underwater we get helmets.
But in truth, I think helmets are not used solely just to support a lazy plot mechanism, so this could happen (the exact reason why you'd wear helmets on an Alien planet).

Unless you just write that the spores passed through the suit. Either way someone's getting infected regardless.
I never had an issue with the lack of suit / helmet myself.

Simple logic fixes like this across the film could have helped temper all the check-your-brain-at-the-door criticism it received... which would be fine if it was just a light popcorn film, but Covenant treats itself so much more seriously.

For that analogy to be valid, the existence of vampires and the threat they pose would have to be widely known in the novel, which isn't the case. No credible scientist on earth would disembark, unprotected onto an alien world, especially one that already has confirmed life on it. There's just as high a likelihood that you'd infect the local ecosystem with something in/on your body as vice versa.

Carlos Huante actually goes over his own take on this in one of his YouTube videos exploring his work on Prometheus and Covenant. His idea was that the spores were tiny-organisms, resembling gnats, that would cover the explorers' visors like a fine powder. When they brush their hands across the visor to clear their vision they unwittingly crush them, releasing their acid blood, which slowly eats through the helmet and allows other spores to get in and infect them.
That sounds like an infinitely preferable idea to me.
As for Oram. I'm just at a loss. There's nothing I find credible about his actions in that scene. It's just bad writing.

Creative Assembly confirmed that Ridley Scott had never played the game. Not surprising considering that octogenarians generally aren't really into vidja games. Might be that Sir has seen a YouTube vid but he has most certainly never commented on it.
What he did say was that he (or perhaps more likely the studio) looked at "social media" comments and concluded that the only issue with Prometheus was that it didn't have any Aliens.
It's very clear however that Scott was not interested in bringing back the Aliens, it was a studio directive.

Yeah I think treating itself as if it was some deeply philosophical work of the highest caliber when it's full of goofy dumbness is the heart of the problem for me.
If the movie was at least more entertaining and less deja-vu a 1000 times elsewhere, it would have been slighlty less of a problem. But even that it does not.

Ridley still doesn't seem too interested in revisiting the Aliens, which is why I'm doubtful he'll direct another capital-A-Alien movie. If they'd even let him do a third prequel, they'd undoubtedly want the Alien to be a primary focus and I'm not sure Ridley would be down with that unless they give him enough room to explore other things. But who knows, maybe he'll budge.Quote from: The Necronoir on Jun 04, 2021, 05:03:08 PMQuote from: Evanus on Jun 04, 2021, 03:46:32 PM

If Scott had freed himself of obligations to the Alien story-world (obligations such as a serious attempt at realism), by rewriting Prometheus/Covenant so they had nothing to do with Alien, then he could have put that unique aesthetic that we saw in Raised by Wolves into Prometheus/Covenant instead.
This disconnected version of Prometheus/Covenant would have naturally created its own storytelling style (what Trash Queen describes in genre terms as "gothic romantic horror") and if that entailed a bit of the bizarre and irrational, then so be it. It would have been a feature, not a bug.
