Yo FOX. I know you're reading this. I'm not buying another thing from this franchise until you make a sequel to Alien Covenant.

I am a tad concerned that I don't see these shorts on any lists of special features.  If this turns out to be false, I'm cancelling my pre-order.

I haven't seen any special features listed anywhere for this release. I certainly haven't seen any official word about them, and I wouldn't put too much faith in anything until we either get that or it actually comes out and people can see for themselves.

Although it has to be said it seems this talk of them being on the 4K release comes solely from the directors rather than the people actually producing the Blu-rays.

When packaged together, it's been my experience that the 4K disc doesn't contain the bonus content other than audio commentaries. It contains just the 4K movie itself.

The standard blu-ray that accompanies it is what contains the bonus features.

Yeah, this.

I'm hoping its the case here because otherwise I'm gonna have to start saving for a 4K player and TV!

Red band trailer and release order.

April 26th: ALIEN: Alone - Hope, an abandoned crew member aboard the derelict chemical hauler Otranto, has spent a year trying to keep her ship and herself alive as both slowly fall apart.

Trailer is looking pretty solid. Can't wait to watch Containment tomorrow.

Like.

[Still Collating...]

This looks so much better already than I expected! The visuals are really making me impatient to see this.

[Drukathi]

What the hell hand on 20 sec?!

[The Kurgan]

Looks like it's a facehugger.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Definitely a facehugger. Leg digits look a bit stiff, so they probably didn't have a prop that is super articulated. But it is also worth noting that the shot is only about a second long and appears to be the person pushing it away from their face, so the legs in a bit of a fixed position reaching back out towards the face makes sense there.

[Drukathi]

Well, or this facehugger have only 6 "fingers"(legs) or... Well, alien hand have 6 fingers.

[Jaytrix]

Looks lame. These kids dont understand the differance between suspense and gore.

Quality vs Exposure.

I'd prefer to have both.

[Nukiemorph]

Looks lame. These kids dont understand the differance between suspense and gore.

Big assumption for a couple of quick-cut teasers.

[Perfect-Organism]

Excited.

[SM]

These look really promising.
