Well yeah,
Covenant rocks.

I wonder if the reason they aren't using the red band trailer, even for rated R movies, is because the red band doesn't have the TCS and Scott Free logos before it and the green band does.

It will likely be attached to the next R rated film by 20th Century Studios sometime in June.
So... Deadpool & Wolverine

And there people that think this movie would save this franchise. I think this movie would've been more of a franchise killer than what covenant did with the alien.

For what it's worth, it was the executives that killed this movie off, though seemingly it had nothing to do with the quality or content of the idea and more to do with the quantity and them not wanting to commit to two projects. Of the two, I'm glad we got Covenant, which remains a highlight of the franchise for me.
That being said, the idea of the Aliens building/growing structures is one that intrigues me (even though most of this project's other ideas don't really do it for me much at all), even (or, perhaps, especially) if it is just as a "What If" scenario. I do want to see this project explored in that fashion, as a book or comic or something, a la Gibson's scripts.

Quote from: Nukiemorph on Today at 03:08:33 AMI'm a little baffled that studio execs and Sigourney were so excited about this idea.
The executives were probably excited by "Ripley/Hicks/ALIENS" cash in nostalgia, and Weaver was probably excited about another go at playing Ripley; VS specific ideas that, as we see them now on paper, look terrible.

Quote from: 426Buddy on Today at 01:34:38 PMWhat a terrible idea. Jockey's growing the ship is one thing but having the Aliens grow an intersellar starship from human material is just soooo stupid. I won't even start on the queen mech suit or the many hybrids or the bursting of mini huggers.... Now the fansplaining starts, trying and rationalise the ideas and make them sound better.
I'll forever be thankful that this was scrapped. I'll even take David the creator over this.
Even Romulus is going to play with mutations and different creatures. I've been thinking that if you can't make an interesting movie focusing on the titular Alien then this series should have just ended with A3.
Totally agree. No amount of fansplaining will salvage this dumpster fire. Glad at the end of the day AlienĀ³ survived this.
