I half-jokingly asked Haag to show us some of the concept art as he goes, and got this response that probably indicates when the movie is coming out.

For an Alien Temple for an unknown film pitch. If I'd have seen this six months later, I would have said that was from the movie.

It appears that Chris Seagers (Fantastic Four :-\) is the production designer for Alien: Covenant.
Odd, since Arthur Max has been Scott's P.D for the past two decades...

Fantastic Four isn't the only thing Chris Seagers has done! He has been PD and Art D on a ton of great projects. I for one, wasn't happy with a lot of the PD in Prometheus. I didn't hate it but I felt it needed something. Especially when it came to the planet. Which I found less than intriguing.

It would very likely have been either Seagers himself or his agent who put his name up. It's probably good enough to bank.
But if you want to publish and double check before you do, you could always ask Wayne. It shouldn't breach his NDA, AFAIK.

It might be more interesting if the world is not biomechanical. It would break the wierd trope that an extraterrestrials homeworld seems to reflect the same style and look of the creature itself. Does that bug anyone else with sci-fi generally? Like the one-dimensional approach to alien civilisations. They tend to have one culture, one style and one main agenda. There's rarely variety. It's like making a film about humans but Earth is nothing but 6 billion scientists with every building and monument looking like a microscope or having humanish features.
All that aside, Wayne Haag's artwork looks pretty damn nice after a quick browse on the Internet!

So having in Prometheus a faction of Engineers who wanted to destroy us and others who continued to visit us, the sacrifice Engineer wearing clothes vs the ones with pressure suits, ovoid ship vs 'croissant' ship, is a kind of shift in this one dimensional portrayal you appreciated, and you would like a stronger emphasis on that in the future films I guess ?!
I see there's no poll about their homeworld appearence in the Covenant section, I'd like to see how people want it :)

Prometheus' trailer was amazing and I still get excited when I watch it, one of the best trailers ever. Unfortunately it sold a movie far different in tone from the actual finished film.

Strange date considering that the film won't be out yet. The only exception for showing concept art before a film has been released is if the marketing department wants to make use of it for promotional purposes.

No - just a set visit. It looks amazing though.
Nothing interesting, just exciting!
I asked Jim what kind of sets he'd seen but he NDAed me. He did say that "gonna be huge tho" and when asked by someone else (who I am sure was on these boards at some point, Robert Wagner) "epic in scope like Prometheus?" Jim replied "Bigger".

Regardless of when it comes out I do hope we get another Art book. I'd like them to start releasing them with CDs or something too, where we can get digital copies of the art in the books.

Might confirm that unsubstantiated $150 million budget. Though the cast of unknowns would argue otherwise.

The artists usually release their artwork on their websites/facebook etc. anyway, so a CD would be moot really. Anyway, who still uses CD's? Might as well put it on a ZX Spectrum cassette tape! :P

I'll have to have a dig through my personal photos and see if I have any worth sharing from my time at Milford Sound.
Regarding New Zealand it really is paradise and has everywhere on earth rolled into one. Glacial Lakes beside tropical jungles beside snow capped mountains etc AMAZING.
Also like the idea of Giger labyrinth being beneath paradise but I think I like the idea more of paradise being overrun by Giger's biomechanical architecture!

That looks wonderful. Really can't wait to see what Ridley does with locations like this. We really haven't seen anything as green and foresty like this in an Alien film. I want to see how Ridley makes it scary and Alien.

Jim Minns on Covenant :
http://jimminns.com/ (http://jimminns.com/)
QuoteOn Monday, I was lucky enough to meet one of the world's most iconic filmmakers - Sir Ridley Scott. I was blown away by how hands on he was. With thousands of workers employed for his latest film - Alien Covenant - He was just as interactive with the props dept' for the Android blood as he was for the gimbal on the spaceship.
He explained the cycle - that when he was in post-production on The Martian - he began pre-production for this. Once he'll be in post on this he'll be in pre-production for Blade Runner 2.
"I Love it" - He said.
You've got to admire the dedication - with all that he has achieved so far, yet he has made a concentrated effort not to stop.

no exotic strange rock formations, new kinds of rock, or plant life or...or...it just look very 'basic'...minimal...

Perhaps his character stayed behind on the Covenant while a smaller boarding party went down to the planet on a shuttle?

Ridley is gonna do the Martian approach,
only that will make it claustrophobic.
If you are gonna watch an alien movie you are ready for it,
if you are gonna watch a movie like the Martian with all the gravity and no breathable air stuff it will get scary soon,
when an alien pops up to dysect you.
Prometheus was everything so high tech same as in the other Alien movies that followed and the AVP, in Alien they had to go down with a sorry ass cable and elevator that was poorly constructed.
It does matter if you have to climb up somewhere like the orery of the huge Jockey or you just oh i use my jetpack to get there.
Having these things it would make a movie much more scary and on the edge of your seat,
as in Aliens when Ripley gets in the last elevator, will it be fast enough to go up in time what will happen when the doors open,
Bishop is gone? f**k what about the timer.
Interstellar for instance cold windy place where you are alone with the elements where Matt Damon is running out of food and time, shit will get a lot more scary when you are being hunted or followed, when he gets in the fight with
Matthew McConaughey you really start to hate Damon really fast, its so simple.
Making an alien scary or dangerous in a high tech universe or situation is a lot harder and nearly impossible,
and it will probably result in more of a Starship Trooper thing or an Aliens thing,
i think Cameron really knew this from the beginning of writing.
i just had to rant this down in poorly Engrish, sorry.
only that will make it claustrophobic.

Matthew McConaughey you really start to hate Damon really fast, its so simple.
Making an alien scary or dangerous in a high tech universe or situation is a lot harder and nearly impossible,
and it will probably result in more of a Starship Trooper thing or an Aliens thing,
i think Cameron really knew this from the beginning of writing.
i just had to rant this down in poorly Engrish, sorry.

Wayne is often very cryptic about Covenant... but I think he very much enjoyed working on that movie, and if I remember correctly, he somewhere expressed his wish to work on two next movies.
His reply to some of the questions about Covenant left me wondering:

I like it how Wayne diplomatically avoided answering kemosh's second question.
The Fifth Element was awesome though. Kind of a live action Moebius comic, starring Ian Holm, Al Matthews and Brion James from Alien, Aliens and Blade Runner. I think I saw it about 4 or 5 times during it's initial theatrical run.
First picture of Michael Fassbender in Australia hanging out with some fine upstanding gentlemen from the local slammer:

QuoteLearning those skills has clearly paid off. Seimetz is currently working on her strangest, largest role yet: acting in Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant," out in 2017.
"I feel like I'm a bit of a spy," she jokes. "For me, I haven't thought that big before only because my brain has always been, like, What can I make that's in front of me right now? Right now I get to go onto a set that's so huge and learn how to do that, which was never part of my possibilities in the past."

It's not uncommon for them to be multiple working units. Especially for FX stuff and well, like explosions... In the case of Fassbender being there with Scott, they could fly them in for one day while the rest of the Unit does everything else.

That's very true, but it could also be a day to day thing, like Fass is there with cast on two days with Scott directing and then a 2nd Unit director blows the thing up another day or works with stunt doubles.
I'm really just saying it's hard to tell much based on the photos.

It's not quite as simple in this case. They'll need to catch a plane from Sydney to Queenstown for a three hour flight, go through immigration/passport control and customs and then catch a single or twin prop plane to Milford Sound (if the weather allows them to fly) and then squeeze in fourteen hours of filming before going back to Sydney.
So it's not simply a case of filming in New Zealand the one day and Australia the next and then back to New Zealand the next day again.

I can assure you this type of thing happens, sounds like you're correct in saying it's problematic for this but just possibly not in the same day, but overnight for sure possible and especially for people like Fass and Scott. The production will easily throw that money around to fly them back and forth if it saves them money on Production length for locations and rentals and every other expense. But I'm not particularly attached to any of these ideas. I'm just letting you know that having multiple builds going on in different locations and flying people back and forth saves them millions of dollars and is common practice. They could easily build for one scene on a stage, shoot it while the build happens in New Zealand, then fly to new Zealand and shoot while they strike and build on that same sound stage. Totally normal practice.

I agree with Hicks on this one (as much as every part of me wants to not look at this rationally). I enjoyed Prometheus -- even though I agree that the finished film was 'Frankensteined' together. I think that whatever followed Prometheus was going to be a tough nut to crack. Prometheus provided, IMO, some interesting material but no easy payoff. This was compounded by the fact that Lindelof was not attached to write, leaving those mysteries unresolved. My biggest concern with Covenant is that this thing has been re-written, if all the various reports are to be believed, many times over. However, following the same reports, there seem to be some story points that have leaked that have remained consistent -- multiple David's, paradise-like planet, the Engineers. This hints at there being some skeleton of a story, but how much of that is satisfactorily resolved when connected to Prometheus and Alien is yet to be seen.
I am optimistic that Logan came on board to do some re-writes. Given Scott's current success with The Martian, I am hopeful that he will deliver a more coherent experience this time.

Got news for you folks. Things don't get written in one pass, anywhere, ever. The Wizard of Oz had 12 scripts, rewritten, and 4 different directors. Things get changed on the fly and included/excluded on a whim. I'd be worried if the script for Covenant hadn't been rewritten at least once.
What does that even mean, rewritten? Is that a total-makeover, starting from scratch each time? Is it a minor revision, or a big change? Did they alter the font, from Comic Sans to Times New Roman? It's good to revisit a script and reconsider what you're working with. Movies aren't shot in order and certain scenes are filmed or not, due to various reasons. If I remember correctly, the end of Alien the way Ridley shot it, wasn't in the script, and almost didn't get shot due to budget constraints; he wanted to shoot it in the buff, but that idea got scrapped, and beyond all that, originally the alien was supposed to win, killing Ripley and steering the ship towards Earth using her stolen voice. And supposedly there was another version, never filmed, where Ripley fights the damn thing outside the ship via umbilical cord and kills it by shooting it in the head with a pistol.
And Lambert was originally supposed to crawl into a locker and die of a heart attack, but they didn't have time to film that, or the funds, so they recycled footage from Brett's death scene and recorded Lambert screaming (and it worked a lot better, I think, than the original idea would have).
What I'm worried about, I suppose, is the lack of budget constraints, not the script. Ridley didn't have much to work with and had to get pretty creative in spots, and so of the best scenes in Alien were shot under the pretense of a limited budget and shrinking time table. Granted, the rough material Terry Rawlings had to work with was something like four hours, if I remember correctly from his interview on the DVD's making-off featurette, so they were able to shoot plenty if not build everything they wanted.
The biggest issue of all for Prometheus was the editing. That's it, plain and simple. The damn film is too short, too truncated. Even if the script was stellar, the editing for that film would have ruined it, in the movie's present state. If anything, I would pray to the film gods that Ridley actually edits this one proper.

It's good to revisit a script and reconsider what you're working with. Movies aren't shot in order and certain scenes are filmed or not, due to various reasons. If I remember correctly, the end of Alien the way Ridley shot it, wasn't in the script, and almost didn't get shot due to budget constraints; he wanted to shoot it in the buff, but that idea got scrapped, and beyond all that, originally the alien was supposed to win, killing Ripley and steering the ship towards Earth using her stolen voice. And supposedly there was another version, never filmed, where Ripley fights the damn thing outside the ship via umbilical cord and kills it by shooting it in the head with a pistol.
And Lambert was originally supposed to crawl into a locker and die of a heart attack, but they didn't have time to film that, or the funds, so they recycled footage from Brett's death scene and recorded Lambert screaming (and it worked a lot better, I think, than the original idea would have).
What I'm worried about, I suppose, is the lack of budget constraints, not the script. Ridley didn't have much to work with and had to get pretty creative in spots, and so of the best scenes in Alien were shot under the pretense of a limited budget and shrinking time table. Granted, the rough material Terry Rawlings had to work with was something like four hours, if I remember correctly from his interview on the DVD's making-off featurette, so they were able to shoot plenty if not build everything they wanted.
The biggest issue of all for Prometheus was the editing. That's it, plain and simple. The damn film is too short, too truncated. Even if the script was stellar, the editing for that film would have ruined it, in the movie's present state. If anything, I would pray to the film gods that Ridley actually edits this one proper.

I am optimistic that Logan came on board to do some re-writes. Given Scott's current success with The Martian, I am hopeful that he will deliver a more coherent experience this time.
Funnily enough, I remember watching an interview with Scott during the Martian's press tour in which he said he didn't read the book because he didn't want to meddle with the script. Of course The Martian had a great script to start off with, but I think they were really struggling with Prometheus 2.

Well we knew it'd been through a lot of changes. To what extent and the quality of this next one up still up in the air. It does scare me though - it has for a while.
To be fair, Alien and Blade Runner turned out great.
Although admittedly, that was quite a long time ago. Back when people still said "no" to him.

By his own admissions he's a business man first, artist second. I'd put a 100 euro on it that the studio demanded he include the Xeno in Covenant. In the same way the studio, or to be more specific, Tom Rothman, demanded he remove the Xeno from Prometheus. He's always at the mercy of the studio, willing to make significant changes so that he can just make a movie on his conveyor belt of movie output.Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 28, 2016, 07:59:06 PMQuote'Empire' Star Jussie Smollett was greeted by fans as he arrived in Sydney, Australia to film Alien: Covenant.

Most likely, they are forking over a lot of money after all. But Scott does seem to wield a lot of influence at Fox if Weaver's statement about him being responsible for delaying Blomkamp's film are true.

Nah, that would have worked fine in 2015, but I find that we've done away with elegant adjectivy suffixes in the past few months and just started tacking on the letter "y" to just about anything. Yes, you can now literally turn any noun into an adjective. Yes, the adjectives are a little nouny, but don't be judgy.

According to Wayne Haag, Blomkamp's Alien is going to
come after Ridleys next two Alien Covenant sequels!
Well, he would have worked directly with Scott and might have asked him about it. Very good chance it's true.
So just another decade or so to wait for Alienkamp. :(
I really hope he's mistaken. That would be a terrible idea.
Considering Scott has just signed on to direct an adaptation of Wraiths of the Broken Land, we may be waiting another 5 years just for the next Covenant sequel, never mind Alien 5. If Scott's stance really is to hold off Blomkamp's film until he's done with his new trilogy, then chances are we'll never see it.

Sounds like AlienKamp may not happen then if we have to wait for the Covenant trilogy to finish. Which means Prometheous is Standalone then?

Yeah, I'm hoping he may have misunderstood. Signourney Weaver said they had to wait until Alien Covenant was released before they proceed. I can only assume Blomkamp wanted to reveal things about the Engineers that Scott wants put off until he's told his story first. But hopefully whatever that is is told in Covenant alone and not the next three combined. The likes of Michael Biehn and Sigourney Weaver will be in their 70's by the time all three Covenant prequels are done.

Isn't he also signed on to direct The Prisoner? It took five years between Prometheus and Alien: Covenant so at best we're probably looking at ten years for him to do the whole trilogy. Michael Biehn will look like Mr. Weyland by then!

QuoteHe is in Sydney filming Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant," with a cast that includes Billy Crudup, Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride, Jussie Smollett and Demian Bichir.
"There are going to be great sets and aliens coming out of people," Michael promised about Ridley's "Covenant," the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that started with "Prometheus."
"It's amazing to watch Ridley work. I try to soak up as much knowledge as I can from him, because having worked on this kind of films a few times and having seen how many moving parts there are, how many people work on the set and how many departments need attention and the language, he's an absolute master.
"The sets are fantastic. Again, the most impressive sets I've seen since 'Prometheus,' which was the original setting. It's a fantastic mixture of high-end technology and primitive elements. The way that I can explain it is the same way that Ridley did 'Blade Runner.'
"You have this futuristic world where people are eating noodles, because that seems to be the cheaper food and something that will fill you up. But it's also something that harks back to the past. The weaving of those two things—past and future—together makes for an interesting world that we can aspire to, but also recognize something in it."
On what he packs when he travels from his London home to places like Sydney, Michael said, "I don't think I have anything other than the script that I'm working on. I take a computer, because I use that to help with work. And my toothbrush (laughs). I don't have anything that I hold onto that much, to be honest."

Sydney Morning Herald posted their interview with Fassbender but barely anything in it regarding Covenant:
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/michael-fassbender-surfs-sydney-on-way-to-return-as-magneto-in-xmen-apocalypse-20160510-gopdkj.html
QuoteSo it's a surprise to hear Fassbender say he always tries to bring comedy to his performances.
"I just look for different types of characters but maybe all of them are a little extreme," he says. "I think I should probably start looking for comedies now. That's probably what I'm going to try."
He played an offbeat comic role, an introverted singer who wore a giant plaster mask, in Frank two years ago and says he tries for humour with David in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant as well.
"I try and bring comedy to everything, even if it's a horrible sinister character. Even Epps in 12 Years a Slave. That scene where I'm chasing Solomon around and slipping in a pigsty. That reminded me of a Buster Keaton sketch or Charlie Chaplin."

It's from the artist's Facebook page. He describes it as a warm-up/sketch. I doubt it's actually from the film (I don't think any of the artists would dare to post any of their related work up on social media) but it's a nice indication of the talent behind the new film. I noticed one of the other artists liked it too.

Coincidently I was listening to an interview with Carlos Huante yesterday or the day before where some of the designers on Prometheus were noting the way their designs on Prometheus for the original Engineers script, had a number of specifics. Especially the main monster that came from the Sexburster - the Porpoise-headed one with the whiteish skin... I think Co. Hicks and I were speculating that we wouldnt be surprised to see that scene and creature in this film. So in the interview I listened to, the designers were stating that that creature was going to have a very easily seem human skull under a thin layer of transparent skin.
That descriptiom fits with both of these designs.
Honestly, even if some of the designs that made the cutting room floor on Prometheus were better than what made it to the final film, i never liked those designs as much as these. This is a good sign.

Must say I think the "F A C E H U G G E R" tweet is one of the most exciting ones I've seen so far. After all the changes Prometheus went through I'm still expecting the rug to get pulled from beneath us all and it morphs into a semi-prequel again, but I'm finally starting to believe this is Alien over and over. YES.

Dane Hallett's reply to my questions about Covenant:
Not too much of a reveal, but I wanted to share it with all of you.
Its good and important when the crew is optmistic and eager to make a good movie.
QuoteHey man, I'm not legally allowed to say anything about the film (trust me, they'll have my ass!) but I am having a ball! Can't wait to share more work once the project has been released. As a die hard Alien fan, I too have my Fingers crossed that it turns out as good as we hope.

Tristian is working on the latest series, Defiance. The other fella worked on Fire and Stone a few years back. Hopefully this is indicative of Ridders and co having actually gotten it together.

I see where you're coming from, PO, but that caption does lead me to think there's a possibility that it could be reference to taking off. Also, I'm loving Chris' idea of something coming out on the 426th day until release. I think that'd be really cool. With IDR coming out later this month, seems like a good movie to attach some sort of teaser too as well.

Maybe some behind-the-scenes footage with Ridley kicking things off by saying: "Well, here we are, I'm back yet again"?

So what has happened to Dr. Elizabeth Shaw??
My theories are:
She dies enroute to paradise.
She strands David on that planet cause he is what caused the destruction there. (Heading for parts unknown.)
David tricks her into getting impregnated.
She's the one in the pilot chair in the first Alien movie, and set the warning beacon.
Now she may not be in this one and show up I one of the other 2 cause she's made no comment or talked about it.
There is a 10 yr time period between Prometheus, and Covenant anything could have happened. I can't imagine there will be no explanation as to her whereabouts.
Would be cool to see a cryptic type message from here during the viral marketing about what happened like a audio/video type recording that we will see in the film.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIahZSwHCKU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIahZSwHCKU)
This was released in July 2011 while Prometheus was still filming. Pretty much at the same point where Covenant is right now.
Could it be that they have put together another video like this for San Diego Comic Con 2016? But since Fox recently decided to pull out have now decided to release it earlier?

Probably the first teaser released later this year, as Prometheus (December 21, 2011?).
May be the week of Assassin's Cread release because it's a Fox movie.
Or December 24 = LV223 and would be a fantastic Christmas present.

This. As nice a notion as it was, it was just a notion. I don't expect we'll see anything else based off numbers to do with the movies until next April.Quote from: Enoch on Jun 03, 2016, 11:35:13 PM
Dane Hallett - concept artist for Covenant
This is most probably not related to Covenant, but I think this picture is very interesting. :)
Definitely not related to the movie but damn! Dane has style!

These 'lil kind of teases are usually placed as a build-up to something more significant. I wouldn't have given them much thought if they were just posted on Alien Anthology's twitter page but these were literally plastered over every official 20th Century Fox account.

I figured as much.
Maybe Fox will re-release Prometheus back in theaters either as a limited run or as a double feature with Covenant just on opening night like they are doing with ID4.
Maybe a certain Corporal who we all know, and love could contact Fox and persuade them. 8)

I don't agree the Prometheus will harm ticket sales. Casual fans of the series seemed to like Prometheus a great deal. People always bring it up to me. Its the real sci-fi nerds that are divided and 'divided' is a key word there. Half of those people have equally as nice things to say.
Myself- im somewhere in between. I don't HATE it, overall. I hate some of its choices and love others.
Actually the best thing to do is show Prometheus, Covenant and Alien.
I see why they had to attach 'ALIEN' before 'COVENANT' but it breaks continuity.

I know plenty of "casuals" who hate the movie, while myself, a hardcore fan of Alien, feel pretty much the same way about it you do.
I think Scott is attaching Alien in front of it, and not Prometheus, because a large portion of the complaints were simply that the film wasn't Alien enough. It felt almost like a stand alone film, different in content, sub-genre and style--barring several exceptions, overall. Scott is trying to distance himself from the negativity and move closer to the popularity of the original, while still having some big interesting ideas that frankly I liked, in Prometheus.

They wouldn't need to. That's the theme for the new series! I wouldn't be too surprised to see Prometheus rebranded for home release again closer to Covenant's release but NickisSmart brings up a good point about not being directly tied to Alien.

Nah. It should be ALIENS: HADLEY'S HOPE and ALIEN: FURY (161) since that's where the action takes place - but really since Im saying the whole thing is a bad idea, based on the need for discontinuity after calling this film ALIEN: COVENANT, which takes place before ALIEN. Just call it COVENANT, or drop the 'ALIEN' from the title upon release. Really the best idea is to market it as ALIEN: COVENANT and then leave the 'ALIEN' absent from the title sequence and in any boxed sets.

Alien: Covenant update from Fox executive
Quote"It's going great," says 20th Century Fox executive Fred Baron of Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, which is filming at Sydney's Fox Studios and on location at Potts Hill near Lidcombe.
"The director and our producer love it here, not just living in Sydney but they're loving working at the studio and the technicians and the actors," Baron says.
As well as being hard at work shooting the sci-fi thriller, with two more Prometheus-meets-Alien instalments planned, Scott is also executive producing Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner sequel, which starts shooting in Hungary next month.

Quote from: Stolen on Jun 09, 2016, 05:46:44 PMQuote"It's going great," says 20th Century Fox executive Fred Baron of Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, which is filming at Sydney's Fox Studios and on location at Potts Hill near Lidcombe.
"The director and our producer love it here, not just living in Sydney but they're loving working at the studio and the technicians and the actors," Baron says.
As well as being hard at work shooting the sci-fi thriller, with two more Prometheus-meets-Alien instalments planned, Scott is also executive producing Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner sequel, which starts shooting in Hungary next month.
Wonder what they're shooting at Potts Hill? Any of the Aussies on here know what's of interest there? Could the quarry where they were shooting the massacre have been located there?

Potts Hill is where the Sydney water treatment plant is, with huge reservoirs laid there, so yes it'd probably be where they filmed that massacre scene. It's not far from where I live, funnily enough.

Yeah we'll have to keep tabs on it, I'm sure they'll post the segment on the official news website maybe?! I'm just as curious to learn anything new from Ridley's mouth as much as the visuals!

If the show does actually start at 10, I believe that's 20 minutes time so we should be seeing something soonish. Not that I'm good with time conversion.
Turns out it was posted hours ago. Nothing really. Lots of Prometheus footage. Maybe some small minor glimpses of trees but nothing to get excited about.

Swiss artist, Bocklin was in a sense almost a kind of precursor to Giger.

I'm happy none of you have posted this but just a warning. The attached picture is making the rounds on Facebook with folk claiming its from Covenant. It's not. It's from Prometheus and was shared on their page early in May. We also have pictures in our behind the scenes gallery of the construction with the same guy in the red shirt.
Someone even did a custom map for AvP2 based on the concept. I remember it being really creepy.

That figure reminds me of Charon from Greek mythology who carried the souls of the dead across the rivers Styx and Acheron (the name of the planet in Aliens, if I'm not mistaken).

The word covenant has a very rich and warm sound to it that oozes an homage to giger's surrealist designs.
If we saw that one original design with the eyes and bulbous tail, we would be in for a true treat, feast for the senses.
If not, well then truely a tease up my arse.

I just had a look at his twitter page, looks like he's still hanging in LA. So probably not.
And by the look of his attire in this recent picture it seems like he's had it with Ridley... :P ;D

Couldn't agree more. It's hard to think of an Alien film without Charles' amazing work behind its home release.
Looks like foreign press are getting on set today. The above was French.

Like what Giger wanted, with a bio-mechanical planet, which he described, in his interview for the making-of of Alien? Alas, no budget, back in those days. In Covenant, everything looks like a level out of Donkey Kong Country.

So specualtion about this encrypted big spoiler :laugh:
Arnold Böcklin
- Arnold Böcklin is a major nineteenth-century symbolist artist.
- Traditional in his devotion to nature and his sense of expression, Böcklin also
conveys a modern sensibility and spirit in his canvases. Setting his work in an intensely
personal world where mythological creatures encounter the folklore of German mythology, Böcklin achieves a marvellous fusion of the sometimes conflicting trends of Naturalism and Expressionism. Yes there is a painting called Prometheus that he painted!
He uses many myhological creatures as symoblic objects. He often used god Pan, centaurs, naiads and other nymphs!
- The Island of the Dead. Within six years he would complete five variations of this painting, now considered his most important work. A true masterpiece, the canvas has a moody ambiance that draws the viewer deep inside a dramatic setting that somehow manages to be both fantastical and real. The painting gives the viewer direct access to the painter's private world, a world that is simultaneously dreamy and melancholy. The atmosphere of stillness and mystery was deliberate, Böcklin wanted "a picture to dream over." The title of Isle of the Dead was the suggestion of an art dealer, the artist always referred to the scene as The Tomb Isle. He never gave an official title to the painting deliberately leaving it without it so that the meaning remained open to interpretation by the viewer. (Thats what Ridley wants!!!). Many surrelistic painters made a derivative paintings of this work, and the most prominet is of course one by Salvador Dalí (and of cource HR Giger!!!!).
Giger
Dali
Salvador Dalí in 1932 painted ,,The Real Picture of the Isle of the Dead by Arnold Böcklin at the Hour of the Angelus", but the artist leaves us to work out the connection between the title and his scene of an empty beach. (There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing!). On Dali's version of the painting on the left appear the only objects: a cup with a thin rod attached to it sitting on a block. Using Freudian dream interpretation (which is evident throughout Dali's early work) any receptacle is female (Pandora) and any rod is regarded as phallic (Zeus or Adam and Eve). Read as male and female, these objects could be the reason for Dal's inclusion of the "Angelus" in the title. Ridleys methaphors are the same, he used this dual idea in Alien and more so in Prometheus. Two elements create life. Its an ultimate idea of yin-yang, destruction-creation, Zeus-Prometheus, God-Satan/Lucifer, black goo creates and destroys. This picture by Brocklin can be compared to greek mythology of boatman Charon who ferried souls to the underworld. The water could then be either the River Styx or the River Acheron and his white-clad passenger a recently deceased soul transiting to the afterlife. Lindelof ,,Lost" used this painting as inspiraton. This particular scene on painting could be connected with the Milford sound scene with lake and exploiding ship, there is a great ressmblende with the isle scene if you watch Milford sound scene from the lake towards the land. This first interpretation is just a firts layer interpretation, the most obvious one, and the wrong one! Second is more important to our story and if we introduce all Brocklins works then we can find some connection with Covenant, Paradise Lost, Engineers, ,,GOD", monster, David and humans. If we analyse the symbol of island we may find some clues: According to Jung, the island is refuge from menancing assault of the ,,sea" of unconscious, or in other words, it is the synthesis of consciousness and the will. Now we will introduce Hindi interpretation of this symbol and Matrix is there: ,,Islands can be seen as the area of metaphysical force (Paradise is illusion!!!) where the forces of ,,immense illogic" of the ocean are distilled. It is also a symbol of isolation, of solituse and of DEATH . If we say that island on still sea can represent a reflected and inverted image, a hologram or illusion, well then we get a Matrix vibe. I will mention two more paintings by Brocklin: PROMETHEUS (Landscape painting with sea, waves, rocks and grand forest and mountains in background!) and Ocean Breakers (One Wayne posted on twitter). A woman standing on a rocky stairs facing a ocean and waves. This scenary is very simillar to that of Isle of the dead. This doors we can see could be behind the Isle of the dead painting. Interestingly if we analyse all this, we can say that woman on painting is in fact Shaw (metaphorically speaking) and she is facing the ocean. She in fact reached the real Paradise and Covenant crew in a ship (a boat) is arrivng to something they think is Paradise but its not, they are in fact entering the maze of illusion. So maybe the answer to question about Shaws whereabouts is this one: She is in the Paradise, but real one and she is trapped within it, something is keeping her there! And what is an ocean? – illusion that shrouds the reality created by someone that wants to hide the real thing ! Maybe Covenant will find beautiful planet with monumental nature, but that very well could be holographic projection and camouflage of the real thing!
The stones and trees on Brocklin painting make for an interesting comparison – both are symbols of the natural world, the former dead and cold, the latter alive yet silent. The apparent lack of human life on the island is made poignant by the inferable knowledge that once upon a time, the stone ruins must have housed living men. Now, however, like death, the island is an isolated, isolating, and lonesome place. Sounds familiar.
Very interesting thing is that on boat there is a woman which husband died (Shaw) and a third person flying a ship/boat> David. There is a painting by Bocklin depicting woman crying on the dead body of her deceised husband killed by Plague!
(The Plague, 1898). Isle of the dead can represent Shaw/David arrival and then the later arrival of Covenant. Bocklin often uses Nymph as a symbol of illusion. We know Covenant (or pod) will wreck on the shores of Milford Sound, maybe the movie will be set on big island? :) Brocklin paintings often depict greek god Pan, and other mythologial creatures and religious motifs.

If someone want to look into Bocklins work to try to find something that can be
related to Covenant, here is a full collection of his work
http://www.arnoldbocklin.org/ (http://www.arnoldbocklin.org/)
I just researched a bit and found out many connections of Prometheus and Alien with The Cthulhu Myth.
I know about H. P. Lovecraft and how his works influenced Alien, but my new discoveries could suggest that Ridley will introduce Lovecraft ideas in Covenant. Its enough to say that I found a Locecraft notes with description of the scene we saw on leaked photos from the sets!!! Lovecraft was obsessed with occult and greek god Pan; well some time ago I found Pans face on mural/relief in Prometheus... Coincidentally Arnold Böcklin too was fascinated by Greek god Pan (look his paintings).

Nicely found! That one has escaped detection for a week or so. She works for one of Scott's production companies.

That's one helluva bluescreen in the far distance - must be about five storey's tall. Probably a remnant of the two Star Wars prequel's that were shot there since filmmakers have mostly switched to greenscreens now.

This is not from social media, but I don't know where to post it (this is more or less a "minor news" thread, anyway): Ridley Scott has apparently injured himself on set, colliding with a forklift. Fortunately, it doesn't seem very serious and he only got his wrist damaged.

I suspect it will decrease. At least the leaked stuff will. Post-production will just involve CGI artists locked away in a studio, no more filming in public areas.
We'll probably see a massive increase with regards to officially released stuff around three months before the film's release once the Hype Machine kicks into gear.

Leaked stuff will decline, definitely. Not that there's really been a great deal this time around. But we'll start to see more of more official stuff. Set visit reports, interviews, etc. Proper marketing obviously won't kick in for sometime though.

It's going to be tricky to verify. No-one currently working on the film will confirm it either way or even touch it. What format is it? Can you check the embedded date of the document, the author, title and subject?

What I have is the supposed first draft. I'm trying to check with the crew the date that draft was completed. Unfortunately it seems to pre-date anyone's involvement. I'm going to write up an article detailing it and I'm either going to have to take a risk on posting it or not. We'll see. I've still got a few feelers left out there that haven't returned yet so we'll see.

If the script winds up online on other sites and more people get to see the chances are it will be a fake script done by somebody who is eager to spread it as much as possible.
If you bare the only one who has it and you don't see movement anywhere else, then the chances are it's legit.
Ussualy the fanboys who write fanfiction want it spread as much ass possible, so if someone like that sent you the script and sees you are not posting it, then they'll try to spread it in some other way.

Good point.
From personal experience, the shooting script typically has the person to whom it was given, name watermarked diagonally across the page. It may also have a digital watermark if it isn't a scanned document. But a first draft might not have that since very few people will ever handle that document.

Post the script please !
But in all fairness won't Fox be a bit upset because it might show details of Covenant ? Even if it is a bit removed from the shooting script?
So I guess verifying its authenticity might be prudent. As is the case. So if its real its likely that Fox won't allow it.
Hope I am wrong!

A positive indication that it might be real then. Though the odds are still very high that it's a hoax.
Also consider that a first draft would only have been seen by a select few people. Ridley, Jim Gianopulos, maybe a couple of other Fox execs, Michael Green, John Logan and of course Paglen himself. And I doubt any of them will confirm it's authenticity until after the film is released.
I agree it's good to play it safe until you can get a better idea with regards to it's authenticity. You could also try getting a second opinion from guys like Val, SM, Sil etc who could probably spot a fake from a mile away.

1) Does Shaw die, or live on to fight another day??
2) Will this end on cliffhanger like Prometheus did??

I have a feeling Paglen's draft has nothing to do with what the final film shaped into.
It bears zero resemblance to what we know of Covenant.
A positive indication that it might be real then. Though the odds are still very high that it's a hoax.
Also consider that a first draft would only have been seen by a select few people. Ridley, Jim Gianopulos, maybe a couple of other Fox execs, Michael Green, John Logan and of course Paglen himself. And I doubt any of them will confirm it's authenticity until after the film is released.
I agree it's good to play it safe until you can get a better idea with regards to it's authenticity. You could also try getting a second opinion from guys like Val, SM, Sil etc who could probably spot a fake from a mile away.Quote from: oduodu on Jun 26, 2016, 07:26:37 PM
But in all fairness won't Fox be a bit upset because it might show details of Covenant ? Even if it is a bit removed from the shooting script?
They are going to be pissed if it's for real. The have invested millions of dollars into this film. If the Corporal does decide to upload it here he better be prepared to remove it very fast if Fox asks him to.

In fairness it did actually have some good ideas and a lot of people were convinced it might have been real as it was pretty far out and interesting!
I remember the xenos were basically ant sized and were used to clean planets for terraforming (I'm guessing the black goo is basically this in microbiological form instead of ant sized).

I'm also someone who liked ALIEN HARVEST, and while I did receive emails from its author claiming it was a hoax (but no response after that), it's kind of remarkable, the way the end of Prometheus seemed to set-up an Alien Harvest-like scenario. Especially when you combine it with what we know of Covenant.
Take these with a grain of salt.
For starters, in Harvest, there is an Android-character stranded on a Paradise-like planet, for about 10 years, with another slave who had just been woken from 2 years of hyper-sleep. It is here on Paradise they discover the aliens. Its a version of them we havent yet seen, and they are tiny bugs that the Engineers use to terraform planets. There is the traditional xenomorph in the script as well. 1 creature we already know and another we don't - as reported. One of them tries to notify the Company that the place exists but the other likes their life there, and doesn't want the rest of civilization to know about Paradise... So, the one slave murders the other so they can have Paradise to themselves... AND it's the Android character who kills its lover. Which would make the android the sole survivor, and the murder victim Shaw. In that way David would be murdering Shaw because he doesn't want mankind to know about Paradise and wants to live in peace their with the Space Jockeys, IE; Engineers. It even had an Adam and Eve like-thing going on, which is part of Paradise Lost. In Harvest it was between 2 men, which caused a lot of problems but many people speculated at the time that script appeared that it could easily be changed to an android and a women and still make sense.
IN the meantime, INTERLACED with that story (on PARADISE with the two slaves) there was a second story about a team of explorers on their way somewhere, unknown. They had another android who was identical in looks to the slave on the planet (much like the two Fassbenders in Covenant) on board with them, and they encounter the Juggernaut in space orbiting around a planet. Circumstance cause them only to shoot it down on what we assume is LV426. We later realize the two timelines link and the ship the crew encounters is the one in question in the other story line taking place on Paradise.
Also of note is that the crew on board that ship included a female character who is worried about time dilation causing her to miss her kid's childhood.

Amazing.

I re-read the script last night. Its a good read. A bit strange because most of the ideas in it are great but then there are these glaring things that need to be changed like Karate Kicking ants aliens and the over emphasis on the love story. My favorite thing about the script is the way it shows us what happens to the Space Jockey as it crashes on LV426 and all the neat details with the Ultramorph-like giant alien that grows from it. I especially love the part where it is eating the ants eggs. Cool image. There is even something like a star-map that the crew of the ship uses to track the Derelict before they shoot it down.

Previously, Ashleigh was the one responsible for sharing the extremely cool Alien: Covenant crew sweaters and T-shirts, which sported the Weyland-Yutani"Building Better Worlds" tagline we mentioned last week.
Just moments ago however, Ashleigh shared a new photo - a resin mold of an Alien Xenomorph head... she tagged the photo #AlienCovenant and #gift.
I've asked her if in fact this is at all indicative of the film's new Alien design or if it was made for fun
As expected, the cast was a gift from Fox, not a hobby project. Ashleigh got back to me on I Instagram and added she could not confirm or deny if the mold is a reflection of the new Alien design.

It is not a new design, but a recast from the ALIEN 3 Halcyon model kit minus the dome. I used to own that kit years ago and I remember the head and neck were two halves that needed glueing down the center before putting the translucent dome over the top.

Ah, yes. Clearly it's based on the 'ALIEN 3' Halcyon kit. So it can't be very big - unless the item in Ashleigh's photo has been scaled up somewhat.
That creature kit actually looks pretty good in that review, too. it's a damned sight better looking than Halcyon's first 'ALIEN' kit, their model of the Big Chap. Which is too much LOL and facepalm in equal measure.

Can you tell us anything about the characters the other actors play? Better use spoiler tags though if you're certain about your source.
IIRC, Bichir plays the head of security on the Covenant, and Waterston possibly Ripley's mother (rumoured). Fassbender will of course play David(s) again and Noomi will no doubt play Shaw again and I think that's all we really know for now.

When you get the Blu Ray, check out all the special files, there's a really good tie-in to another series :)

Wayne seems like a good guy. The crew seem to keep mentioning the facehugger stage of the creatures life cycle. Seems we absolutely will be seeing some face hugging going on. I guess wen Ridley said "we'll have them all, egg, facehugger, chestburster, then the big boy" he really meant it. I have a feeling the creatures will be redesigned to make them terrifying for a new generation of filmgoers. Hopefully the designs are fantastic

Do you know if they are finishing on schedule, ahead of schedule or behind schedule?

I'm already nostalgic ;D
No delay for shooting, it was expected that it ends before the start of filming of Blade Runner Sequel.
Which?
Prometheus hard to criticize on this point, they made choices, but the film is visually stunning. There are also magnificent artwork in Alien that I have liked to see in the movie, but you can't have everything ...
We live in a time when science fiction creative art is virtually absent, fortunately Ridley Scott returned with good intentions.

:laugh: That my friend is sadly not the Alien or Blade Runner Ridley who was responsible for setting a new benchmark for science fiction films. On Alien and Blade Runner, Ridley was way behind schedule and over budget. He had completion bond guarantors on set shouting at him, telling him to hurry-up or cut this or cut that. A week after finally wrapping on Blade Runner, Ridley was officially fired from the production. But he just said; "f*ck it" and continued to work on the picture despite that minor little technicality. Those were the days when he did on average 15 to 20 takes after taking about 5 hours to set up the shot. He was a relentless perfectionist. He created science-fiction art films that defined the genre.
Fast forward to the present day when he does everything in 2 takes, 3 tops. An oiled movie production conveyor belt designed to churn-out movies virtually effortlessly and with minimum drama. But I can't really blame him, a director who's always over schedule and over budget is not going to last long in this business.

Yes, you are right; but there are some advantages when you do only few takes!
He filmed Alien that way, and the best reactions are often spontaneous, not rehearsed ones.
Its not only because studios are demanding faster pace that Ridley decided to do lees takes, but
because there are a greater chances to create more real situations in that way. Blame lame actors and
illogical scripts... becuause those two are the main reason Ridley has failed in few of his previous movies,
not because he is doing only few takes. He is not the only great director doing that! His main problems now
are bad choices of scriptwriters and too many ideas in his head that he wants to put in one movie, and the other problem
is the presence of unconvincing actors. Not all of them, but only two are needed to ruin the movie! ;D
P.S. I saw those illustrations long ago, I have all of them on HDD. Amazing work and its a great
shame they did not make to be in the movie. One positive thing is: now there are greater chances we ll see
such scenes in Covenant. Afte rall Prometheus was Ridleys firts SF movie after a long time. I strongly believe
he finaly learned what his mistakes are!

Not the same time.. :(
Now many things are done after shooting (CGI)
Ridley is still perfectionist, but he is much experienced now. He knows that time is money, so he turns with 4, 5 or 7 cameras simultaneously. The first/two takes are always the best.

Just rewatched Prometheus last night and damn, is it a fine movie. I'm also slowly coming to the conclusion that Ridley Scott was spot on in making the scientist dumbasses. You can already see it today; perfectly fine individuals making boneheaded decisions one after another.
The movie is also intelligent. It teases while introducing an expanded universe where there is a reason where man must be exterminated. Also the universe is cold and unwelcoming. None of this good fortune bullshit. :P

He plays the Hollywood game very well. Can't fault him for it - it's a business, after all and if he's capable of playing that game while making the films he wants to, go for it. Just hoping that the film he wants is what we also want this time around.

Alien and Blade Runner (more so Alien) did set benchmarks. Alien was so influential on the genre. Prometheus isn't as good as Alien or Blade Runner. It may look pretty but it wont have the same sort of impact than Alien or Blade Runner had on future films. Not in a million years. The Martian is awesome though. It proved to us that Scott was still capable of making great films.

Which is probably a bad thing as no-one dares to stand-up to him anymore and tell him when he has come-up with a genuine bad idea. Same story with George Lucas.
The bottom line is, he's simply not that into making genre defining classics as he was in his 40's.

Why did robin hood suck? It told the pre story of what set the robin hood events in place. A prequel if you will. It also seemed more factual. I liked it. It just lacked a climax is all.
Ïf a lack of competition and abundance in complacency is the reason why people are not performing as of old then how do you remedy that?
I am asking because I have no idea. Maybe testosterone injections? LOL!

I think he's just making movies now because he enjoys making them. He likes to keep super busy. People who retire often pick up a hobby, stamp collecting, fishing, bowling... you name it. Ridley's hobby is making movies. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that he's not going to break his back* again to make another Blade Runner or Alien.
*though he might concede to breaking his hand in the service of making another Alien film. :P

Yeah. They usually "strike" the sets and dismantle them. We got a few of our old Prometheus leaks during this period, where sets and props where just being thrown in the skip.
I'm half expecting to see something posted online while SDCC is taking place.

Is that an inkling or have you heard anything through the grapevine, man? I'd love to see a teaser at this point, so far everything i've heard recently from the likes of McBride etc has really gotten me excited to see some sort of footage.

I'm sort of half expecting a teaser of some kind before the end of august, simply because it seems to be the norm these days to release the first trailer a year before the film lands.

Perhaps not a teaser trailer but something like the SDCC Prometheus footage.
I know Fox aren't going to be there showing their own new titles but I wouldn't be surprised if they released footage at the same time online.

How long will editing take?
Editing should probably take between 4 to 12 weeks. Though editing is a lot faster these days with everything being digital now. Ridley also had an editor on-set cutting as they went along so he would probably already have a pretty good idea of what he's going to use.
So he'll then do a first assembly cut, likely followed by a director's first and then a director's fine. Fox might then show it to a test audience and then Ridley would have to cut out a lot of the violence, dumb it down, speed-up the pace and add a happy ending. Then eventually they'll have the theatrical cut.

Apparently they've already started working on some of the CGI elements while still filming as is common these days.

Oduodu, I think there was at least one test screening in Santa Rosa, California if I remember correctly. The Corporal might know more about that.
Unfortunately a test audience can severely f**k-up a picture. A lot of gore was cut from Alien because people were puking in the aisles. Blade Runner got a voice-over and happy ending tacked-on because of test audience's failure to understand the picture.

So David gets his head re attached. By who I wonder? If Shaw then when ? After they land?

From Ivor Powell (Alien - Producer) on what happened during the second test screening of Alien:
QuotePeople jumped up, some actually ran, there was spewing in the loo," laughs Powell. Myth may have embellished truth, but stories run wild of ushers keeling over; someone actually tripping and breaking their arm; audience members fighting to find seats further back, not to be so close anymore; those who made it to the toilets stuffing towels in the speakers to drown out the screams. Fox supremo Alan Ladd Jr. had taken his wife, and claims to this day that she is still traumatised by that evening
Were your parents at the test screening?

I think the theater puking story was just something they heard or read about at the time.

I can't speak for Alien but people getting sick watching Aliens is a fact. Rodger Ebert summed it up in his review. After about an hour in it is nothing but monsters on the attack. Even for a movie from the 1980's it was intense as f**k and scary.

It's only fuelled my creative fires and getting my hands dirty again was something I've been craving so I'm super happy to have quenched that thirsty thirst I've had for quite some time and walk away inspired and excited. I'll sure miss it but will enjoy the memories until I get to work on the next movie in October, and I can't wait until all you angels and aliens can see our handy work when it comes out next year! Love and miss you all so let's hang out now that I'm free! XOXO HUGS AND SMOOCHES.
From one of the other decorators, I believe.
By "the next movie", does she mean the next Alien movie?
The reference to Angels and Aliens was curious. Just what are we in for??

@avpgalaxy My strength is lighting/mood which naturally works for environment, did a lot interior / exterior frames.
@avpgalaxy .. I take the set designs and turn them into photographic reality.. so I set the lighting, mood, colour palette, details etc etc

Aliens: 30th Anniversary
QuoteTo toast to the 30th anniversary of James Cameron's game-changing sequel to Ridley Scott's classic horror, Cameron, producer Gale Anne Hurd and cast members Sigourney Weaver, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, Michael Biehn and Paul Reiser will share stories from the making of the blockbuster. The chat is sure to be entertaining, but more exciting is the very strong likelihood that the conversation will veer towards Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott's sequel to Prometheus, which opens next summer, plus Neill Blomkamp's first stab at the franchise, set to star Weaver. 20th Century Fox has remain tight-lipped on whether footage from Covenant will screen; with an August 2017 release, it's highly likely. Don't rule out Cameron from also dishing on his four (!) upcoming sequels to Avatar.

Possibly - but unlikely. You've never signed an NDA before, have you? If this is the design of the creature, you can expect Fox to pull a take down order for that .gif real fast.
I'll be happy to see a call back to Giger's original design but I don't think this is it.

That looks a lot like the beluga alien I thin it was called. That was the Fifield transformation from the concept art for Spaihts's Script.
Is there a chance then we might see more of the unused creature designs from Prometheus(or at least the pre Lindelof concept art) in Covenant?

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Covenant or Prometheus outside of being created by a fella working on Covvie. Dane wasn't involved with Prometheus.

Regarding Fassbender's hair color, I would consider T.S. Lawrence and how deeply he became entrenched in Arabian society. Perhaps David has become so deeply entrenched in Engineer tech that he doesn't even have hair.

Dane wasn't involved with Prometheus.Quote👽⚡️DREAM TEAM ⚡️👽 All wrapped up on Alien Covenant! What a crazy start to the year!

That looks a lot like the beluga alien I thin it was called. That was the Fifield transformation from the concept art for Spaihts's Script.

Is no one going to mention the Slug-like thing on the T-shirt? It looks like you can see various stages of it. As if the T-shirt depicts the evolution of the Facehugger.

Speaking of Fassbender... I am really curious as to how David gets his head re-attached... He doesn't appear blonde in ANY of the pictures — which is alright considering he dyed it blonde at the beginning of Prometheus. Also, the only indication of his character is the David onboard the Covenant ship in that promotional picture with Ridley. I'm even considering that he doesn't get it re-attached, but that he somehow binds with the Engineer technology (kind of like how Fifield and Holloway became *something more* thanks to having introduced it into their bodies). Maybe Scott and co. will go the biomechanical angle this time around and have the black goo definitively act as a sort of technology instead of it being an ambiguous bio-weapon.

I thought the same thing when they show David re-dying his roots blonde in the beginning of Prometheus. If the roots were darker, maybe his "natural" hair color is what we'll see in Covenant?
I always thought David would have a bald Engineer head in this but I guess not unless they do a bald cap like they did for Sigourney on Alien 3 reshoots.

Quick question, who here think they'll include a sequence where the artificial gravity goes haywire causing the crew members and aliens to float through the ship unhinged by gravity allowing them smooth rabid motion through the ship, leading to memorable kills with blood and guy spilling but still afloat in the air? Such an effect would be costly but great to see pulled off on the big screen.
Hopefully it takes sooner than another 5 years ::)

Well, reduction in the ship's gravity - and a rational explanation for its lowered presence is already factored into these movies - is is one of the key components of explaining how the egg(s) get aboard the Sulaco, so why not?
It's about time we saw some null gravity action in this series either way.

This'll be my last Alien post (maybe), it's a big deal to me to have had this experience.
Life has been grand. *there's a typo on this shirt that has since been corrected, I kinda like the typo though.
QuoteAs we wrap, we're reminded of the enormity of the project.
For me, the past 9 months have been amazing, grueling, satisfying, exhausting, thrilling, emotional, all consuming and utterly rewarding.
Personally, co-supervising the creature effects on a Ridley Scott Alien film has been an absolute dream job. I'm so honoured and grateful for this opportunity. My 14yr old self would've lost his mind on a daily basis.
It's been quite the ride Conor!
The great collaboration between Odd Studio & Creatures Inc Ltd has given us the opportunity to have met and worked with a bunch of new friends & colleagues, while catching up with old ones.
This image is featured on the back of Alien Creature Effects crew t-shirt I designed, using one of Dane Hallett's beautiful sketches.
It lists our amazing crew.
Thanks again creature team, you all rock!! xx

But with regards to that puzzling McBride pic, here's my theory. Ridley got access to several of NASA's facilities during the filming of The Martian. The Martian was of course also a great success and a terrific advertisement for NASA.
So it might be possible that Ridley asked one of his contacts there if McBride could make use of one of their simulators to better prepare him for the role of a space pilot. This would likely have been documented as well for the DVD extras, therefore accounting for the presence of the cameras.

Well, Fox did say that they weren't going to show off any of their new films at SDC this year. Can't blame them for sticking to their word.

Hopefully they've just delayed it to get away from SDCC. They didn't want to show footage there for a reason, makes sense they wouldn't want to release any during the event.
Probably, and there's so much going on over the SDCC weekend it's likely to get swamped by all the other stuff being released. Sounds like this deleted scene that is now going to be used for viral marketing is definitely a sure thing? It's just a matter of Fox deciding not to release it yet?

We won't be seeing any Hicks or Newt in Ridley's prequels. They wont be born yet. Unless they space the other 2 out over a larger time period, I guess. Even then that's Blomkamp's jam.

Seems like they had all had a great time working on this movie which is nice to see. I get a feeling that with the disappointment of Prometheus there is probably a more easy-going work environment that allows them (the creature/art departments) to just create crazy shit without having to fit into any studio demands as it seems they just want a good "ALIEN" movie.

He goes on to say that a production of this magnitude usually carries with it some stress, especially with regard to premieres and press junkets, but otherwise he is very satisfied with the film despite his inability to say anything more about it.

Oh yes. Of course. I saw this a quarter century ago. But I think the actual Alien came out better than this. I'd appreciate seeing this as a tribute, but it wouldn't be better than what we have. Inferior actually. We'll see. I'm at least optimistic that this is making a reference to Giger.

inferior? the original design is by far scarier than what the costume came to be. In fact they tried variations trying to get the original designs look with the transparency/translucent version which never came to be. I would say Alien was less than what was originally imagined, and now that we have the technology, it will come out even more truer than ever.

Giger's designs for Alien, while brilliant, is nothing compared to the Necronomicon on which it was based. The alien is clearly based on a man in a suit. The Necronomicon is truly 'alien' - a nighmarish, erotic fusion of biology and technology. The original Alien came closest to the Necronomicon but it was still a sanitised version.

Could well be a miniature if that person was able to identify it as a Juggernaut. Otherwise he probably would just have said he saw a giant vagina or a huge piece of shrapnel or something.
Now, if that person who works near the quarry could see the Juggernaut, couldn't they have taken a picture as well? Even if it was just a pic from a phone camera?

On second thought, that still looks like Shaw.
Maybe she was Engineer-damaged? But that usually just means dead.. She could be in an autodoc. It doesn't seem to me that the cryogenic tech would require such wrapping effects. I mean, people didn't need to be wrapped in Prometheus, and then they didn't need to be wrapped in Aliens. This movie fits in the years between those films...

The cyrotube looks Submarine-like. Which I something I liked very much about Alien. The whole submarine vibe. That in combination with the very sterile environment INSIDE the chamber gives this a very CLASSIC feel. The art direction looks top-notch here. Scott is still bringing his A-game here. I'm thinking that after THE MARTIAN and PROMETHEUS we are in for something really special. This is quite an image. My biggest concern here is length. I feel PROMETHEUS was hurt by cutting it for 2 hours and giving it a pacing modern audiences like. Alien's dread has a lot to do with the time it takes. The build up and the immersion into it's sets.
I specifically think of the scene in the Ampule Chamber in comparison to the scene in the Pilot's Chamber in Alien. The pace of the editing hurts PROMETHEUS in that scene. They need to slow it down and linger. It adds to the creep factor.

The cyrotube looks Submarine-like. Which I something I liked very much about Alien. The whole submarine vibe. That in combination with the very sterile environment INSIDE the chamber gives this a very CLASSIC feel. The art direction looks top-notch here. Scott is still bringing his A-game here. I'm thinking that after THE MARTIAN and PROMETHEUS we are in for something really special. This is quite an image. My biggest concern here is length. I feel PROMETHEUS was hurt by cutting it for 2 hours and giving it a pacing modern audiences like. Alien's dread has a lot to do with the time it takes. The build up and the immersion into it's sets.
I specifically think of the scene in the Ampule Chamber in comparison to the scene in the Pilot's Chamber in Alien. The pace of the editing hurts PROMETHEUS in that scene. They need to slow it down and linger. It adds to the creep factor.

I completely agree. Slow the pace down. Stop the camera somewhere for a bit. I mean, give it the sort of pacing we see in Kubrik''s Shining. But it will never happen....

On second thought, that still looks like Shaw.
Maybe she was Engineer-damaged? But that usually just means dead.. She could be in an autodoc. It doesn't seem to me that the cryogenic tech would require such wrapping effects. I mean, people didn't need to be wrapped in Prometheus, and then they didn't need to be wrapped in Aliens. This movie fits in the years between those films...
This is a different ship. This is a new movie. Let's try out different things for each entry. Maybe this is this colony's way of doing cryosleep. Maybe it isn't even cryosleep. It's fun to bring out a new bag of tricks each time and add to the mythology.

From what we can infer from the info thus far, don't expect a patient, lingering movie. This'll likely be an action-horror film that kicks off fast.

My thought is that it looked like the reflection of a Xeno head that is bent downwards. It's not in attack/threaten mode so the mouth is either slightly open and the "gums" are covering the top row of teeth, or the mouth is completely shut and I was actually seeing both rows of teeth together.

It could be an Alien reflection, but most probably not, I can see what you mean though, about it looking like an Alien grin. First thing that came to my mind is Ridley wants the ship and stuff inside to look retro, used, like on the Nostromo.

And there was a lot more hype and expectation surrounding Prometheus than what we currently have for Alien: Covenant.

Because of what Prometheus ended up grossing. Not because of what it cost.

For sure. 'Jaws' was still a quality horror movie with a PG rating. That's the point I'm making. 'AvP-R' by comparison was uncompromisingly hyped for being an R rated movie. I'm just saying that Ratings and Quality are not the same thing.
I'll sit and watch another PG rated movie if it's the quality of 'Jaws'; and if 'ALIEN: Covenant' ends up being like 'AvP-R', I'll be very disappointed.
Mind you, I do expect to get the best of both worlds out of Scott and his team on this movie. A solid R rated movie that's worth rewatching 40 years from now. Wow... what an expectation! lol.

Absolutely.
'ALIEN: Covenant' is shaping up to be a mature horror movie experience aimed at an adult audience. I'm hoping the R-rating will be governed out of necessity as provided by the narrative rather than being dictated by gratuitous sensationalism alone. Yeah.

Usually, the higher the production budget the higher the marketing budget.
But once you go past $150 million dollars for an R-rated film you start getting diminishing returns no matter how much you advertise. You simply start running out of cinema-goers. The only way past that hurdle is to lower your rating and get the kids (with all their disposable income and free time) in.
I'd also buy it then. But the officially-released budget for studio films usually exclude marketing.

But once you go past $150 million dollars for an R-rated film you start getting diminishing returns no matter how much you advertise. You simply start running out of cinema-goers. The only way past that hurdle is to lower your rating and get the kids (with all their disposable income and free time) in.

Maybe with advertising.
I'd also buy it then. But the officially-released budget for studio films usually exclude marketing.

A wild guess would be everyone was filming in new zealand or where ever this place is and MF just happened to be in costume goofing around. In my recollection, he wasn't in any of those scenes and neither was noomy. Maybe they were going to film one and decided not too?

Maybe considering David was watching Shaw's dreams, they might have thought it good for Fassbender to witness the filming of it so he has first hand experience with how the dream plays out. Might be better for him rather than just reading it in a script. I'm just guessing though.

No, it's 100% from Prometheus. That still I just posted above is from our Prometheus gallery. Someone just cropped it and tried to pass it off as from Covenant.

So what happened to all the Alien: Covenant news, leaks and teasers?
Has the Corporal grown fat and lazy? Has Stolen been kidnapped?
Or was I correct in predicting that we'd be seeing a lot less stuff after filming wrapped?

Maybe they want to hold their cards close to their chest. But even Alien had promo material back in the day. Not sure if they ever mentioned the creature though, prior to the movie's release. Here, though, it's not much of a surprise, unless Scott tweaks or fiddles with the traditional alien forms. It wasn't a surprise in Aliens, either, with the exception of the queen. I'm feeling a similar feeling here. I know what's coming but it's going to be bigger. Shotguns, aliens (plural), dark-and-unrelenting. Express elevator to hell, goin' down (again)!

One thing is for sure, we need to get August out the way. It's a barren month. I suspect October/November will be rife

Currently, it would appear Scott is adopting a similar strategy for this movie as he did in 1978/79. No one was allowed on set. No one knew what the creature looked like. We saw a slow trickle of content in the form of magazine articles and photos. Images of the Alien were not released prior to the release of the movie (not to my knowledge, anyway.).
We did see images of the Nostromo crew and of the ship itself, both interiors and exteriors. We saw images of the derelict and the Space Jockey. These were gradually released over time in magazine articles and reviews. Specialist periodicals such as 'Starlog', 'Fantastic Films' and 'Starburst' were the main source of such content.
The amount of secrecy hasn't changed but the real achievement here is how Scott has managed to keep leaks down to almost nothing in an age where the whole World knows what's going on in an instant something gets released. That level of secrecy is an achievement on its own.
More or less, though, 'ALIEN: Covenant' is mimicking the promotional strategy of the first movie. We'll start seeing images of the crew very soon. Maybe a few spacecraft interiors and exteriors along with them. The Creatures(s) will come later. That's my theory, anyway.

Leaks are a thing of the past at this point. Now that they're in post and everything's going on behind closed doors, no one in the production's gonna risk their neck leaking anything. It'll all be official from here on in.

What's interesting about tumbleweed is that they are actually dead but they carry the spores or seeds of the original plant, so in a way they not only become fully mobile plants, but in fact zombie versions thereof. It is a plant that has long since died but it continues to do its job of carrying its seeds around.

This I can confirm. Remember that still of Waterston in the corridor? It's apparently not from the film but from a viral short directed by Luke. He directed all the viral footage and I believe there were about 6 or so promo shorts shot.
I don't know what's happening with that sequence we were supposed to have got at Comic Con but that was originally from the movie.

Unfortunately I dont know. I myslef would like to see Charles de Lauzirika
as a director of documentary, but dont know if it is probable this time.
Speaking of viral, as I said, they plan extensive campaign.
One more thing, there are rumors that the next movie will be in
theatres around 2019. I heard some information about preparation for the next one...
but they are still vague. Dont be suprised if a new director comes on board!
Thats all I know.

They just mentioned he worked as a Fassbender's
stunt on Covenant.
Van Vuuren also added that the alien world is so
immersive and rich, he even compared it to
Lord of the Rings, saying that everything is
very detailed and carefully crafted!
Of course he complimented set designs!

He was still in LA when they were shooting Covenant so probably not. Unless of course he sent someone else to do the filming while he's only doing the editing and producing.
Most likely an Aussie outfit who ended-up documenting it.

This I can confirm. Remember that still of Waterston in the corridor? It's apparently not from the film but from a viral short directed by Luke. He directed all the viral footage and I believe there were about 6 or so promo shorts shot.
I don't know what's happening with that sequence we were supposed to have got at Comic Con but that was originally from the movie.
Maybe it was that bit of Waterston in hypersleep?

I'm fine with digitigrade legs, though they could be toned back a little. Den Beauvais did a great job in drawing the aliens with basically normal legs but in digitigrade position. If you look at Aliens: Book Two (Aliens: Nightmare Asylum for some) you will see how he basically keeps the basic legs but positions them like animals with great effect. So basically, somewhere between Stompy and Kane's Son there is a sweet spot which IMO the alien legs should be at.. My 2 cents...

Actually my favorite Alien design, or more like Alien posture and body shape design are the Aliens drawn by Killian Plunkett. They're slender, gracile, have really long, fine but strong limbs and are digitrade just like the Runner/Dragon (A3), but with the torso and head and the silver grayish black biomechanoid carapace of the original Alien (Giger). If you'd ask me that's the ideal Xenomorph design hands down. It looks incredibly dangerous yet very beautiful; it looks very elegant and delicate yet very strong and tough - both at the same time. It it's humanoid without looking humanoid at all.
...Just noticed that Killian's Aliens don't have the same hind-leg foot design as the Runner/Dragon/Dog Alien. I kind of prefer the latter as they are more elegant.

That's why the motion tracker is there. Anyway, there was a build of the game where he didn't stomp his feet and it looked perfectly playable. Stomping around like he does is such a generic movie monster thing that just killed the tension for me.

Hear, hear. A slimmed down semi-spindly biomechanoid with digitigrade legs is what i'd love to see. It would be a breath of fresh air after so many years of flipper handed fleshy bug raptors.

...Just noticed that Killian's Aliens don't have the same hind-leg foot design as the Runner/Dragon/Dog Alien. I kind of prefer the latter as they are more elegant.
Hear, hear. A slimmed down semi-spindly biomechanoid with digitigrade legs is what i'd love to see. It would be a breath of fresh air after so many years of flipper handed fleshy bug raptors.
I wouldn't argue with that. Killian's Aliens are some of the best put into the comics. I definitely hope we get some sort of graceful creature.

Actually my favorite Alien design, or more like Alien posture and body shape design are the Aliens drawn by Killian Plunkett. They're slender, gracile, have really long, fine but strong limbs and are digitrade just like the Runner/Dragon (A3), but with the torso and head and the silver grayish black biomechanoid carapace of the original Alien (Giger). If you'd ask me that's the ideal Xenomorph design hands down. It looks incredibly dangerous yet very beautiful; it looks very elegant and delicate yet very strong and tough - both at the same time. It it's humanoid without looking humanoid at all.

But seriously guys, please don't incessantly bombard Wayne with questions. He's obviously a very nice guy for responding to you all but he has signed a Non-Disclosure-Agreement which means he can't really say much about the film anyway. In fact, one slip of the tongue (or keyboard if you will) and he could even get fired. Not to mention the fact that he is also super-busy right now.
The Corporal could always ask him if he'd be willing to do an Q&A here after the film has been released provided he's keen and not too busy then.

I can't stress this enough. It's great that he's here answering some questions as best he can but don't overdo it. There's very little he'll be able to say outside of oblique responses.

We're talking about the Engineer home planet, if that is indeed what that is in Covenant. It would be ridiculous if it were adjacent LV-426, and also too much of a coincidence if LV-426 and LV-427 were nowhere near each other but had such similar numbers. Anyone who plays the lottery would know.

Im not so sure. In terms of the cosmos, I think the engineers are fairly closeby e.g. same galaxy. The fact that they have hypersleep pods doesnt suggest they have unlocked the secrets to rapid or instantaneous intergalactic travel speeds and also points to their mortality and ability to age.
I would expect that since earthlings were their creations, that engineers roam within a certain radius to check on progress and observe their creations/experiments.
The homeworld could be dozens of stars away from lv426, but I couldnt imagine they are thousands of star distances away, also taking into account the human crew lifetimes of the covenant and whatever speeds they travel at.
Astrophysicists think other solar systems also have kuiper belts and oort clouds and planet-9 equivalents, so theres a lot of variety just in a single solar system.

Astrophysicists think other solar systems also have kuiper belts and oort clouds and planet-9 equivalents, so theres a lot of variety just in a single solar system.

You remember the story of good guys and bad guys ?
Put in the context of Covenant : imagine the relationship between David of Promethee and David of Covenant ! The first is free, the second is just an android.
How is the new David react by discovering this?

I strongly doubt it's Shaw, he's got to be referring to Fassbender, for he wasn't explicitly a villain per se in Prometheus; he exploited programming loop-holes I guess with his response to Holloway's "Anything and everything", but he was following orders after all, but now that he has been "free" for a decade - on a planet full of bio-mechanical delights no less - well...

David from Prometheus will stir all the curiosity and interest of the new crew. He played alone in his world for years and has certainly discovered things about him and humanity.
David from Covenant could be obsolete by comparison. Completely in shadow. And I think that his meeting with the old David can wake him.
Obviously this is a simplistic summary, but we know that Ridley Scott is a genius on the development of androids. (Ash, Blade Runner and David).
Michael Fassbender will shine, no doubt!

I expect David to be strange toward him because he is his only equal. And/or I expect David to experiment on him, feeling he is a god and the new David is not. So either they team up or David uses him conflictedly.

This is from a chain of Tweets between a a film blogger/podcaster and someone:

Test Screenings do not often reflect the core group that is going to see a film like this. It's like the members of the MPAA ratings board.
The second point I would like to make is they will hold said screening in the USA, as they always hold them in the USA. Prometheus did not do well domestically and was way better accepted internationally, so do you hold said screening in the US or abroad? Do you do both or do you just let North America decide and possibly alienate the larger market for your film?
Knowing Fox they will go the easy route and just test it in the USA. I am shocked if they would already be doing a test screening. That will be a lot of half done elements unless production is way further along than any of us assumed it to be.

He's set a standard that I think would be hard to live up to. If he is working on Star Wars that'd be another dream gig for him. IIRC he's a huge Star Wars fan.

I'll admit, the prospect of him doing behind the scenes coverage for Star Wars is quite appealing. Still, at the end of the day I'd hope for his involvement with Covenant above all. I honestly think The Furious Gods was one of the coolest things to come out of the entire Prometheus production, and it would be nice to at least have another doc of that calibre regardless of how this one turns out. ;D
Who knows though. Whatever he's been up to I'd say it's still possible he could've had someone on site shooting for him.

No doubt. I would rather have CdL working on Alien: Covenant (I don't care enough about SW for that). His work on the Quadrilogy essentially spoiled all other DVD releases for me. And that's not an exaggeration. I expect that kind of quality now. If not, I'm disappointed.

A would be a cool idea because a facehugger looks like a spine and a ribcage:
I can imagine a scenario where the black goo transforms someone's spine/ribcage into a facehugger and it bursts out in a gory sequence (like the spine rip in Predator almost). Then it runs off to facehug an unfortunate victim.

I think it is always a possibility, but I would think that an announcement would be made regarding same and not be left in the realm of speculation. From the gentleman's post (the extra), I don't get the impression that he knows all that much about the film's release and may have just been throwing out something he heard second-hand. Anyway, anything is possible.

As I mentioned in your Alien: Covenant Music thread, my guesstimate for earliest they could probably finish the film is March. Tight, but do-able.
But lets not get ahead of ourselves here, it's only an offhand remark by an extra. Nothing concrete yet.

I saw him the other day and just shrugged it off as "I think I might have already seen this", until I stopped and looked at pictures of him and thought, "I wonder who he is playing"? I think the cast is around 16 (kind of similar to Prometheus); makes me wonder if the crew of the Covenant will encounter one last remaining Engineer (similar to the thinner, paler ones in the deleted scenes from Prometheus)? The guy certainly has an interesting appearance. Look at the character Lampay Fay that he played in Star Wars Episode III (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lampay_Fay), and Anubis in Gods of Egypt (I can't find a clear shot of the character alone and I haven't seen the film); seems like he has done work with prostheses and special effects.

I've let my hair grow out and today I've gotten it cut back into its original shape. Never again will I want to get my head shaved, but you gotta do what you gotta do to achieve your goals
And this fellow is playing an Engineer. ^^
I was trying to ask how many other Engineer extras there were and he said:QuoteThere was around 30-50 extras
I'm not sure if he meant Engineers so I left another message saying that's a lot of blue guys and he liked the reply.
27 June on his Facebook
QuoteToday was my first and last day of shooting the film. I Had to be at the set at 5am and I was there 13 hours. It was freezing cold, It was tiring, I've had to shave my head for this role, along with me Some Other extras-have injuries from Reviews some of the scenes We Were shooting (I've hurt my foot) and I'm tired AF. Purpose gravement I can not complain. The experience was amazing, I had a lot of fun shooting the film
So I don't think we talk petrified body. Maybe they'll play (dead?) engineers.
I found the reactions of extras on this topic (same period)

I think it is always a possibility, but I would think that an announcement would be made regarding same and not be left in the realm of speculation. From the gentleman's post (the extra), I don't get the impression that he knows all that much about the film's release and may have just been throwing out something he heard second-hand. Anyway, anything is possible.
I havent said that he knows anything. I ve said its curious he said that, because I heard reliable stories regarding date realise ;) They ll push the realise date, but we still dont know the exact date (maybe earlier in july, maybe in may or even march). This is confirmed news! ;) ;D Maybe they ll announceit realise date change with first teaser trailer late this year.
Would Fox really want to release it and "Old Man Logan"/Wovlerine 3 in the same month? That seems like 2 "a" list, possibly "R" rated movies in the same month. April "Furious 8" or whatever sequel is coming out. Actually unless major moves happen August is easily the best month to release it. That summer is brutal and any earlier it might get lost in the shuffle (GotG 2, Spider-Man, War of the Planet of the Apes (also Fox), Transformers, Wonder Woman, etc). If they could move it earlier, February seems logically like the best time, like late Feb. All that is real competition to it that month is The Dark Tower (and Deadpool proved you can have a blockbuster "R" feb debut). September would also work.
2017 is a nightmare, I hope this doesn't get lost in the summer blockbuster shuffle.

I don't believe we'll see that 3rd image (sketch) come to life in covenant. Its waaay too much for the movie execs, and takes it beyond AVP2 in terms of gruesome gore.
You can only disfigure or maim the human form so much to create monsters before it crosses a line on several levels - not least, taste. With an Alien monster you can get away with much more exactly because its alien and less resembling the human form.

Does it really cross over that far? Like beyond the possibly nudity, it really isn't that far removed from imagery used in "The Thing" or some of David Cronenberg's films. I don't see it as all that extreme gore wise, more I just don't see it fitting the established rules of the series all that well. Not that there is anything wrong with breaking rules and conventions when it comes to a film, but that would be a really weird direction to go it and would be an uphill battle having the fans accept it.

Found this tidbit:
http://www.ausfilm.com.au/what-we-do/campaigns/60-seconds/paul-butterworth/
QuoteIn the last few years, we've seen exciting development in how we capture an image, from high-quality 4K digital cameras, stereo 3D and light field capture. An area I'm most excited about is high dynamic range capture & projection. I'm personally not interested in more resolution, I just want to see greater quality in the colours we see.
In rendering, we're seeing developments in unbiased rendering which gives you unparalleled photo-real quality. At Animal Logic we have our own unbiased renderer called Glimpse, which is simply amazing! You'll see this software in our work for the upcoming LEGO® films, and our work on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Alien: Covenant.
Real-time rendering is becoming a useful toolset. We can now block out a scene, capture the results and cut these 'moments' together like live action. This gives us greater freedom to tell a story.

Or it was for the rumoured test screening yesterday (did anyone hear a concrete report on what was actually screened yesterday).
The other possibility is they are doing a cut to see if any re-shoots are needed.
I'm also still convinced moving the release date forward actually helps the movie at all, No, I have zero insider information, just the knowledge of established release dates. Personally i would love to see it earlier but only if it helps the film perform better at the box office while still being at the quality level we all want.

I don't about Gregson. His main themes are pretty good but he's one of those modern digital glitchy highly synthethic sounding composers. It all just sounds like crappy computer sounds.
I liked The Martian's soundtrack. It gave a lot of texture to the visuals without calling attention to itself.

Ideed. He knows how to do orchestral and
electronic music as well. But synthesizer was something new
to him at the beginning of his movie music career. I watched several
clips with him, and he explained that!

Goldenhal's - most interesting overall (sampled/environmental sound mixed with orchestra done right), some great musical themes.
Horner's - most effective and thrilling overall in the whole series. Most exciting, hypes up the action even more so while still being a classical orchestral Hollywood soundtrack.
Goldsmiths - when I go back and watch Alien I'm alway's surprised and intrigued by how mysterious and non horror soundtrack the music is. It's very thematically rich. It's a more traditional science fiction score than what you'd expect when you think of the horror of the movie. Also some great and hugely effective uses of minimalist electronics as well. Such as the heartbeat in the Brett sequence, the camera swing in the Space Jockey room.

On a side note if Hollywood composers work so late in the process re: Rogue One change announced recently. Does that mean Covenant is near the end of the line? Surely it must have tons of effects work to do on it right?

I love Gregson Williams, especially when working with Scott. Soundtrack of Kingdom Of Heaven is perfect. The Martian is his best since a long time. And what he did on Prometheus is grandiose.
Generally the music recording is done when the editing is well advanced...

Definitely it's a possibility. Problem: March is a month of big release. While August is misery, no competition, Alien Covenant should crush everything ($ 150M)
Then if it comes out in March, this means a teaser very very soon.
Luke Scott has confirmed shoot viral videos for Covenant.

I've lurked on this board since Jesus, I remember the Planet AvP days, and one thing that I feel comes with the territory of fanbase communities like ours is a lot of gossip and fabrication. Personally, I take everything said along the lines of "x will be done tomorrow" with a airplane carrier sized grain of salt. Unless I see something in writing, I don't believe it. While advances have been made in editing and production, the silence we have been privy to with regard to any substantial news is indicative of the crew working hard on their assignments. Oh, not to mention the legal ramifications that come from actually spilling vital information about the film—there's always that.

Absolutely nothing official, but I know how Scott (+his team) works. And he works very fast (14 hours a day). The post production will last 6-7 months.
The first month he made a rough cut. It must be 3 hours.
Then it will easily cut 25 minutes.
This second editing will be refined with addition of music (sometimes temporary) work sound mixing, VFX (not completed) ...
After that they can do test screenings, then they will work again mounting. May be reshoot some scenes.
And they will begin the final cut.
This is the same method of work for Prometheus, Counselor, Exodus, The Martian. And he will soon begin pre-production for his next film.

I'm just bored of traditional instruments in soundtracks currently as it always ends up sounding way over the top. I was hoping for something more pure digital/serialist. Something really cold and removed feeling and sounds. I really wanted a more inhuman/out there sound track for this one.

Just because they are writing and recording 'traditionally' doesnt mean they aren't digitally processing or adding effects. Also, while I love electronic scores, its 2016, a digital or electronic score is hardly anything new or groundbreaking. Especially in a Ridley Scott film.
You might be surprised, if you did some digging, just how much of the scores in Alien films were enhanced by digital filters, effect processed and even recorded backwards.

I'm a professional sound engineer with enough signal processing in this room to fill a large u-haul (I have a side business of renting out the rare pieces to local studios). I understand what they are doing, I was just hoping they were going to go in a really really different direction. I also understand the amount of processing and sculpting going on in most scores, just it isn't very interesting to me mostly because it isn't completely manipulated or it is weirdly combined with untreated instruments and causes a awkward juxtaposition of sounds that doesn't always work (in my mind and for me).
Suggesting I read up assumes I have zero knowledge, and that is as far from reality as possible. Just because it is manipulated doesn't mean it is interesting (to me),
Maybe I'll be shocked and enjoy this score, but looking at the composers IMDB credits suggests otherwise.
I just wish modern scores took a few more risks. Compose an entire score in something like C-Sound. I also understand that would add a completely inhuman element to the picture, and the general audience wants things they can connect with easily. I also understand my disappointment in this is the disappointment of a person really into a very specific niche market, and doesn't reflect anyone else on earth but myself. I'd just love it if something in this genre took cues from say, the Solaris Soundtrack (the Eduard Artemiev 1972 version) and took it even further (stripping away a lot of the normal elements of it). I think that vibe would work perfectly for an ALIEN film.
Also, just to clarify I am only speaking for myself. I understand the majority of people wouldn't be cool with these ideas.
I am also fully willing to admit i am totally f**king wrong on some things, I am actually relisting to the ALIEN 3 score. It definitely has some really bad ass parts to it. The Strings I am not huge on, but the drone elements are really nice and expansive. I've added it to the list of films I need a physical copy of the score of. There is definitely some really cool parts in there.

Most soundtracks are boring these days because A) They're all copies of each other and B) many Hollywood directors these days specifically request the soundtrack not be too noticeable.
Alien's soundtrack has a lot of wonderful unconventional instruments making unconventional noises that I've missed from the series ever since. Going full synth, though, I don't see how it'd be any better (or worse). Just different. There's plenty of shit synth stuff out there.

Great analysis, and a very true one! I must admit that I very well remembered the tune of Life track from Prometheus, that french horn intro is very memorable, just saying... maybe thats the indication we ll hear some fine, fresher and bolder music in Covenant, but that doesnt only depend on composer...
P.S. Many people said that Harry Gregson-Williams did a good job on Prometheus (on those two tracks), but his music
was not so appropriate for particular scenes, that is in some extent true, but dont forget that he was not the chief composer on that move, he wasnt even credited... he just did an additional music, and that can be a reason for that music-scene partial mismatch...
I like that syntagm: creative unoriginality ;D It describes the current state of affairs in movie music :)
Speaking of that... isnt all the great movie music copied version of famous classical peaces:
Listen to this:
Sergei Rachmaninov - The Isle Of The Dead
https://youtu.be/VIpdYeexpX0?t=13m49s
and compare it with Harry Potter - John Wiliams
https://youtu.be/1Li0SWlwe34?t=2m48s
And the most ingenious example
One of the greatest soundtracks is also a copy work
Schindler's List Theme - by magnanimous John Williams
Mahler Symphony 8, 1st movement
https://youtu.be/-Wi1j-rpcEw?t=5m31s

But what I can say is that he is a member of the covenant. It's awesome. Working with Ridley Scott, Michael Fassbender, Carmen Ejogo, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride. Such an excellent crew. I've been so blessed in these casts that we are actually cool with each other. I haven't run into any casts that I've worked with where it's been like, "God, I hate these people! I wanna go home!" It's always been cool. That was a great time. I don't know if that answers any of your questions about Alien. It's going to be dope. It comes out August, 4 2017, and it's pretty incredible. Kinda scary.

That score is abstract meaning that each player can play it differently with different notes but following the written tempos, dynamics and such stuff. This score is for viola (creepiness guaranteed)... meaning that the music will sound pretty much like Goldsmiths and already mentioned Scelsi... psycho strings, mysterious flutes, some strange ambience and a bit of deep brass, plus digital elements... maybe something more.
One thing is completely certain, it will be very creepy. For what kind of scenes is this music composed? :o
We can only imagine!
I believe the title for this track is LIBERTY... interesting, isnt it?
Liberty as a motif and theme is wildly explored in Miltons Paradise Lost:
http://www.libertymagazine.org/article/liberty-in-paradise
We choose :) Interesting thing in Alien franchise is that everyone know how dreadful that organism is (Company knows that. Instructions from Mother to Ash suggest that they knew even the anatomy of the creature, so they knew about organism in Aliens too; so someone will return from Covenant mission!!!) and humans/Weyland-Yutani still want to acquire it. The human nature is on the test, who is the monster, Xeno or humans? Ultimately who is the creator of such organism, I believe we ll have to guess at the end of this trilogy. Its all just a series of events of those with free will, but bad things happen when there is too much LIBERTY!

http://www.libertymagazine.org/article/liberty-in-paradise
QuoteThe theological liberty expressed by John Milton in Paradise Lost manifests itself most clearly in the discussion of free will presented throughout the book. Milton had earlier in his career argued for greater religious tolerance in Britain through his publishing of Aeropagitica, and in Paradise Lost extends that debate to argue that the idea of liberty is divinely placed within human consciousness. (What would happen when robot becomes free?)
In the story, God prevents neither Satan's descent into hell, nor the fall of humanity, and for both rebellious parties Paradise is lost. In the epic, God famously makes humans to be "sufficient to have stood, though free to fall" (Book III, line 99), and when an angel visits Adam and Eve in Eden, he declares them to be created good but with a will "ordained... by nature free, not overruled by Fate" (Book V, lines 526, 527). According to the author, that liberty to choose extends to the realms of the angels also, as their Edenic visitor also explains, saying, "Freely we serve, because we freely love, as in our will to love or not" (lines 538-540).

QuoteElizabeth Shaw: What happens when Weyland is not around to program you anymore?
David: I suppose I'll be free.
Elizabeth Shaw: You want that?
David: "Want"? Not a concept I'm familiar with. That being said, doesn't everyone want their parents dead?/ their CREATORS :)
Elizabeth Shaw: I didn't.
But she left for Paradise, she wants answers from her creators/parents... And what kind of answers she
expects to get?

Quote from: fiveways on Oct 02, 2016, 12:51:39 AMOk man. Im glad to see the clarity here and actually agree with a lot of what you are saying regarding the lack of really avante garde stuff in scores but I think I based my response to you on what you wrote and what you wrote initially did not sound like what you just wrote here. I am an elecrtonic musician and I a professional camera operator. I have experience writing score for shorts Ive done and was personally very unhappy with the score to Prometheus but love the score to The Martian.Quote from: CainsSon on Oct 01, 2016, 07:43:22 PMQuote from: fiveways on Sep 30, 2016, 05:26:18 PM
As beautiful as that studio is and as great as that room sounds, I'm probably the only person here disappointed in seeing photos of an orchestra.
I'm just bored of traditional instruments in soundtracks currently as it always ends up sounding way over the top. I was hoping for something more pure digital/serialist. Something really cold and removed feeling and sounds. I really wanted a more inhuman/out there sound track for this one.
Just because they are writing and recording 'traditionally' doesnt mean they aren't digitally processing or adding effects. Also, while I love electronic scores, its 2016, a digital or electronic score is hardly anything new or groundbreaking. Especially in a Ridley Scott film.
You might be surprised, if you did some digging, just how much of the scores in Alien films were enhanced by digital filters, effect processed and even recorded backwards.
I'm a professional sound engineer with enough signal processing in this room to fill a large u-haul (I have a side business of renting out the rare pieces to local studios). I understand what they are doing, I was just hoping they were going to go in a really really different direction. I also understand the amount of processing and sculpting going on in most scores, just it isn't very interesting to me mostly because it isn't completely manipulated or it is weirdly combined with untreated instruments and causes a awkward juxtaposition of sounds that doesn't always work (in my mind and for me).
Suggesting I read up assumes I have zero knowledge, and that is as far from reality as possible. Just because it is manipulated doesn't mean it is interesting (to me),
Maybe I'll be shocked and enjoy this score, but looking at the composers IMDB credits suggests otherwise.
I just wish modern scores took a few more risks. Compose an entire score in something like C-Sound. I also understand that would add a completely inhuman element to the picture, and the general audience wants things they can connect with easily. I also understand my disappointment in this is the disappointment of a person really into a very specific niche market, and doesn't reflect anyone else on earth but myself. I'd just love it if something in this genre took cues from say, the Solaris Soundtrack (the Eduard Artemiev 1972 version) and took it even further (stripping away a lot of the normal elements of it). I think that vibe would work perfectly for an ALIEN film.
Also, just to clarify I am only speaking for myself. I understand the majority of people wouldn't be cool with these ideas.
I am also fully willing to admit i am totally f**king wrong on some things, I am actually relisting to the ALIEN 3 score. It definitely has some really bad ass parts to it. The Strings I am not huge on, but the drone elements are really nice and expansive. I've added it to the list of films I need a physical copy of the score of. There is definitely some really cool parts in there.
In truth what Id like to hear is more sampling used in scores all around, its sometimes a hard sell to really get a film with a market this large to do things like you ask but i would argue that this seems more likely these days than ever before so i still disagree with your saying this is a symptom of this time in film. Weve had oscar nominated scores that were very electronic and people like clint mansel, trent reznor and atticus ross, cliff martinez and even mark mothersbaugh making quite a living being experimental with film score. If anything id say the issue is they dont wanna stray too far from whats come before in this series. But i agree that i would like to see them really switch it up.

That ok, but the sound of Alien/Xenomorph can not be just electronic or ambiental or computerized for that matter.
It needs to have some primordial feel to it also, and how to get that without orchestra and some ancient instruments.
Xeno is primordial, ancient, mysterious... computer and synth can not describe the horror of such an organism.I want to hear some kind of elegant mix with more classical elements. Goldenthals soundtrack is the last evolution phase of Alien music. He created a perfect music for such Universe using Goldsmiths and Horners established music and introducing something new and more fitting to the themes of Alien movies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD3vlWcVhks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD3vlWcVhks)
This kind of music could very well be implemented in Alien soundtrack,
but I would like orchestral elements!!!!

That said, it's when I expect we'll be seeing a trailer and it is a Fox film so it's not unlikely.
Time dilation seems too obvious, its the whole crux in which the character drama revolves around (great book!)...perhaps it's something more akin to not being able to understand the enemy?

I was planning on seeing Assassin's Creed anyway (man crush on Fassbender and unlimited film card) so it would be a nice bonus to see the trailer up on the big screen. I don't think I ever caught Prometheus' trailer on the cinema. I do remember catching AvP's before I Robot though. :)

Could have something to do with David finding everything around him changing and dying while he stays the same
That could be an interesting take on it. But I don't feel that enough time will have passed for that to be an issue for David yet.

Maybe its that. Not understanding "the ways of god"... but its too vague. Its a small novel,
I ll read it and write my ideas. I think its something more specific! I didnt like the idea of time dilation,
that would be too obvious and too repetitive for sci fi movies (Interstellar)...
Or maybe this is the thing: humans were created only to serve as a mean of war, maybe clones...

I'm unsure if this is an authentic account (I'm checking with PR) but the Alien: Covenant Official Instagram account is claiming we'll be getting a trailer with Assasain's Creed: https://www.instagram.com/p/BLHYkwiBiIK/Quote"Pleased to announce the first official @aliencovenant teaser will debut along with the #assasinscreed film. #aliencovenant #alien #teaser #20thcenturyfox"
That said, it's when I expect we'll be seeing a trailer and it is a Fox film so it's not unlikely.Quote from: Enoch on Oct 03, 2016, 11:49:52 PM
So he now wants to use ideas from Forever War in Covenant... that can be a very good thing!
I suspect Ridley will use time dilation effect in Covenant, we shall see in what way! Or maybe he ll describe the story of Engineers explaining in that way destiny of humanity and hinting the origin of Xeno... like Milton did whit Satan. Joe Haldeman did the sam in his novel...
Time dilation seems too obvious, its the whole crux in which the character drama revolves around (great book!)...perhaps it's something more akin to not being able to understand the enemy?
I'm not convinced it's the legit Instagram account. I think they've just taken a punt on when the trailer will be released, albeit, an obvious one. Isn't that first picture a fan made poster? And why wouldn't they have broke any pictures or snippets like @alienanthology has?

FAKE or not, it seems like an awfully big missed opportunity for FOX not to have, at the very least, a teaser floating around for theatres to trail onto STAR WARS in December.
I worked as an IMAX projectionist for years and the corporate theatre chains, like AMC or Regal for instance, are the ones who decide what trailers they attach, APART from the ones that come from the same studio as the feature you are seeing.
In other words, it may be that DISNEY publicly announces that a full length WRECK IT RALPH 2 trailer be attached to it's STAR WARS opening weekend, but it is up to the theatre chain to decide which trailers it will also include from other studios, in their STAR WARS playlist.
The studios know that. So it would be a huge missed opportunity for FOX to let the flagpole of something like the massive STAR WARS fanbase, not get to see an ALIEN COVENANT teaser.
For that reason. I'm almost willing to bet $ that there will be one by STAR WARS.
If we don't see it by then, I expect that FOX will be using secrecy as a PR angle, to generate hype, all the way up until the film's release.

It's too early to know if there will be a teaser or trailer in December. Date is generally known a week in advance, sometimes less.
And Fox has not released trailer for none movie of 2017, I think. So wait trailer of Wolverine and War For The Planet Of The Apes before the Covenant gold teaser.

It might work in theaters to a certain extent but an Alien: Covenant trailer/teaser released online would just get drowned out by the sheer amount of Star Wars hype. There's going to be tons of Rogue One TV Spots, all the various international trailers, film clips, interviews etc...
It would make much more sense to release a Covenant trailer or teaser when the Star Wars fever has died down a bit.

Assassins Creed ------ Fassbender.
Game franchise is very popular and I believe the movie

plus all those who like such thematic. I was thinking in terms of audience numbers,
Assassins Creed could be a fine opportunity to promote Alien because of similar audience type
(same goes for Star Wars).

Does America tend to attach trailers for R-rated movies to PG-13 ones?
Yes. They have a trailer rating system believe it or not. SMH. Green Banded trailers are approved for all audiences and Red Banded trailers are only approved to be released with R-Rated films, since the red banded ones have R-Rated content. Green banded trailers don't show any R-rated content.

designers or?

The more they have on their plate the more people they hire. The staff of these VFX houses ebb and swell depending on their workload. When a particular project is finished the VFX artists often scatter to other facilities where there is currently a demand for skilled labour. They usually do keep a core/skeleton staff of permanent senior personal at all times.

NYCC isn't done yet, Himmel. It's the whole weekend. There's no way we'll be getting a trailer. Far too early. We already have some key art so if we do get a poster, it'd likely feature that artwork. Not guaranteed, but likely. We also know they had something they were going to show at SDCC so perhaps that footage will be used instead. I believe they also showed something off at an industry expo earlier this year. It's also not unreasonable we'll get some sort of teaser like the Prometheus Comic Con teaser.

Blomkamp wrote on his Instagram profile: Working on new things. Currently not alien
But maybe he was speaking about Alien 5... so maybe Ridley has chosen him to direct Covenant sequel first.

But maybe he was speaking about Alien 5... so maybe Ridley has chosen him to direct Covenant sequel first.

I believe he is currently scouting locations in South Africa for Covenant sequel, who wants to bet?
Maybe we ll even see Ripley in Covenant sequel (somehow)... Ridley spoke about Ripley connection and that stuff

I strongly believe that Blomkamp is already preparing Covenant sequel...
So maybe he ll do Alien Genesis before alien 5 ???
Contradiction in Neills post and Lukes one...or perhaps not???

Quote from: Enoch on Oct 08, 2016, 02:15:43 PMI'm confused... here is why: On Luke's post it is hash-tagged #tbt; I'm wondering if this was from an early iteration of Prometheus that was later discarded. But then, however, we have Neill's post talking about him not working on something Alien-related; but, the image is the same as Luke's of the Engineer... Luke isn't listed as the DP on Prometheus, that was Darius. So... I'm not sure WTF is going on here.. ???
I don't think so, because of Neill's Instagram post...
EDIT: Just saw Stolen's post.

I was thinking along the lines of a member Q&A. Like we had with S.D Perry a couple of years ago in the WYR forum. Just open a new thread and create a guest or special person account for Wayne. He can then answer members questions whenever he has the time.
Just remember to put a time limit on the thread and lock it after it has expired, otherwise he'll still be fielding questions on here in fifty years time! :)
Probably also a good idea to limit members to only about two or three questions each.
And then do a separate Skype podcast where you and he can just chat, relax and reminisce together.

Sounds great! I personally can't wait to get a bit of insight into Wayne's experiences working on the film and his approach to the work he has done for the new Alien. I wonder what works he researched before boarding the Covenant with Ridley and the rest of the crew. This will be a great insight I'm sure and Wayne seems like a real genuinely nice guy. It's fantastic that he has agreed to free up Some time from what I'm sure is a very busy schedule to answer some questions from a few die hard Alien nuts like ourselves ;D

Another possible leaked info from Covenant.... I know it's imdb... but you never know..
Spoiler
Ellen Ripley's mother isn't involved with any "Alien Moments"
Instead she involved with the good David synthetic throughout. The bad David activates a irruption in the good Synthetic memory CPU. This makes his trigger-happy hands on a magazine go into a viral bloodbath.
TMZ found out Michael Fassbender was so disgusted having to do such scene. Ridley Scott had to console him.

I think Prometheus had far more leaks than Covenant has had. We'd had dozens of set pictures, lots more potential casting news, leaked footage from NYCC, etc. It feels like they've kept a much tighter lid on Covenant than they did Prometheus.
Just a general note fellas, I was thinking about it earlier in regards to the scoring stuff we found. If we find something that is potentially bigger than just an off-handed comment on social media, please do make a brand new thread for it. We don't need to keep it all contained to this one thread.

Yea, I think Prometheus did have more leaks etc by this stage in its production. I was just thinking today about how during Prometheus' production the big fan debate and/or query was 'is this an alien film?' With fans clamoring over any piece of set leaks to find the answer to that question. However this time around no-one is asking that question at all. Looking at the pics of the expo with the merch exhibition along with the newly designed poster, 20th Century Fox also seem to very keenly align this new film with the Alien movies. I'm looking forward to the first proper Alien movie in a long time.

Its funny you say that. I get the feeling there will be LESS ALIEN in this than the titling is suggesting. That's not to say that this isn't an ALIEN film, but lets be clear - PROMETHEUS was an ALIEN film. And they were in a tough spot because had they titled it ALIEN: PROMETHEUS or ALIEN: whatever - They would have set themselves up for fan disappointment but I think ultimately fans would have accepted it as more of what it was meant to be.
In this case, I think that they are trying to assure fans by calling this ALIEN: COVENANT, when in fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if the ALIEN doesn't feature in it as much as it does in the rest of the "ALIEN" films.
I think we will find that 'COVENANT' is the more appropriate title of this film, and tagging 'ALIEN' onto it is just a way to assure the connection to the series so they dont repeat the confusion or backlash of PROMETHEUS.
Curious about what everyone else expects here.

From what McBride has said, the Alien is gonna be chasing after people, or something to that effect. But I'm thinking the Alien will only feature in this film, maybe as a result from something else happening, but it won't be the primordial aspect of the film.

From everything said so far, I'm led to believe the film will be: thematically deep like Prometheus, big in scope like Prometheus, and scary like Alien with the chasing and the gore and the dark atmosphere.
It won't just be the slasher paradigm, but it will still have that stuff. Remember when lindelof said this about the Alien elements in Prometheus, "it'll be an afterthought as opposed to the bricks upon which the foundation is built"? Well I think the Alien elements will not be as sparse as they were in Prometheus but not as prevalent as it is in a usual Alien film.
Instead of the 80/20 New elements:Traditional elements ratio Prometheus had, I'm thinking 55/45 for AC.

Sounds great. I pray almost on a daily basis that part or most of the movie is based on a huge spaceship, not the medium sized Sulaco and Prometheus types but a Nostromo or Auriga sized one with a bit more of a rusty industrial look. Another great type (or at least the way I remember reading about it) is the Spaceship Virginia from the Alien Cauldron novel. Heck anything in Defiance would work well too.
I just want to see an Alien stalking a crew who have never seen an Alien before and aren't ready to deal with this situation but at the same time land somewhere before or afterwards and discover new eerie stuff.
I hope there's only one gunshot in the movie. The one that the final survivor uses on themselves lol. Than bring a new crew for the next movie. :)

I definitely think the alien will be in the movie, didn't Ridley at one point say each iteration of the creature would be in it? Along with one of the David's - I think the 'big boy'/'big chap' will be the main antagonist. In the first movie, isn't the actual alien only seen for little over ten minutes of the full 2 hour length film? I'm guessing, and hoping, that the film will be a bigger (thematically) version of the first movie.

This is interesting. You know we actually have no idea if this film will also restore the claustrophobic aspect of the series. I think this was sorely missing from A:R, even parts of A3, and especially PROMETHEUS. Some of those snippets we got on Twitter of corridors looked like we may get to see some of the claustrophobic sets that made Alien and Aliens work so well. But we really don't know. The only hint we've gotten there is Fassbender saying it will have the same 'scope' as PROMETHEUS.

This maybe bts on Covenant. It looks like the fella doing the injection is wearing a Covenant cap.

So like... yeeeeeah. Whatcha doin 20th Century Fox?!?!? Covenant is due out NEXT SUMMER and were all over just like no teasers, no major leaks, no official set pictures, NADA! Outside of a few random bits and pieces that popped up on Twitter thru filming, weve go NO idea whats going on.

eh, you know what i mean... no MAJOR set photos have been released much like Prometheus did with the head/mural room and various other locations. all weve had are a few animated corridor shots (with nothing in them), one shot of whats her face resting with her shotgun, a small snippet of the inside of a cockpit aaaaaaaaaaaand the urn room that Scott was doing a small interview in. nothing that really gives away anything SUPER mysterious like the giant head did (and all the urns set around the head).
i didnt really know the exact release date of Guardians, all it said was "SUMMER" at the end of the teaser.
im just keeping my fingers crossed well see a teaser for Covenant by the end of the year!

The gun is somewhat brighter and looks like its on a different layer. It's hard to tell if it's actually her face.

I don't get spoiled part, everything that's been released is stuff that we have seen before. I think there is that giant floating tako thing on the wall under the facehugger print but aside from that nothing. Heck there seems to be some duck-bones behind the facehugger... I suppose David loves ducks in the same way Android 16 loves birds? Still nothing to really blow ones mind.

Yah, nothing really all that revealing, don't think the camera will spend too much time on those items, most of which seem to be Prometheus concept material.

Yes I don't think the images contained heavy spoilers either. After having gone so long without hearing or seeing anything at all from the film, suddenly we get a few news worthy updates in such a short space of time which is great, i.e the Neomorph scoop, then the pics of David's chamber, then finally the scoop revealing Pearce's return. None of which are really big spoilers mind, just feels good to have finally gotten some more info to help tide us over until some new stuff gets dropped. Maybe even a teaser. Here's hoping.

From the lads at Perfect Organism. It's not particularly spoilery but it's legit.

Spoiler
We here at Perfect Organism aren't privy to, too many scoops, but we have learned today, through confirmed multiple sources (that worked on the set of the film) that many of the characters we will see in ALIEN : Covenant will be couples, on board the ship (Covenant), and the energy will be a very charged emotional one, particularly, Daniels, the lead, played by Catherine Waterston.
Continuing...it's also been confirmed that much of the dialogue and characters feel natural, believable, and very real, taking a page right out of Alien. The reports we've received confirms that it took a bit of time for the actors to find their chemistry together...

The first trailer of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (July 2017) will come out this week,. We've had teaser for Guardians Vol.2, Life, Pirates 5, Wonder Woman, Dunkirk.
I think a first teaser is for a very very near future.
The first teaser of Prometheus was illegally released on November 20. The end date of filming is more or less the same for Covenant, I think it's possible that something ready for us at that time.

Just a cool little story. I've shared this particular lady before. She says she didn't work on it in this comment but she's talked about having a bit part on it previously -
QuoteThere's no knowing how it works sometimes or how it will come together. What dreams do come true.
During the filming of Alien Covenant one young lady had the task of bringing Ridley's coffee to him everyday. Over the course of filming they got know each other.
She informs Ridley she is an aspiring actress. He tells her to shoot over her demo reel.
She is cast in his next film.
There's know knowing really what formula it will take to make dreams come true.
I'm getting the Alien Covenant Mac Pack for me to unwrap. Didn't even work on the film but scored a crew gift pack. Still happy.

The end date of filming has absolutely nothing to do with when a teaser will be released.
The theatrical release date of the film is what is relevant and Prometheus was released more than 2 months ahead of Covenant's corresponding time-frame.

Ridley Scott avoided watching Alien 3 (1992) after it was released, and strongly disliked it when he finally saw it decades later. After this, he came up with the idea of making a "sequel-substitution", which then became this after many rewrites.

Anyone see this on IMDb.....
Ridley Scott avoided watching Alien 3 (1992) after it was released, and strongly disliked it when he finally saw it decades later. After this, he came up with the idea of making a "sequel-substitution", which then became this after many rewrites.
You know the rules when it comes to IMDB. :laugh: Is that from their Covvie page?
Yeah its under the (Did you know section.)

Lol, so false. We all know better than to believe anything on IMDb, come on guys.
http://www.heyuguys.com/prometheus-writer-damon-lindelof-talks-engineers-alien-family-tree-the-sequels-opening-scene/
Lindelof interview:
"In your conversations with Ridley did you discuss the other Alien films?
He hasn't seen the Alien Vs. Predator films, he likes Cameron's sequel but he admits to feeling a little conflicted that he was passed over in terms of directing the sequel. He's a huge Fincher fan and feels sorry that David was so hamstrung in terms of what he could and could not do in terms of Alien 3 and while he acknowledges that it's a beautiful looking film I think he wishes that Fincher would have been allowed to do what Fincher does on that film. I have a feeling that if Alien 3 had been Fincher's third film instead of his first then it would have been up there in the pantheon of great sci-fi. We didn't talk about Resurrection."
Additionally, Ridley also visited the Alien 3 set and gave Fincher career advice, and his son worked on the film.

Unknown, neither Valaquen nor xeno_alpha_07 can remember the name of the docu.
Here is another interview with Fincher from The Independent in 1992:
I always thought Ridley was brilliant and I never appreciated how brilliant he was until I tried to make this movie. Actually he came down to the set once when we were setting fire to something. In he walked with his silk suit and one of his big Cuban cigars, looking fabulous. Ridley asked how it was going and I said, 'Really bad.' And he said, 'It never goes well ... this is not the way to make movies, make sure you make a little film where you have some control whilst they're beating you up."
~ David Fincher, The Independent, 1992.

At least in Canada, before Alien3 came out, Fox released a 3-pack VHS set of Alien, Aliens, & the Making of Alien3... and yes, the latter is included in the Anthology blu-ray. I remember it had the 'Kane descends into the egg silo' music playing over the end credits (unavailable elsewhere at the time), and included the theatrical trailer.

Just forwarding :)
Perhaps its Covenant?
Seems he was referring to Wonder Woman.
Yeah, judging from that list would appear to be Wonder Woman.Quote from: BonesawT101 on Nov 14, 2016, 08:25:15 PM
Just found this on twitter, it would seem Katherine Waterston has appeared on the one show on bbc within the hour-
"Katherine Waterston just mentioned she gets chased by massive aliens in Alien Covenant on the one show on BBC1 just now #AlienCovenant"
She's probably doing Fantastic Beast press rounds. Be worth keeping an eye on her interviews this week. Just in case.
Good find, thanks. 8)
Episode in question: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0827rcr/the-one-show-14112016
Just giving it a watch through to see what is said though I doubt it's anymore than what's on Twitter.
About 27 minutes they bring it up.
The host - You're looking really scared about it.
KW - Well you haven't seen the Aliens I've seen.
Host - You've had a bit of training in Fantastic Beasts.
KW - I'm was sort of running towards the trouble in Fantastic Beasts, whereas in Alien I'm running from it.
Host comments on Alien being scary.
KW - Ridley is a little sadistic. He likes it to feel pretty scary on set. There were days when there were really enormous Aliens chasing me and I was in a cumbersome spacesuit.
They pressed her for some details on her character but she didn't divulge. I think I'm gonna do a news post about this one.

Something caught my eye in that article....
"The upcoming film follows the crew of the Covenant to a seemingly desolate planet, where they discover the wreckage of the doomed Prometheus craft and its sole surviving crew member David (Michael Fassbender)."
Umm.... didn't David and Shaw take off in a Juggernaut vessel at the end of Prometheus, leaving the wreckage of the Prometheus vessel (and the Deacon) on LV-223? I dearly hope this is just an error and not an indication that Covenant takes place on LV-223... :(

It has been very quiet around these parts for the past number of weeks. I've been going through Katherine Waterston's recent 'Fantastic Beasts' promotional interviews and not a soul(other than the One show) has asked her about Alien, it's almost as if they don't know she's in it.

So is it at all strange that 2 nights ago I had an amazingly vivid dream (like where you remember every small detail from it, even hours after you wake up) that I had been hired as a concept artist to work in the art department at Fox Australia for Prometheus 3? I have been REALLY inspired lately to step up my art/sound/production game quite a bit during the next year of my life and this dream I had pushed me even further.
It was really neat, I was down in the props department helping the staff sculpt Xeno skulls, hands etc for a set that resembled a Xeno/Deacon holocaust of sorts. Like the set had Xeno skeletal remains all over the place. Then I was called onto another set to work directly with Ridley about where to place a few props I had designed into a huge Gigeresque sound stage! I went back to my office after word and found a note on my desk "Lenn, since we know your level of sound production, please get started on a few concept songs for this particular scene" which called for 2 really dark and brooding industrial infused soundscapes.
I woke up feeling like a million bucks ;) Now, just to make it a reality!

If thats the case... everybody heard about St. Bartholomew's massacre :o
Maybe Ridley used that as a very subtle hint for some kind of religious conflict
between two groups of Engineers?? Or I imagine too much ;D :D

Wow... the level of symbolism just keeps going deeper. I don't think you're imagining it at all, Enoch. Scott appears to revel in this kind of metaphor. I am guessing enriching these movies with this kind of content is what is making it satisfying for him to be involved in the making these movies.
I don't see a man of his intellect just being satisfied by making goofy space monster movies at the tail end of his career. I am sure he's deliberately enriching these movies with intellectual content to make them palatable on multiple levels.

Ive had this theory for a while (stated it a few pages back too, possibly mightve been in another thread). there was an official canon easter egg in Aliens: Colonial Marines where if you shot the engineer chair enough, a hologram appeared in the top of the room with the circle shaped Engineer ship shooting down the Juggernaut shaped ship from LV-426/LV-223. it was a very subtle hint, but 20th Century Fox DID say this was canon and pertained directly to Prometheus.

Aha... so that is the case.
Many of us speculated about that when discussing Prometheus back in 2012.
Two different ships, two different writings... I always thought there were
two separate casts of engineers, and one cast rebelled (Satan, the bringer of light/knowledge).
I found that Easter Egg from Aliens: Colonial Marines

St Bartholemews Massacre.
'ALIEN: Covenant' set photo. A passing resemblance?
- - -
That 'A:CM' easter egg is completely disposable. Shooting the Jockey in the head is the lamest way to trigger any event in a video game. Especially anything of any significance. For that matter, the entire game is lame.
Oh, and by the way. Take a close look at the vehicle that attacks the Engineer ship - it's comprised of a pair of re-purposed assets - it's the Jockey's 'cannon' inverted and added to the disk that his chair is mounted on. Lame asset re-purposing as you can get.
I guess the giant rolling donut is canon, too. Huh?
It's a disposable Easter egg at best. fergit it...

Yeah, as much as I want to believe it the UFO doesn't look anything like the one in Prometheus. It's not ovular.
Still think the Jockeys & Engineers are separate species warring against each other though.

Right now, I'm thinking the same thing. Possibly even 2 different factions of Engineers. The same species. The Ones who want us destroyed, for whatever reason; and the other group that (possibly may have) opposed them. We could be witnessing the relics and artifacts of some distant 'civil war', maybe.
That's my line of thought at this stage. The levels of symbolism we are seeing at the moment is suggestive (but not conclusive) in this regard.

Yes, nothing is conclusive at this moment, maybe we ll get even more
complex story, but I think that we can expect to see that conflict between
some factions and even hint of some other power (Maybe we ll get that Space Jockey at the end).

We've known since the Alien commentary that there are two groups of aliens at war, hence the crashed bomber. Prometheus just made it specific that this is an internal conflict, showing us two types of alien craft and two Engineers with very different attitudes. The Aliens: Colonial Marines Easter egg is Ridley Scott banging the fans over the head with this information by making it impossible to misunderstand. The saucer aliens and the croissant aliens are not the same.

Ridley Scott does not like the voice-over, seeing what happened to Blade Runner, so either it's for viral material or some voice for the ship's transmissions. Maybe it's someone from the base with which they have radio contact, like Mother in Alien, but being a physical person.

Scott never had any problems with voice-overs. It was originally his intention that Blade Runner should have voice-overs in the tradition of film noir. The earlier BR scripts all had voice-overs that Scott himself introduced. The problem he had was with the type of voice-over that the financiers ultimately shoehorned into the film which was basically Irving the explainer instead of the more lyrical and cynical voice-overs typical of 40's noir cinema.
But I agree that voice-overs wouldn't really fit in an Alien film, so could well be for one or more of the possibilities you mentioned.

No, Dean is not going to do voice over like that in original versions of Blade Runner...
perhaps he ll do character voice (ship AI perhaps like mother or even some alien voice/Engineer or character voice over)
or he ll provide voice over for viral stuff.

But we ll have to wait to see who ll compose the main score.

He's know Ridley for a very long time, decades... and worked very closely with him. So if one day you should happen to talk to that person again and mention how you would one day love to do an interview with the guv'nor then he might one day mention it to the guv'nor and then one day you might get that opportunity. Don't ask him outright, just mention it in passing. No pressure. ;)

That would be something great indeed... I know Ridley would
like to discuss those finesses and subtle details of his films because he never got
the opportunity to discuss them in the ordinary interview.

If we see a trailer this year, i think it will be attached to assassins creed, so keep checking the bbfc/mpaa websites around that time, i'm thinking now we won't see one until early january next year. That news a few days back of reshoots, they're probably just standard pick ups considering they're being filmed in the u.k. but the last two years, it usually means the studio interfering over something they're unhappy with and thats what makes me think early next year for a trailer. Fox can't afford to screw this one up, so they won't release a trailer until they're 100% happy with what Scott and them have. They have to be very careful with this one every step of the way and not release a trailer with brilliant footage, which dosen't make it into the final cut.

Because the alien is not anymore the twist... we all know about the monster...
mystery is what the hell is that monster... and we ll get hints that will
amplify that mystery. Remember, this is Sir Ridley Scott's movie!!!! Keep that in mind.
Yes, he made several not so straightforward (and easy likable) movies lately, but he ll
never make mindless movies like AvP and other shitty movies.

That looks like a different statue to me. I know Michelangelo's "David" was used as reference for the Engineers. You can see it has almost exactly the same pose except for the left arm and a different head.

Sure there's good reason. Successful marketing campaigns don't happen by accident. They often take strict planning. Fox will likely release the Alien Covenant teaser in time to attach it to their other sci-fi Michael Fassbender vehicle Assassin's Creed. It maximises the exposure for Covenant whilst also making sales for Creed.

Well I'm happy they moved up the release date, but those marketing guys need to get a trailer out and start building up the hype!!!!
May is 6 months away (plus 19 days) from a marketing perspective Times up! My guess is the trailer drops with Rogue One. Probably getting it converted for 3D too.

No matter for what movie, or how long it has until release, there are people who will think something's wrong because the marketing hasn't started.
Don't worry. The marketing team knows what it's doing. And Alien: Covenant, like Prometheus, was shot in 3D.

They promoted and marketed Prometheus for 6 months and a bit. So if they have their first videos in january, man I can wait.
Waiting for Prometheus was excruciating!!! unless the twist is that they do another biblical theme rather than gods and men type of thing then they better get to it!!

I really hope it is tagged onto Star Wars, at least after Assassin's Creed because I will see whatever film has it trailing in 3D, several times, and I dont care about AC, but am super excited about Rogue One, so I dont mind seeing it again.

I think we'll be seeing it with Assassin's Creed, for sure. Fox movie with Fassbender starring. Makes perfect sense.

Quotehey shot 2 or 3 scenes all in the cargo bay while we where all there. There was about 12 of us extras in the shot with Waterston and McBride walking past talking to each other.
My role was to look like I was getting the tool ready for work.
Sorry no spoilers as I was only called up for the 1 day. But how cool I'm in a Aliens movie!!.
The shots where done here in Australia at fox studios lot. Not sure if it was for reshoots.

Quote"I got a f**king document of like 10 pages of everything I'm not allowed to say about it," he told the Press Association.
QuoteHowever, he was allowed to give a general overview of the plot, and he revealed, "I'm having a blast on that movie. It's awesome. I'm the pilot of the spaceship, the Covenant. It's a colonisation ship. It's full of couples... We're setting off to find a planet that we're hopefully going to colonise and s**t doesn't go as planned."

are now dead.
This man for instance, Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins
is someone who I admire greatly. He is a living legend and an actor
of enormous capacity and talent. Truly a great genius with beautiful voice
and complex persona. Certainly one of the greatest actors of all time and interestingly Ridley's coeval. :)
(younger than him 1 month and 1 day). :)
Interesting interview about his age and some contemplations about death and life.
P.S. Sorry about this not so related digression.
P.S. 2 Sir Anthony and Sir Ridley are currently two people from film branch who I admire
greatly. I have a great respect for British cinema in general, their actors and directors.
Speaking about Britons, I love the persona and work of late Sir Alec Guinness.

i can;t tell what it is.For one it looks like a miniature alien, but the photo looks like a pyramid scene where someone in a helmet is shining their light onto it but the light looks why to phottoshopy.
I don't want to imply anything but it could be a fake or something. Previs maybe. It doesn't look like the alien head is attached to anything.

I'm really surprised on how tight lipped this film has been... VERY few teasers and leaks compared to Prometheus.
But a lot of the fun and anticipation I'm feeling for the film is due to just that!!! Once the trailer debuts, I'll be done digging for any sort of spoilers. Did the same thing with Prometheus and I was happy I did... Made the film amazing when I was sitting in the theaters at 12:01am opening night!!! (Just like I'll be doing at 12:01am May 19th) :D

Yes but in the article at scified it seems the OP is asking if the being in the background is the same as we see in Alien. As in 15 foot tall gaping mouth legs too short etc etc.

It was released via official Fox social media platforms with the #AlienCovenant hashtag. The blue lighting also matches that of an earlier leaked photograph from the Covenant set.

I'm afraid that's not an official account, Effectz. I do think they're alluding to Assassin's Creed's release date anyway which is what I expect the trailer to be attached to the cinema. Though I will be happy if we get it earlier with Rogue One. :)

Begs to wonder why they would retred that scene?Im not sold on the assumption, just thought they could as well post damn near anything from Prometheus and call it A:C if thats any resolution. There's nothing in these new pictures that show us that it is of new content or relevant to AC.
Prologue scene, flashback, new footage of the Covenant finding the Juggernaut. Take you pick!Quote from: Effectz on Dec 05, 2016, 05:45:21 AM

I'm afraid that's not an official account, Effectz. I do think they're alluding to Assassin's Creed's release date anyway which is what I expect the trailer to be attached to the cinema. Though I will be happy if we get it earlier with Rogue One. :)
Can anyone here read Russian?

It's a magazine extract about his biography and best movie roles. The only thing about Covenant is that he agreed to reprise his role as David in the Prometheus sequel.

Thanks anyway fellas.
The German wing of Fox is running a Live Q&A with Fassbender and other Assasin's Creed cast. Obviously it'll be primarily focused on Creed and likely in German but might be worth keeping an eye on or trying to sneak a question in if any of you guys are good at speaking German.

Quote from: Himmelblau on Jul 02, 2016, 01:52:31 AM
From Scified.QuoteAustralia based plasterer currently working on Alien: Covenant, Ashleigh Jane Crombie just shared a potentially very exciting photo to her Instagram account.
Previously, Ashleigh was the one responsible for sharing the extremely cool Alien: Covenant crew sweaters and T-shirts, which sported the Weyland-Yutani"Building Better Worlds" tagline we mentioned last week.
Just moments ago however, Ashleigh shared a new photo - a resin mold of an Alien Xenomorph head... she tagged the photo #AlienCovenant and #gift.
I've asked her if in fact this is at all indicative of the film's new Alien design or if it was made for fun
As expected, the cast was a gift from Fox, not a hobby project. Ashleigh got back to me on I Instagram and added she could not confirm or deny if the mold is a reflection of the new Alien design.

I've been checking them too, was expecting them to know something to be honest. Surely it can't be imminent then can it? Doesn't it need to be classified and everything? Or can it literally just show up? Maybe we won't actually see it until Assassins Creed, the trailer marketplace is absolutely saturated as it is. Maybe Fox are purposely missing it

Not to sound redundant, but the field is a little saturated as it is. However, anticipation for this film is pretty high (in the circles I run in at least). I was kind of hoping that Fox would just drop it on us out of nowhere, but it seems that there are ways to track the release of trailers now. What I really don't want is what movie studios have been doing as of late, the latest being The Mummy, and releasing a teaser for the teaser trailer. Which brings up another question, will this be the full release trailer and not a teaser?

I'm expecting things like those corridor gifs we got earlier this year. Little teases over a period of several days to build-up anticipation.
I think what we'll then get is a teaser trailer just over 1 minute long. The actual full length trailers will probably only start coming out about 3 months before the cinematic release.

Possibly. Passengers (no relation to me) will release on December 21, Assassins Creed on December 14. They should release the trailer on the internet at least a day before the cinematic release or risk having low-grade bootleg footage finding it's way online.

It's been 4 days since the Anthology twitter page has posted anything, who's betting their next post maybe Covenant related?

I'm still thinking they'll go with Creed. It's Fox and it's Fassbender.
But with Passengers they'll be able to target all the colony ship enthusiasts. :P
I'm getting conflicting release dates from Google with regards to Creed. It's listed by most sites as 21 December (US) but Google insists 14 December (US). I assume it is actually 21st of December? Which will make next week less likely with regards to a teaser release.

If no trailer appears soon, may be worth catching FILM 2016 BBC1 Wednesday 14th Dec. It's the last in the series and they normally end with upcoming films for the following year. Thought it was worth a shout.

Hicks probably mentioned this but the reason nobody is going into detail on the trailer and clips is due to the embargo and NDA the press is under, which for Alien Covenant ends on December 24th.
I wonder then if we'll see set reports as well as the trailer dropping on that weekend?

Indeed. I never did find out the embargo for the set reports. I feel like it's going to be some point next year though, after they kick off the advertising campaign.

It's another account from Scified. Nothing official.
Ok thanks. False alarm lol. Those guys said the trailer would be with us 'very soon' weeks ago :laugh:
I think their first guess was April. Lol.
They were probably talking in geological time-scale. Eg. The Easton Glacier will reach the ocean "very soon".

Quote from: Gazz on Dec 17, 2016, 07:09:10 PMI agree with you, though if they are planning on releasing one trailer, and it's the R-rated one, then the only reason I can think of them letting Assassin's Creed pass by trailer-less is because they can't show the more violent of the two attached to Creed. All the twitter buzz focused on the violent trailer etc so perhaps this has swayed fox's decision somewhat.Quote from: BonesawT101 on Dec 17, 2016, 06:52:52 PM

I don't think they or anyone else knows when it's going online but just making the assumption of a Christmas or post Christmas release just because that's when the embargo ends for the press who attended the Fox events.

They're just waiting for the Star Wars hype to die down a little. As I mentioned a few months back, it makes sense to de-conflict it a little. There's still five months before the release of the film, no rush and plenty of time.
The two Covenant trailers have also received positive press coverage, no reason to think that there is any kind of problem.

Apologies, I meant perhaps we're not getting the green first in cinemas and the red online after as we'd been hypothising. Your notion of waiting for the Star Wars hype to die down a little is the right way? What's coming out in the New Year they could attach it to?

It's what I'd have done if I were in charge of marketing this film. All Joe Doe is currently talking about is Star Wars. Joe Doe has a limited attention span so he might forget to mention that new Alien trailer to his buddies with all the Rogue One fuss currently doing the rounds. Once Rogue One is old hat in a few days, Joe Doe and his buddies will be looking for the next big thing. It's then when you'll want to hit 'em with the Covenant trailer.

Not to mention that one of the biggest trailers and talking point for Rogue One is Dunkirk given the trailer and 5 minute IMAX preview. The marketing space in front of Rogue is just too damn packed and honestly, a Alien trailer just isn't suitable for the Rogue One audience given its Star Wars and a lot of children would of been attending this weekend.
Fox will release the trailer when they're ready. Heck this week I imagine a lot of talk and focus will be about Blade Runner 2049 and Christmas weekend the rumor is that WB might be dropping a surprise Justice League trailer. Yowzer. lol

the latest would be Valentines day....I think as a solid Hard R rating, there isn't any worry for this movie to go sky rocketing in terms of viralitidy. Most certainly will be the talk of many fan sites, but somehow the link to Prometheus will get casual sci-fi into it but slowly.
I think it would be difficult for Entertainment Tonight to do a story on this without some tact considering the first trailer is supposedly gorey.

Similarities with Alien seem to be inevitable. It's always something with a spaceship and a distant planet. Only Alien 4 was different in that respect but it was still on a spaceship.

Which is interesting, because if the movie isn't set on a planet and/or a spacecraft of some description, there isn't much options in terms of where it takes place.
Even 'ALIEN: Resurrection' finishes on a planet despite most of its running time being spent aboard spacecraft. 'ALIEN 3 is the inverse. It starts in space yet by the time the start credits are over, the story really commences on the surface of Fiorina. The rest of the movie is strictly planetside.

I spoke with a French reporter who saw the clips and the trailer! He confirmed that the trailer comes out on December 26th!
May be with the difference of time it will be the evening of December 25 ?!
Wouldn't that mean Dec 26th for the Northern Hemisphere and Dec 27th for the rest of the world?
The world doesn't work like that.

That's amazing (if it's true)! Can't wait for it.
Each postponement of the french projection evokes the date of 26 December!
It was supposed to be under embargo but it leaked on twitter and french board. This is really true!
One week to wait!
What else can I say:
The trailer reveals especially Katherine Waterston, great actress, completely badass, the new Ripley (...).
The first clip introduces the crew, the environment and the objectives of the mission. You have understood, it's a quiet sequence, from the beginning of film. Mc Bride is serious in this.
The second clip is completely ALIEN. Gore, full of blood (tons of liters), and it's very intense, very rhythmic.

Well, what if they land on the planet, only to discover Alien horrors so they escape back to their mothership, where, surprise, surprise someone infected brings some alien goodness aboard. Horror ensues. That's the script of Alien. Is it not?
Yes after picking up a signal that had to be investigated.

Seems like the trailer could be coming this week with the new releases like Assassin's Creed. Apparently the trailer surprisingly played before a screening of Rogue One in a cinema in Jamaica:

If anyone wants to do some digging and verify it, I believe this is the movie theater location and chain that played it.

The ancient story elements coupled with the sort-of-Ancient Astronaut story-line in the games could have made for a great story.

I'm think the next production still will hint at an Alien this time.
Is that what's on the floor?

You know forgot to mention that I remember a very old statement from Scott and production, were they claim there will be TWO stories in this movie: one following the Covenant crew, and another following a Yutani/Weyland crew arriving LV-223 to recover the Prometheus failed expedition remains??
Anyone remember this can't find link??

You're probably right dude. It sounds odd, but given that Superhero movies pretty much dominate the movie news these days, Covenant has reminded me of just how much of an Alien fanboy I am.
Oh side note, finally got around to listening to the podcast, great show, keep up the good work!

If those numbers are intended as GPS coordinates we'd have to have one today (in about 45 minutes) and then another one tomorrow with the trailer coming out after. If they're not GPS co-ordinates then a teaser today isn't outside the realms of possibility. We'll find out soon enough!

Hmmm. Looks like they might have changed the schedule. Nothing has shown up yet. The first one was later, about another 6 hours from now, I think.

Funko will release Alien Covenant Pops in 2017!
Quote Funko CEO Brian Mariotti celebrated the holidays by posting updates for 12 days on the Funko slate for 2017. Each day was devoted to a specific genre, including movies, Marvel, DC, Disney, and Star Wars. On the second day of the teasers, the theme was current movies, in which it was revealed that Alien Covenant funko pops would be produced.
Funko's official forum requires an account to sign on, so the screenshot below shows Alien Covenant listed among Funko's 2017 slate. As Alien Covenant is one of the most highly anticipated genre sequels of 2017, it is certain that Funko will create several pops in the line.
The exact number of Funko pops that will be produced for the film's merchandise is unknown. However, it is likely that the Neomorph, a new Xenomorph Variant, and David may get the Pop treatment, as well as Katherine Waterson's character Daniels.
Thanks to scified member Matt for the scoop?

QuoteRidley Scott's sci-fi thriller "Alien: Covenant" topped social media buzz last week with an impressive 63,000 new conversations, according to media-measurement firm comScore and its PreAct service.
Fox released its first trailer for "Alien: Covenant" late on Christmas Eve, replete with monsters bursting into scenes. It's the sixth "Alien" film for Scott, who is directing from a script by Jack Paglen, Michael Green, and John Logan with the colony ship Covenant as it heads toward a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy.

The reaction to the trailer has been nothing short of phenomenal. I bet Fox are laughing. Inside 4 days Alien: Covenant has almost achieved as many views as the trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes has in over 2 weeks. As well as more likes.
It's had its fair share of backlash but even most of that is born out of passion for the franchise not disdain.

It's much better. However, it was not the same period. Youtube was much less popular in 2011-2012. The teaser had done in 8-9millions of views in a few weeks. Then it progressed more slowly (18M now). The trailer had made 6 millions in a few days.
The stats of Covenant are very good (25M in 4 days), but not exceptional either.
In 20 days, Spiderman has made more than 70M views (YT + Facebook). Same for Guardians.
According to Deadline, Transformers exceeded 100M views.

Looked on IMDb for their reactions or feelings towards the trailer....let's just say it's hard to find anything better good on there. I ask to myself, what do these people want from an alien film? The answer is everyone wants different things. Which means you can't satisfy everyone. I get the trailer wasn't perfect but in all honesty, I liked it a lot and I cannot understand the anger from a lot of these people. The folks who hated Prometheus find something wrong with it. The people who wanted to continue with Prometheus themes and distance itself away from alien are upset as well. The majority everywhere else I go seems to have loved the trailer. So is it just that website, or what is it? I'm curious to what people think these people really wanted from this movie and why the 2 minutes plus they saw of a trailer makes them hate the movie already. I honestly think it looks way better than any alien film other than the first two.

Different expectations, some people wanted more of a slow burn trailer. Myself, I hate the inclusion of the shower scene. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it will work in the context of the movie, but in the trailer it added an overall cheapness to it. It basically said "HEY WE ARE A SLASHER MOVIE WITH TITS! YOU LIKE BLOOD AND TITS RIGHT?!"
That insults me, as I try to think of this series, or at least Scott and Cameron's contributions being a touch above that level. Someone at Fox approved that way of thinking, and that shows exactly what they think of the fanbase for these movies; gore hounds that like boobs. Don't get me wrong my movie collection has it's fair share of boobs and blood in it, just they all happen to be crappy movies I love by directors who on paper, are way below Scott's pay grade.
What I wanted was a few things. I wanted a combination of prometheus and alien. I wanted the story that takes place between Prometheus and this movie. I didn't want David to become the focus, I liked his character but I think by the end of this I will be tired of him in the role of the villain. I guess I wanted more Prometheus with Alien elements, not another Alien film. I can see why Ridley said the big guy was tired during Prometheus, because when I saw it this time around I rolled my eye the way people roll their eyes at Jason. A character that was kinda interesting that has been ruined by people going to the well over and over again.
There is also the let down when comparing it to the first Prometheus trailers. This looks far more typical in comparison.

The shower scene, at least as we see it in the trailer, isn't really filmed in a titillating way. It's dingy with far more emphasis on the grungy texture of the room and falling water along with, of course, the ominous darkness.
Plus that blood splatter is actually pretty awesome.

Quote from: fiveways on Dec 29, 2016, 07:13:40 AMI mean the movie is called "alien" covenant, so how did you not prepare yourself for seeing the alien? The complaints of Prometheus not being a real alien movie were heard and he gave the masses what they thought they wanted. If you view the fan made trailer someone posted on here, you can see the movie looks great, the trailer should have just withheld a few key shots including shower scene. But so what it has a shower scene...it didn't take away from the rest of what you saw or the questions you still have that the movie will answer. I think some people are pessimistic. I also think a lot of people wanted perfection, thing is all the people who take the time to post on here or anywhere else about how "bad" this looks will be in line opening. Weekend to watch it still. People complain to complain.Quote from: Fire Marshall Bill on Dec 29, 2016, 12:43:21 AM

The complaints of Prometheus not being a real alien movie were heard and he gave the masses what they thought they wanted. If you view the fan made trailer someone posted on here, you can see the movie looks great, the trailer should have just withheld a few key shots including shower scene. But so what it has a shower scene...it didn't take away from the rest of what you saw or the questions you still have that the movie will answer. I think some people are pessimistic. I also think a lot of people wanted perfection, thing is all the people who take the time to post on here or anywhere else about how "bad" this looks will be in line opening. Weekend to watch it still. People complain to complain.Quote from: Fire Marshall Bill on Dec 29, 2016, 12:43:21 AM
Looked on IMDb for their reactions or feelings towards the trailer....let's just say it's hard to find anything better good on there. I ask to myself, what do these people want from an alien film? The answer is everyone wants different things. Which means you can't satisfy everyone. I get the trailer wasn't perfect but in all honesty, I liked it a lot and I cannot understand the anger from a lot of these people. The folks who hated Prometheus find something wrong with it. The people who wanted to continue with Prometheus themes and distance itself away from alien are upset as well. The majority everywhere else I go seems to have loved the trailer. So is it just that website, or what is it? I'm curious to what people think these people really wanted from this movie and why the 2 minutes plus they saw of a trailer makes them hate the movie already. I honestly think it looks way better than any alien film other than the first two.
Different expectations, some people wanted more of a slow burn trailer. Myself, I hate the inclusion of the shower scene. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it will work in the context of the movie, but in the trailer it added an overall cheapness to it. It basically said "HEY WE ARE A SLASHER MOVIE WITH TITS! YOU LIKE BLOOD AND TITS RIGHT?!"
That insults me, as I try to think of this series, or at least Scott and Cameron's contributions being a touch above that level. Someone at Fox approved that way of thinking, and that shows exactly what they think of the fanbase for these movies; gore hounds that like boobs. Don't get me wrong my movie collection has it's fair share of boobs and blood in it, just they all happen to be crappy movies I love by directors who on paper, are way below Scott's pay grade.
What I wanted was a few things. I wanted a combination of prometheus and alien. I wanted the story that takes place between Prometheus and this movie. I didn't want David to become the focus, I liked his character but I think by the end of this I will be tired of him in the role of the villain. I guess I wanted more Prometheus with Alien elements, not another Alien film. I can see why Ridley said the big guy was tired during Prometheus, because when I saw it this time around I rolled my eye the way people roll their eyes at Jason. A character that was kinda interesting that has been ruined by people going to the well over and over again.
There is also the let down when comparing it to the first Prometheus trailers. This looks far more typical in comparison.
I'm incredibly pessimistic. I don't hide it, I see zero point. Optimism creeps me out. I could toss back 'lots of people in this site convincing themselves it looks like a good movie", because there are a lot of post which seem like people talking themselves into liking the trailer.
A trailer is your first line on selling a film, and it is supposed to set the tone for the movie (or else you are lying in a trailer and covering something up). If this is the tone they are going for, I am not interested.
It took away from me because it feels out of a Friday the 13th film. Maybe you like that dreck, in which case cool go fourth and thrash. I love horror movies and still hate that shit with a burning passion.
I'll go see it second week after lines have died down. No need to rush at this point. Maybe the second trailer will change my mind, but first impressions and all that jazz.

I can understand people not liking the trailer or the look of the film, but to then tell other people they are just trying to convince themselves it looks good is petty, its how you know people are taking this trailer way way too seriously.
I thought the trailer looked great, on first viewing and on the last. I didn't have to convince myself of anything (love it or hate it I suspect no one else did either) lol.

. .i am hoping they will use it again in future trailors or in the movie itself. . But a revamped version. . Like the way they took the original sound of the first alien trailor and rehashed it for prometheus. . No reason they can't use it again but somehow enhance it or just remix it a bit. . Else it would really feel like they milking it. .

You are probably correct...
What movies? Besides Scott hasn't done that since Blade Runner. Both eyes belong to androids: Roy Batty and David 8. And there are some parallels between those two.

QuoteWhose eye is it at the start of the movie?
The storyboard indicates that it belongs to Holden (Morgan Paull). According to Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, the actual eye belongs to EEG Optical Lineup man Richard Rippel, which is why the eye is not the same color as Holden's. However, Ridley Scott has commented that the eye is not supposed to belong to any one individual;
I think I was intuitively going along with the root of the Orwellian idea. That the world is more of a controlled place now. It's really the eye of Big Brother. Or Tyrell. Tyrell, in fact, had he lived, would certainly have been Big Brother. The early intent [was for the eye to be Holden's]. But I later realized that linking that eye with any specific character was far too literal a maneuver and removed the particular emotion I was trying to induce (Future Noir, 382 -1st edition; 488 - 2nd edition).

boobies just make everything more magical though! i mean, seriously... you cant help but smile when saying the word "boobie"
prior to seeing the shower scene in the trailer (after hearing about it via this forum), i really expected the worst... but to be honest, after SEEING it in the trailer, my opinion has changed. its a ship full of couples, and their main goal when finding "Paradise" is to procreate. so the scene makes sense... and something tells me that Scott isnt going to make this a cheap shot at a porn scene, ill honestly be surprised if we actually see any breasts or fanny going on at all when this is shown in theaters.

It's simple: if people say they like it...maybe it's because they do??
Quote"No! I want people to hate it like I do! WA WAA WAAA!!"
Really? What, because we all post on the same Alien/Predator forum people must be like-minded right? Pffff... No one can make me hate that trailer, not even my own wife.
Sidenote: I bloody hated Prometheus with a passion, and so far this trailer has me picking up that Blue-Ray everytime I pass my dvd/BR collection. I hope the entire movie has the same effect.

Ah nice, so here you can see that some kind of black fluid has been dumped over the head and on the ground. It could be that the damage to the head and architecture is the result of natural weathering/aging. We see that broken/weathered effect on the earlier clean shots as well - those without the goo residue/runnels.
Notice how there's always weeds surrounding the base of these structures. These particular Engineers seem to have let things go to pot. Of course it could also be set when the Covenant crew arrives ten years later.

And what about some underwater scene...
remember this photo
brightsideartcollective - When you watch the upcoming #aliens #film look for the
#seaweed I made that #aliencovenant #ridleyscottfilm #showbiz #hazmat
That's a bit of a long shot. Just because there's "seaweed" doesn't mean there will automatically be an underwater scene. It could simply be washed-up seaweed for the Milford Sound shots or it could be something else entirely.

Yes, but how to explain that those statues and monuments are in fact destroyed, demolished...
The whole place is crashed. Something more happened there; not just a goo infection. ???
Or just some serious whether and really fast aging?

Could be anything really. Maybe those structures are really ancient and the Engineers weren't maintaining them. Or maybe there's lots of earthquakes there, like at Milford Sound. It's got a bit of an ancient ruins feel to it. Interesting mystery though.

Ampules are quite heavy. And there are thousands of them. How do you think David will

the head monuments are easy to explain... different figures in Engineer society. its the same way the greeks/romans carved different statues of gods and leaders, simple as that (infact, all of the pics of the engineers society in ruins greatly resembles the greeks/romans).
i have a feeling that the scene with Weyland will be a David "dream sequence". It seems to me that he has most likely surpassed his programming and achieved a level of sentience that has never been seen in androids before now. the whole scene seems very "dream-esque" to me. basically it revolves around a "boy" dreaming of his "father" seemingly...

Maybe they want to live like that. Besides, there is connection between them and those at LV-223. They might be even the same group of Engineers (outbreak happened 2000 years ago and a lot might have changed). Otherwise how David would know where to fly juggernaut?

Dream sequence? Sorry, I don't buy it. How do you know its dream-esque if you haven't seen movie yet? :) It's a scene prior to Prometheus mission. It's a foundation, a prologue to what will happen in the story itself.
QuoteWill Walter be quite different to David, we ask. "Yes," says Fassbender with a smile, adding: "I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say."
He does tell us that Walter is "definitely a servant of the ship. We're coming to a period after Prometheus".
At the end of Prometheus, the only survivors were David (David's head in fact) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace).
"As far as we know," says Fassbender.

Yep, Blade Runner really is a Moebius comic book movie. Interestingly, the name Blade Runner was Ridley's second choice for the film. He originally wanted to call it "Gotham City" but Bob Kane objected on the grounds that it infringed on his character's home city.

Any movie can be transformed into a comic book and vice versa. Even Schindler's List. There are no boundaries. Any movie's storyboard is comic-alike anyway.

I for one would really appreciate retrospective interviews with some folks who worked on Prometheus. Especially once Covenant comes out, it would be fascinating to hear writers from either film talk story evolution.

Interesting descript from the wiki page:
Effects house Odd Studios provided the films makeup and creature effects,[55] while Australian based effects house Animal Logic provided the films digital visual effects.[56] Actors wearing creature suits were used to portray the film's aliens[57] and casting calls for the aliens specifically asked for people between the age of 8 and 40 who were skinny and very tall or very short, strong and physically agile, and preferably skilled in fast in movement, acrobatics, dancing, gymnastics, contortion, and "Cirque du Soleil type performers."[58]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Covenant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Covenant)
I kind of could see the movements that the neomorph was making sort of creepy contortionistic movements!! :o
Do you believe that websites are saying that they travel to the same planet in Prometheus!! :P

As with Dane, we've had an interview planned with ADF for some time for after the novel and film's release when they can talk about them in detail. :)

Listen to the power thrust systems of The Covenant as it stay in orbit!!
Hear the wind, and rain as the drop ship enters paradise!!
Hear the squishyness of the spores as they activate!!
Listen to the slimy egg opening, and the face hugger doing it's thing!!
Hear the relaxing sound of shower water, and blood spatter!!
All this will be possible when Alien Covenant releases in Dolby Atmos May 19th, 2017!!

Shaw will appear in Alien: Covenant. We just don't know what the nature of her appearance is or how substantial the role is. They seem to be keeping it under wraps. Personally, I think David did something terrible to her as part of his experiments.

Nice find. I love Dolby Cinema, so if it releases in my local theater, I'll be a happy camper, since Covenant looks like it won't be getting an IMAX release.

He didn't come across that way to me at all. Based on his actions in Prometheus and what we know to be true from the spoilers for Covenant he's at best indifferent to humanity. A commodity to be used for his own agenda.

Worse than "People are dying. We need guns!"? I actually thought the relationship between David and Shaw was interesting. He murdered her boyfriend, essentially, and now he is her only hope of survival. "It's not exactly a traditional fetus" - some black humour in there as well.

She was just badly written, boring and had terrible motivations. I didn't like Rapace's acting either. I think the book is a great idea, I'd rather read that than have a movie to wrap her story up.

Quote from: echobbase79 on Jan 15, 2017, 01:01:57 AMI don't think she's disliked by most fans at all. It's probably true to state that many feel ambivalent about her fate. That's primarily because, IMO, David was the more intriguing character. But to be honest I never thought an Alien sequel needed Ripley until I saw Aliens... and then her character becomes much more integral to the narrative. If anything, I think Shaw was over-written... little nods to losing her parents here, her inability to have children mentioned there etc. Ripley was much more a blank page in Alien and her development seemed a bit more organic than Shaw's.

They screwed up their intentions with Shaw in Prometheus. They actually left a crucial bit of her character on the cutting room floor... Along with most of the movie's motivations and characterizations, but I digress.
In one of the promo materials where Shaw is trying to talk to Weyland, she better describes her beliefs vs what she knows as a scientist, and it comes off much much better than the clipped version we get in Prometheus which only further added to what makes the film seem scientifically... retarded.

Shaw was an interesting character, though I don't think it was a stellar performance by Rapace. The big promise of Alien: Covenant is that we would get the answers she is seeking. Those answers are far more interesting than she is. That's for sure.

Aye, Scified may have only just found out about it, we reported on a sequel novel back in October. It sounds like it may not actually be a sequel though, but a prequel. The initial report said that ADF was writing a sequel but he says he's working on a prequel. We don't have any clear info on what is happening just yet.

I will post this here got another message from Sagardoa...
The question I asked was:
Is that dog tags in pic image belong to Shaw??
Additional info from him:
Oh btw, I'm pretty sure there was another Covenant screening on Jan 10. I had basically the same email notice for an untitled, R rated, sci fi, Fox movie. I signed up and went but for the 2nd time I didn't get in to the screening. As I left, I gave the dude next to me my email and asked him to tell me what movie it was but I never heard back from him! I guess he may have not gotten in as well but at least he could have told me that too lol.
They've been doing screenings in the smaller theater - probably only 100 seats so they send A LOT of people home, (with a free movie pass at least). They are being very picky about the demographics they choose for screenings for some reason.
So excluding the 4Chan guy's screening,(I just don't think his was a test marketing screening like mine) I believe Fox has done at least 3 Covenant test screenings - Oct 17,(my screening), Dec 12,(tried to get in but didn't) and Jan 10,(tried to get in but didn't).
The question I asked was:
Is that dog tags in pic image belong to Shaw??
Spoiler
Sorry I can't recall that specific shot at all from the movie, (reshoot maybe??). Looks to be early in the film when they first land on the planet. They have a fairly arduous hike up to the crashed ship - if you look at what Daniels is wearing, it's like climbing/hiking gear. That's probably right when they first get to the ship so I think there's a good chance you're right because that would be before anyone of the crew has died on the planet.
Which means this could have been part of reshoots and may be Shaw's!

I live in a state that doesn't often get test screenings, and instead get 3-days prior screenings. I've only gotten tickets for one (La La Land), and I got there when all the seats were taken. I'll try not to make the same mistake if I get screening passes for Covenant.

Fox releases A Cure For Wellness in February, another R rated horror film. But Logan is also extremely likely.
I personally think it would be smart of Fox to release it with both of them.

I did ask him and his response...
Spoiler
Yes......and no!
Overall, yes I did enjoy it. It has plenty of action, horror and suspense & tension but it focuses on that more than the characters, well, except David - he's the main focus of the movie.
It is very reminiscent of both Alien and Aliens and after David shows up it feels a bit more like the Prometheus sequel it's supposed to be. I did like it better than Prometheus, Alien3 & 4 but not as much as Alien or Aliens.
With the exception of Fassbender's Walter & David, (and McBride's Tennessee to some extent) I thought the characters were pretty forgettable. I felt Bechir & Crudup were wasted in the film for the most part. I also thought Waterston was pretty bland as Daniels - just didn't seem to have any charismatic presence in her role...maybe I'm just comparing her too much to Weaver though.
I'd probably rate it like a 7.5 out of 10... at least the cut I saw and I know there's still room for improvement by the time it's released!

Pretty sure "Daniels" is gonna die offscreen between Covenant and the 3rd prequel.
Ridley is just gonna hire another actress to play another Ripley knock-off.

Fox releases A Cure For Wellness in February, another R rated horror film. But Logan is also extremely likely.
I personally think it would be smart of Fox to release it with both of them.
I reckon both would be quite likely for a trailer for Covvie.QuoteQuote from: echobbase79 on Jan 21, 2017, 11:37:03 PM
Did this person enjoy the film?
I did ask him and his response...Spoiler
Yes......and no!
Overall, yes I did enjoy it. It has plenty of action, horror and suspense & tension but it focuses on that more than the characters, well, except David - he's the main focus of the movie.
It is very reminiscent of both Alien and Aliens and after David shows up it feels a bit more like the Prometheus sequel it's supposed to be. I did like it better than Prometheus, Alien3 & 4 but not as much as Alien or Aliens.
With the exception of Fassbender's Walter & David, (and McBride's Tennessee to some extent) I thought the characters were pretty forgettable. I felt Bechir & Crudup were wasted in the film for the most part. I also thought Waterston was pretty bland as Daniels - just didn't seem to have any charismatic presence in her role...maybe I'm just comparing her too much to Weaver though.
I'd probably rate it like a 7.5 out of 10... at least the cut I saw and I know there's still room for improvement by the time it's released![close]
That's a good rating. Can't sniff at that.
Yeah, I looked at the rating and I'm pleased with that number. Also, @ Pvt. Himmel did you happen to ask him how long the version he saw ran? I'm curious about the running time. I'm thinking it will probably be the length of about two hours like Prometheus, but I just wanted to at least ask. Thanks. :)
Yeah he messaged back and said
Spoiler
I'd say it was about 2 hours with no end credits.

Well, Ive read the spoilers and most of them Ive forgotten. I refuse to reread the spoilers again... but I will say this
I am an artist and musician for a living. Seeing as the 4Chan spoilers were based on a screening back in Oct, I bet that by the time the film is released, quite a few things will change. When I start an idea for a song, for the most part, by the time the track is finalized... its gone thru a few hundred changes and will bear SOME resemblance to the initial idea or concept, but winds up being a finished product that is streamlined, listenable and is a completed piece.
Basically, from such an early screening and cut of the film... Im sure the cut we will all wind up seeing in the theaters will still have a FEW of the listed spoilers in it, but count on it being a very different product altogether!

Asked a few more question to Sagaradoa I asked....
We've seen some deaths in the trailer is there any others you could describe, and are there any engineers present in film.
Also it was said that there is a tune that lures them to the planet do you know what that may be?
And he responded...
Most of the crew get killed off by the aliens between the first backburster scene and when they get rescued by David. Bechir's character gets acid in the face in a scene kind of reminiscent of Hicks getting splattered with acid blood.
Engineers are only seen in the flashback scene, not in the "present" with the Covenant crew.
Covenant picks up a mysterious signal, broken up and garbled a bit. Tennessee hears it, starts repeating along with it and finally realizes it's an old classic pop/rock tune, (I can't remember which song it is though). After that happens, the crew decides to follow the source and ends up at the Engineer planet.

It may have changed during reshoots, remember the post I made back a few about dog tag pic?? The guy who I've spoken numerous times that have seen the first cut said that scene was not in screening so it could be possible got changed.

There isn't going to be huge changes, most of those spoilers will still be exactly as they are now. If they were still doing major script rewrites at this stage then you've got a serious problem with the film. It's just polishing-up at this stage.
People who didn't like what they read might as well stop deluding themselves at this point.

I'd probably rate it like a 7.5 out of 10... at least the cut I saw and I know there's still room for improvement by the time it's released![close]
That's a good rating. Can't sniff at that.
Yeah, I looked at the rating and I'm pleased with that number. Also, @ Pvt. Himmel did you happen to ask him how long the version he saw ran? I'm curious about the running time. I'm thinking it will probably be the length of about two hours like Prometheus, but I just wanted to at least ask. Thanks. :)
Yeah he messaged back and saidSpoiler
I'd say it was about 2 hours with no end credits.[close]
So I'm thinking the film will probably run around 110-120 minutes. I guess the film the didn't have credits yet either so you could tack on another 5-10 minutes there.
Thanks.

Fox releases A Cure For Wellness in February, another R rated horror film. But Logan is also extremely likely.
I personally think it would be smart of Fox to release it with both of them.
I reckon both would be quite likely for a trailer for Covvie.QuoteQuote from: echobbase79 on Jan 21, 2017, 11:37:03 PM
Did this person enjoy the film?
I did ask him and his response...Spoiler
Yes......and no!
Overall, yes I did enjoy it. It has plenty of action, horror and suspense & tension but it focuses on that more than the characters, well, except David - he's the main focus of the movie.
It is very reminiscent of both Alien and Aliens and after David shows up it feels a bit more like the Prometheus sequel it's supposed to be. I did like it better than Prometheus, Alien3 & 4 but not as much as Alien or Aliens.
With the exception of Fassbender's Walter & David, (and McBride's Tennessee to some extent) I thought the characters were pretty forgettable. I felt Bechir & Crudup were wasted in the film for the most part. I also thought Waterston was pretty bland as Daniels - just didn't seem to have any charismatic presence in her role...maybe I'm just comparing her too much to Weaver though.

I'm picking up what you're layin' down. 8th is a cool guy and a great board member, but I too am seeing people getting a bit sloppy with the spoilers outside of the 4chan thread (which I've been avoiding like the plague).
Luckily, I'm discovering a new skill I'm seeming to develop: when someone's post starts getting spoilery, my eyes reflexively glaze over and I quickly skip to the next post. Evolution in action! :D

I would classify my work as creating audio for commercial media.
This entails customers coming to me or my company (Corn Town Audio Solutions) and paying me an agreed sum of money to create audio for their project.
A key role of my work is sound design, I also have to be heavily involved in liaising with clients and other producers/musicians.
The music that I create for clients varies for each job, my business offers many different genres and styles of music.

It grew out? If he can dye it, perhaps it functions like real hair?
Maybe his hair is long when we first encounter him and he grooms himself on the ship? Or perhaps when we see David again it's short and brown, a "plot hole" that never gets cleared up at all! (I think the latter, truthfully.)

A viral marketing for Prometheus began on February 28 releasing Peter Weyland TED speech. Movie itself was released at the end of May which means that viral campaign started 3 moths prior. Less that 100 days left to Covenant premiere. We can expect anything anytime.

They had better start something soon, or else they risk not making any money off this.

Interesting thing... I asked Sagardoa month ago about underwater scene (I had some very vague intel/rumour ),
and he replied that there is no such scene. His reply was definitive, he was quite sure about that...
And then again, do you guys remember the photo of underwater weed some crew member posted a while ago on Instagram? Some details about all those claims of people who watched the movie on screenings are so confusing and not completely coherent...!

Seaweed grows underwater and only dead seaweed could be found on the shore.
But this tag #underwaterunit, could suggest that there are some scenes

The seaweed we see in that picture could easily be made up to look dead and washed up.
But the underwater thing, I don't know. I've not heard anything about there being any underwater sequences.

David took Walters identity and therefore left the planet/Paradise with

Yeah that's my thinking. I bet that scene happens and then we get another 5-10 minute chase/climax (AND THEN the reported "twist" ending).

It's a shame, especially for a Ridley film, because he's the prince of detail. But there's rarely justification to not spare those dramatic minutes.

Its a real event movie, but a design and interior of oil platform
was very good. Pretty tense movie.

Agreed. Also, Ridley Scott has never made a cheap looking movie. He's oft-accused of trimming narrative logic to death and having zero exposition in his films (and occasionally, the extreme opposite), but it's always immersive and lovely to look at.

I'm afraid Covenant just isn't going to offer enough. What I liked about Prometheus, was that it was quite grand and ambitious. Now with Covenant, they seem to be going for a very claustrophobic atmosphere. And that's great, but as a result it will probably feel a lot less grand and ambitious. :-\ I hope it's going to be more than just people getting killed by aliens all the time.

TrailerTrack releases trailer updates tomorrow, so if a Covenant trailer is with A Cure For Wellness, expect an announcement tomorrow.
If not, then Logan. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

Who is actually watching another trailer and who skips it and waits until final release? I at least did that one with Force Awakens. :D

I'll be probably be skipping the new trailer. That's why I'm not really bummed about not getting a new one. I don't mind seeing the occasional picture from it on here, but I'll probably not watch it. It will be hard though.

Also, if Patten is the DOP, the hell happened to Wolski? Wasn't he shown in a set photo? Perhaps Patten was just for reshoots?

Logan for sure. Though I did think that Wellness was still a possibility, both being R rated horror films from Fox.
Oh well, at least it should just be a 2 week longer wait.

Logan is Fox's next big release. So it's obvious that they would release a Covenant trailer then. And a lot of blockbusters lately have been giving a lot of marketing 1 1/2- 2 months before they come out. So yes, I am very sure.

The wait may seem long, but as soon as you know it, the movie will be out. I remember how long of a wait for The Force Awakens was, and here I am awaiting The Last Jedi, with the Special Edition 3D Blu-Ray of TFA to hold me over.
We only have exactly 3 months (or less, depending if you go to a Thursday night showing or get passes to an advance screening).

It'll all start flowing soon enough. All the viral videos, new trailers, TV spots, probably get some clips, we still haven't seen the set reports get published yet either.

March to April, I imagine. Maybe with a massive push towards the end of April, Alien Day. Then just smooth sailing and some junkets in May.

Guys, do you want what for the next trailer? Action / Epic or Horror?
I'd love to see the other facet of Covenant, we've seen the slasher side in the first teaser, now I'd like to see the science fiction, action and spectacular part of the movie. I will love that the trailer starts with the war scene.
The trailer would start in the dark with the sound of weapons and shouts of people ...

People are complaining about everything, this film (or any franchise film these days) is being destroyed online for every reason imaginable. This includes The Predator as well. I just ignore it, some of its valid, but most of the whining is beyond logic. In the end I just hope I like the film, I try my best not to care about what everyone else thinks.

Don't you love that they've given the same rating to both the green band AND red band trailer? Isn't the point of a green band trailer to reach more people than the red band one?

Bloody Disgusting are reporting that Javier Botet provided mocap for the Alien based on this: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRGnf-_BLkX/

well, they don't need to motion capture a human being, and the engineers are too human to need cgi.
so i think that would mean yes that he did mocap work for the xeno, but then again, could also be the neomorph.

I asked, Javier liked my question and replied with "More than that!" I asked if he did both Neomorph and Big Chap and he liked the comment. So I guess this one is a good bet.

For some reason some people think being educated protects you against being human. I understand that the characters in Prometheus made people yell at the screen, but I yelled at the screen during most of the Alien movies and I don't go out of my way to post negative things about the other Alien movies on this board.

Quote from: Protozoid on Mar 03, 2017, 08:31:24 AMI agree - if Covenenat is as good as I anticipate, then i'm sure it will shed new light on Prometheus. There may well be a situation where people actively seek to watch it having missed it the first time round on the back of Covenenat. There aren't many sequels I can think would do this, so Covenant may be the exception to the rule. If this proves to be the case - here's to the R rated version of Prometheus being released!Quote from: Scorpio on Mar 03, 2017, 01:45:36 AMYeah, I personally don't find anti-Prometheus snark very funny.

"If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six," he says. "I'm not going to close it down again. No way."
Having nearly filmed The Martian in Australia before heading to Hungary, Scott came to shoot here after meeting foreign minister Julie Bishop in New York. That was the spark for the federal government to make top-up grants that attracted both Alien: Covenant and Thor: Ragnarok to Australia.

He says he could do six more films because he wants to get back into the series. In reality he's only doing two more after Covenant. So unless he pulls a Cameron and decides to add 3 more to the list, we're only getting two more Alien films from Scott.

I think that's a mistake. BOM doesn't mention a push. And the 12th is also the week after Guardians Of The Galaxy. So yeah, probably just a mistake.
Edit: Digital Spy is where the article originated from, and they're from the UK. Covenant releases in the UK on the 12th. So us folks from the US still have to wait an additional week.

Why Alien: Covenant Will Make You Reconsider Prometheus
http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/03/alien-covenant-ridley-scott (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/03/alien-covenant-ridley-scott)
You want me to get competitive? I can get competitive," Ridley Scott jokes when asked about the films—Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien: Resurrection—that were made between his groundbreaking 1979 Alien and 2012's Prometheus. "During all of it, no one ever asked why was this ever started and who created it. You'd think that would be the first place to start when you're writing a bloody screenplay."
After returning to the world of Xenomorphs and Chestbursters that he created wth the divisive Prometheus, Scott is back again with Alien: Covenant, becoming the first director in the 40-year franchise history to direct back-to-back installments. On its way into theaters May 19, Covenenant swung by the SXSW Film Festival Friday night, where Scott and stars Katherine Waterston and Danny McBride were on hand to debut new footage for a captivated Texas audience.
Unwilling to see the franchise come to what he considered an ignominious end with 2004's Alien v. Predator, Scott is in the process of creating a resurrection of his very own, with plans for what he says could be several more installments in this new Alien era.
But this new Scott-fueled vision of the franchise is missing the unifying force of the original four movies: Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley. There are echoes of her in Noomi Rapace's Prometheus character Elizabeth Shaw as well as Waterston's Daniels in Covenant "because, boobs," the actress wryly jokes. "Ripley didn't have boobs!" Scott chimes in. But it's actually actor Michael Fassbender playing a pair of A.I. units—the platinum blond David and the mousier brunette Walter—who is the new "Ripley" of this series. "It's the A.I. that's the real connective tissue of this franchise," Waterston observes. "People keep saying I'm the Ripley. I'm not. It's Fassbender." (Scott also addressed the rumor that Waterston's character was related to Weaver's Ripley. "No," he asserted, "She's herself.")
Fassbender's David will bridge the gap between the two films as Covenant kicks off with a prologue (not to be confused with the four-minutes of footage marked "Prologue" that is currently online), showing the origins of the unnerving blond android. Scott drew inspiration from a viewing of 2001: A Space Odyssey when, he says, as a young man he "gawped and gawped" at Hal's famous, unblinking red lens. "You see nothing but the eye" of this creature, Scott marveled.
"We start Covenant," he continues, "with a really clever prologue that settles—once and for all—who David really is." The sequence begins on a "big beautiful blue eye—you see every vein" and over that shot audiences will hear footsteps approach. "How do you feel?" a voice asks. "Alive," the owner of the eye responds. Scott explains that the prologue reveals Guy Pearce's Prometheus character, Peter Weyland, as a younger, 40-year-old man (Pearce wore heavy old-age make-up for the 2012 film) whom the newly-born David calls "father." Scott promises this sequence will "really get people going because it's f**king smart for a change." Scott and McBride both believe Covenant will cast Prometheus in a new and better light.
Better and better.

I must have missed that Covenant was the name of the ship somehow...
Is this the new trend then? Having the title of each film be the same as the vessel they travel on?

Reminds me of the Cygnus from The Black Hole. I guess the shuttles are up front, then a spinning gravity thing, maybe? I find those cube shaped pods interesting. Are those basically mobile homes? Like personal trailers? They seem to come in twos and the mission is all about couples.

Yeah. They'll likely show footage from films that are still like a year away. Even films that are close to release take a bit to release their CinemaCon footage.
But Covenant's should be out soon, being that it's less than two months out.

I asked what event and what the footage was -
Quoteit was laid on for us by the studio. We'll be posting a breakdown of the footage this weekend on our website.

Nope... viewing scenes shot in IMAX is indistinguishable when viewed on a regular screen. A regular screen still works well for films with good cinematography. However, IMAX is like the difference between watching on your TV at home and watching at the cinema...

IMAX is a more 'square' format than the standard 2.35:1 cinemascope aspect ratio, so you'll be seeing more information at the top and bottom of the screen than you'll be getting on the eventual letterboxed blu-ray. For that reason (among many) it's good to see the film in IMAX, because you won't be seeing that 'version' of the film ever again.
It's mildly troubling to me that Ridley says it's "meant to be seen in IMAX" when it will live on at home in the cinemascope ratio, but I've no doubt he's probably contractually obligated to push the IMAX.

i'm not that negatively biased to the resurection xeno.
there still is no better alien than big chap,
but i'm not that negative towards the resurection versions.
hell, i think the carapace looks much better compared to Cameron's Aliens. I've always hated the ridged version.
the A:R version was a bit too fleshy like, but then again, it was a cloned version so i can dig that, really.
some stuff actually was great about A:R, like the underwater scene
it's funny actually that Covenant's XENO has some decent similarities with the A:R version, dorsal fin positions are one of the most obvious.
there still is no better alien than big chap,

hell, i think the carapace looks much better compared to Cameron's Aliens. I've always hated the ridged version.
the A:R version was a bit too fleshy like, but then again, it was a cloned version so i can dig that, really.
some stuff actually was great about A:R, like the underwater scene
it's funny actually that Covenant's XENO has some decent similarities with the A:R version, dorsal fin positions are one of the most obvious.

Oooh, so looks like they're keeping some of the touch screen interfacing from Prometheus, that's probably Walter's hand.

The Covenant Xeno looks like an evolutionary step between the A:R Xeno and Big Chap.
Compare that to the Deacon which is the fleshiest xeno yet.
It looks as though the alien will evolve over the prequels back to the original design, although I could be wrong.

It's been confirmed that Daniels is third in command (after Branson and Oram), so Tennessee's V likely means he's fifth in command.

Why are people still reporting this? Ridley debunked a couple of weeks ago.

Daniels and Tennessee were recording video messages, some neomorph stuff, a very startling shot of Oram writhing on the ground, and a facehugger skittering away around a dark corner.

Generally at one month of release, 3 ou 4 trailers are already out! At the same period, Prometheus already had a teaser and 4 trailers.
Covenant has only a teaser and a trailer
Fox must be really confident to wait for the last moment before releasing a new trailer.

Michael Fassbender reveals the dark relationship between David and Walter in Alien: Covenant!
Per article:
Quote We've known for a while that Michael Fassbender will be playing dual roles in upcoming Ridley Scott movie Alien: Covenant.
But now several new interviews in Empire magazine have revealed a bit more detail around how the two androids relate. And it's pretty dark.
Fassbender reveals he treated them as two separate roles. David was the droid from Prometheus, the surrogate child of Weyland who by the end is just a severed head in Elizabeth Shaw's bag. Meanwhile, Walter is the newer version.
"The technology within Walter will be more advanced, but his ability to have an emotional response to a painting or a relationship is not the same," says Fassbender.
Walter, we understand, is programmed to be loyal to his crew members where David, as we saw in Prometheus, has other agendas and motivations.
John Logan who wrote the screenplay for Alien: Covenant expands on this.
"My approach was to create a backstory with Weyland and the disappointment David has with humanity over the years, finally letting that go deep into his psyche in a very damaging way.
"Every great story needs a great antagonist and David in a way is the antihero of these Alien movies."
Could we see David and Walter going toe to toe then - the loyal and advanced model protecting the human crew against the emotional and more intelligent version driven by vanity?
Ridley Scott elaborates: "Idle hands do the devil's work. This AI believes he's marginally superior to his creator, which creates an emotional reaction called anger. They've made him way too intelligent and way too sensitive. This was the error you'll find out about in Covenant."
Be very afraid.

That model doesn't look all that much different to the facehuggers of old. I wonder if the one/s featured in covernant are more close to the original than people have surmised on here previously? People have said it looked bigger in the trailers but I was not sure if I agreed.

The one shown in the Covenant trailers is very similar. If anything the digits look longer and the 'face' is smaller compared to the air sacs. It can be easily chalked up to a design flourish rather than being representative of a different 'type' of hugger. It also has a vagina rather than an oyster.

This, or maybe the audio book, has a strong potential of somehow leaking before the film.

no, today's viewing audience has been blunted.
i have saved myself from seeing movies like SAW, the human centipede, and the final destination movies, but enough have seen it so.....this won't do much in comparison.
then again, i never have been much influenced by that scene. it didnt do much to me honestly, i thought it was rather cool and amazing. like MJ eating popcorn in his thriller movie lol. then again, i felt very uneased when seeing the guy from alien:resurection getting a headbite from a xeno from the back and standing and grabbing a piece of skull with brains on it. it was total BS offcourse and at a level funny but also rather uneasy.
i'll probably think the backsnapping scene will be 'uncomfortable' but not much more.

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15 (http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15)
A low grade R. Like Requiem.
Requiem was pretty gory though. Pregnant woman bursting open, chick getting cut in half, decapitations, etc.
I'm referring to the released version. Other than the pregnant woman bursting I thought it was pretty tame.
Jessie only got cut in half in the dvd release. Also, the graveyard scene with guy getting his head blown off was in the dvd release as well.

A lot of leaked info about Covenant.
Spoiler
I said this from the beginning, the Covenant ship is just a vessel to supply human bodies
[close]
Spoiler
After Shaw and David arrive at the planet they think is the Engineer home world, they discover what appears to be a single Engineer city/colony. David then flies the ship over the city and opens the cargo hold and drops the black goo on it. In order to prevent the further spread of the infection, some type of bomb detonates and incinerates all of the city's inhabitants. After the Engineer city is destroyed, David secretly contacts Wayland Yutani to update them on the status of the Prometheus expedition and the discovery of the black goo and Engineer planet; he also requested supplies (mainly lab equipment) and a new body. After receiving a whole new body, David wirelessly uploads his memory/programming into it and then captures and incapacitates Shaw who decided to leave David after he dropped the black goo on the Engineer city. David then begins to study the black goo and discovers from archived data on the engineer ship that the engineers' black goo was originally designed to mutate life forms into hostile creatures which attack and infect other life forms with black goo; this is what happened to Fifield and the worms in Prometheus. However, use of the black goo had some unintended consequences; instead of just destroying life, it sometimes created a new powerful highly adaptive species called the "morph" (alien with elongated skull). The morph is created when reproductive cells such as spores, eggs, embryos, etc. have been mutated by the black goo into a parasite (face hugger, trilobite, etc.) which can impregnate a host with a morph alien embryo. The morph gestates inside its host until mature enough to leave which results in a violent death for the host. Apparently, the engineers have encountered these morphs in the past when they used the black goo to eliminate life on planets. The engineers revered, respected, and feared this powerful alien species, which unlike life forms mutated by the black goo, has the power to procreate, hence the reason for the mural depicting what looked like a xenomorph and face hugger in the room where the black goo was stored in at the Engineer installation on LV-223. David uses the knowledge he discovered on the Engineer ship to experiment on Shaw's eggs and create the first face hugger eggs. After creating the face hugger eggs, David then communicated with Weyland Yutani again, requesting additional human subjects (mainly women) to experiment on. So, Weyland Yutani sends the Covenant and its human crew, which consists of hundreds of human couples, to his location. After the Covenant arrives to the planet, a small group of Covenant crew members is sent to scout the surface and find the most suitable location to build a colony. However, when the Covenant crew land on the planet, they immediately come into contact with mutated spores that turn some of them into neomorph aliens. David eventually reveals himself to the Covenant crew and helps them destroy the neomorphs, and after earning their trust, he convinces some of the them to follow him to the place where he keeps the face hugger eggs. One of the Covenant crew members is then attacked by a face hugger which leads to the creation of the protomorph alien. While the Covenant crew is dealing with the protomorph alien, Walter goes to confront and stop David. Walter and David fight, and it appears that Walter destroys David. Eventually the protomorph is killed, and the surviving Covenant crew members re-enter hypersleep with the rest of the colonists. After the Covenant crew goes back into hypersleep, Walter opens a storage compartment, revealing two cylinders of the black goo, implying that Walter is now actually David. David, who is now in control of the Covenant, intercepts an ancient Engineer distress signal, talking about an alien/morph outbreak on a crashed Engineer ship. David plots a course to its location in hopes of learning more about the alien creature... The end

David eventually reveals himself to the Covenant crew and helps them destroy the neomorphs, and after earning their trust, he convinces some of the them to follow him to the place where he keeps the face hugger eggs. One of the Covenant crew members is then attacked by a face hugger which leads to the creation of the protomorph alien. While the Covenant crew is dealing with the protomorph alien, Walter goes to confront and stop David. Walter and David fight, and it appears that Walter destroys David. Eventually the protomorph is killed, and the surviving Covenant crew members re-enter hypersleep with the rest of the colonists. After the Covenant crew goes back into hypersleep, Walter opens a storage compartment, revealing two cylinders of the black goo, implying that Walter is now actually David. David, who is now in control of the Covenant, intercepts an ancient Engineer distress signal, talking about an alien/morph outbreak on a crashed Engineer ship. David plots a course to its location in hopes of learning more about the alien creature... The end[close]
Where'd you find this?
didnt know it came from reddit, then i probably got trolled :D
But it was my first thoughts about the Covenant trip, i mean where are they really going??? all those people are also trolled by Weyland corp.

Hmm, the thing about the Accelerant
Spoiler
directly affecting the reproductive system of what it comes into contact with is very plausible from what's already been shown in Prometheus.
Holloway's Alien sperm affecting Shaw resulting in the Trilobite.
Shaw's Alien eggs used to create a Facehugger.
The fungi's Alien spores for reproduction used to create the Neomorph's.
It would certainly give reasoning as to why the imagery surrounding the Alien is so sexual.

A lot of leaked info about Covenant.Spoiler
I said this from the beginning, the Covenant ship is just a vessel to supply human bodies[close]Spoiler
After Shaw and David arrive at the planet they think is the Engineer home world, they discover what appears to be a single Engineer city/colony. David then flies the ship over the city and opens the cargo hold and drops the black goo on it. In order to prevent the further spread of the infection, some type of bomb detonates and incinerates all of the city's inhabitants. After the Engineer city is destroyed, David secretly contacts Wayland Yutani to update them on the status of the Prometheus expedition and the discovery of the black goo and Engineer planet; he also requested supplies (mainly lab equipment) and a new body. After receiving a whole new body, David wirelessly uploads his memory/programming into it and then captures and incapacitates Shaw who decided to leave David after he dropped the black goo on the Engineer city. David then begins to study the black goo and discovers from archived data on the engineer ship that the engineers' black goo was originally designed to mutate life forms into hostile creatures which attack and infect other life forms with black goo; this is what happened to Fifield and the worms in Prometheus. However, use of the black goo had some unintended consequences; instead of just destroying life, it sometimes created a new powerful highly adaptive species called the "morph" (alien with elongated skull). The morph is created when reproductive cells such as spores, eggs, embryos, etc. have been mutated by the black goo into a parasite (face hugger, trilobite, etc.) which can impregnate a host with a morph alien embryo. The morph gestates inside its host until mature enough to leave which results in a violent death for the host. Apparently, the engineers have encountered these morphs in the past when they used the black goo to eliminate life on planets. The engineers revered, respected, and feared this powerful alien species, which unlike life forms mutated by the black goo, has the power to procreate, hence the reason for the mural depicting what looked like a xenomorph and face hugger in the room where the black goo was stored in at the Engineer installation on LV-223. David uses the knowledge he discovered on the Engineer ship to experiment on Shaw's eggs and create the first face hugger eggs. After creating the face hugger eggs, David then communicated with Weyland Yutani again, requesting additional human subjects (mainly women) to experiment on. So, Weyland Yutani sends the Covenant and its human crew, which consists of hundreds of human couples, to his location. After the Covenant arrives to the planet, a small group of Covenant crew members is sent to scout the surface and find the most suitable location to build a colony. However, when the Covenant crew land on the planet, they immediately come into contact with mutated spores that turn some of them into neomorph aliens.

QuoteA bus is driving around the UK somewhere right now advertising a blockbuster that doesn't exist.
Chris Rogers spotted it proudly sporting the name 'LIAEN', along with its tag-line 'OVEN CANT'.
Initially, I thought it was some kind of illusion and the letters realign depending on your viewing angle, but no, it seems the decorator did just slap up the poster segments in that order and consider the job a good 'un.
Ironically, the screw up will probably make more people aware of Alien: Covenant than a correctly assembled advert would have.
It's just a shame we'll never get to see the movie it displays, a millennial drama about an oven that Can't. Even.

And to top it off they're still using that horrible poster. Does Fox want to discourage people in the UK from going to see Alien: Covenant? That's the only thing that would make sense.

QuoteTo hype up the pending release, studio 20th Century Fox recently released the Alien Universe website, an official platform which will be used to promote the forthcoming movie and its sequels. The site already features a fan art contest and details of the forthcoming Alien Covenant VR experience IN UTERO, in which users can experience the birth of the Neomorph from the creature's perspective.
Later today at 10 am PST (UTC-8) the website will stream a special one-hour event, including interviews with the new movies cast members and special trivia challenges for fans. It is also suspected the stream will feature the first ten to fifteen minutes of Alien Covenant.

Spoiler
It's obvious from the trailers that the Alien that's headbutting the shuttle is killed, and a second is what makes it into the ship. bouncing around in the corridor and in the shower has no cracked dome, while the one on the outside of the shuttle cracks it trying to break in. Test screenings also confirmed multiple Aliens.

sails.

Spoiler
QuoteScott says audiences can expect some philosophizing and spectacular visuals, including an idea he came up with to solve the problem of how the ship would continue getting and storing power in deep space: Massive sails, about the size of six football fields that can soak up the radiance in space and store it as power.
"I discovered recently that's exactly what NASA are doing," Scott said. "You can make a fabric that is stronger than metal and you can fold it up into a massive box and it will fold away like a good sail on a sailing ship so I apply that kind of thinking and there we have it. It works. And then you get it in the hands of the visual effects people and it all looks pretty good. So we're going to send it to NASA to see if I can speed up the process for them."

I also caught a screening of Alien here in Helsinki for Alien Day, I wasnt expecting them to show the Alien Covenant footage but they did! Preceeded by a message from Sir Ridley Scott! They showed the new prologue footage and the two scenes that show the landing and the neomorphs.
I agree with you, it was really nasty, but the gore wasnt anything in the likes of a slasher film or Saw, it was quite graphic in the sense that it was not over the top but extremely realistic and raw. Amazing use of both CGI and practical!

sooooo.......getting way ahead here but, is there any intel on when a Blu-Ray will appear, preferably with specieal featuretess and extras and behind the scenes?
im sure that regarding the prologue stuff, all the additional stuff, there must be a wealth of extra to be seen.

I'd say about three months from the official release date. Logan came out on March 3 and will be released on dvd/bluray on 5/23. Also, the digital download could be out to buy a month earlier.
I've been noticing how Fox has been releasing their films quicker on the home video format.

At first I was gonna say no way, three months wasn't realistic, but I just remembered Prometheus only took four months to reach DVD. I hope the guy who put together the Alien Anthology and Prometheus Blu-rays and all the extra content will be working on Covenant's home realease. He did an absolute wonderful job with all the menus and the "Furious Gods" documentary for Prometheus.

That'd be Charlie de Lauzirika. But didn't I hear that he and Ridley had a falling out and ended their association?

Oh dear god, I hope not! But if so, hopefully they'll find someone who'll stick to the same kinda formulas and base work Charlie had set down while working on the Anthology and Prometheus! The menus were perfectly streamlined and were very easy to navigate.

That's unfortunate that he's not doing it. Curious to know who's doing it though? I wonder if it's RedHouse that will be producing them? They're very good too when it comes to putting together a package of features. They do a lot of the Scream Factory and Arrow Video titles.

I've not watched the livestream over yet (still struggling with internet quality) so I don't know - did this pan out or is it yet another piece of nothing from Scified?
When has Sci-fied ever been right? It was just the Proloque: Crossing footage (with an intro by Ser Riddles), a Q&A with a few of the cast, some VR stuff, an art contest and a bit of this and a bit of that.

*Snipped because that's redacted now. Hicks.
The Furious Gods was actually initially kind of un-authorized, or at least they had started working on it before they got permission from Fox. But not sure if that had anything to do with it.
The "Yes Guv'nor my Ass" t-shirt he was sporting a while back that I posted on here was probably just a joke. I think he wore that shirt on the Prometheus set as well and Scott has a terrific sense of humour.

Yes, well it's not much but my contact told me that the press was very excited about what they saw!
Very good reactions about Alien:Covenant .
A great movie ... top 3 (behind the first two alien)
This isn't just a remake of Alien or Prometheus, but we find the viscerality of the original Alien, it's very violent, gore, stressful! And it's a good continuation of the plot of Prometheus.
I don't want to be spoiler, so I don't know more!
But it's very likely that Covenant will be a major critical and public success.

Xenomorphine sent me a great deal of snaps from the Alien Day party and they'll be going up alongside a recounting from him. It's next on my list of stuff to do.
Came from the CMTM according to Xenopedia. Still not something that was commonly used. I guess they took it from the Wikia.
Brilliant. Thank you!

honestly, i dont think theyre spoiling much. i have a feeling there is going to be A LOT more going on in this film than 20th Century is letting on to! theyre showing JUST enough to let people know its an "ALIEN" film and that the Xeno WILL be present... what they havent revealed is exactly how far down the rabbit hole were going to wind up going in relations to answers to Prometheus, new questions that will be posed, exactly what caused David to commit genocide, what happened to Shaw, what the Xeno actually IS etc etc. basically everything released in marketing thus far (outside of the prologue on Alien Day), there really hasnt been much revealed about the film in terms of details and story PAST the alien itself. Hell, weve BARELY gotten a glimpse of ONE Neomorph.

I am optimistic like you and that's why I will be avoiding most media now regarding the film until after I see it on the 18th.
Only concern I have is saying exactly what you just said, more or less, about Prometheus. I thought they showed too much but then thought well, surely they are hiding something. But the only thing that was really hidden was the deacon. But I feel like Covenant actually does have a lot more than what we have seen.

I love that they didn't lessen the vulgarity in the imagery of the Facehugger and Eggs. :D
I think I've seen a video of the props being made, but cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it. I just know that they were making huge Facehugger fingers.

The Graham Norton clip:
Spoiler
After showing the new footage, Fassbender makes it very clear to Graham that it was Walter shown in the clip.
So..... that would suggest that Walter and not David make it safely back to the Covenant (no switcharoo).
Also, Walter's reaction when the Xeno attacks the CCTV suggests it's not David.

The Variety review contains many spoilers. Beware.
Variety described it as nice to look at but rehashed and superficial. Also, a sequel to Prometheus in story but not spirit. A very mixed review.

QuoteTomorrow Monday, the German-Irishman Michael Fassbender, one of today's greatest stars, will respond to the questions that Internet users send through the Facebook of EL PAÍS. The event can be seen live on Facebook Live of EL PAÍS, five days after the premiere in Spain and several South American countries of Alien: Covenant, the sixth film of the saga, and continues, ten years later, with the Facts told in Alien: Prometheus.
Fassbender gives life in both films to two robots, which are programmed to serve humans, although they have their doubts ... Of course there are xenomorphs, the extraterrestrial species that only seeks to reproduce, and as in the previous occasion the film has been directed By the director who started the saga, Ridley Scott.
Michael Fassbender made his film debut in 2007 with 300, and the following year he achieved one of his best performances in Hunger, by Steve MacQueen, director with whom he has continued to collaborate in Shame and Twelve years of slavery. In his career he combines author's films such as Fish Tank, Jane Eyre, Light Between the Oceans, Frank, Steve Jobs, A Dangerous Method or Haywire, with blockbusters such as the X-Men saga, Assassin's Creed and Damn bastards. With Ridley Scott he has worked on the last two Alien and The Counselor, and is scheduled to premiere Terrence Malick's latest film Song to Song and The Snowman by Tomas Alfredson. And tomorrow he will chat with the Facebook users of EL PAÍS in a conversation broadcast by Facebook Live.

I'm sure it was someone on here's account. Sorry if it's not you.
If you're talking about the YouTube channel with the Covenant trailers that would be me. I'm new to this forum, just found it recently. I'm just really excited for Covenant so I've been following a lot of different things about the movie.
The nursery rhymes trailer is a fan made one, here's the original - https://youtu.be/qMbolWJ_kZM

Danny Mcbride will be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight!
Just wanted to let people know that actor Billy Crudup (Oram) will be on Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow night. That's on ABC after local news.
Also, James Franco will be on Conan O'Brien next Monday. That's TBS. Not sure the time it starts. On the same night, Michael Fassbender with attend The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon which is on NBC.
Btw, I love that poster!

Scott says he was wrong ... or right.
http://www.looper.com/64117/ridley-scott-mistake-prometheus-alien-covenant/
QuotePrometheus received fan ire for not focusing heavily enough on the scares, something which appears to be fixed in the terrifying Covenant. "What changed was the reaction to Prometheus, which was a pretty good ground zero reaction," Scott said of his decision to refocus on the classic xenomorphs. "It went straight up there, and we discovered from it that [the fans] were really frustrated. They wanted to see more of the original [monster] and I thought he was definitely cooked, with an orange in his mouth. So I thought: 'Wow, OK, I'm wrong.'"
Unlike some filmmakers, who push down a certain path regardless of fan reactions, Scott says that he does consider it, explaining that fans, while not the final say in what he includes, can be a "reflection of your doubts about something." "You realize, 'I was wrong' or 'I was right," he said. "I think that's where it comes in. I think you're not sensible if you don't actually take [the fans' reaction] into account."
Despite negative fan response to Prometheus and amid mostly positive, mixed reviews for Covenant, Scott still says that he plans to do at least one more sequel, set to be released within "a year and nine months," and possibly even another after that, although he won't say what they will be about or when they will take place. "It's weird when you're writing, doing, planning, thinking about franchises, it's amazing how it opens up and starts to evolve," he said.

I don't know the best place to inquire, but it's not worth it's own topic: was Covenant filmed in 3D? Prometheus was & they promoted that aspect heavily. It looked f'n gorgeous too. Haven't heard anything about it this go around, but it seems odd to go backwards it terms of presentation.

The problem I have with Kermode's review ( I've never been a fan of what I've read from him. I know he's respected, but the couple of reviews I have read from him have been drivel and missing the points big time - I have his review of Nymphomaniac in mind ) is that he judges Covenant by comparing it endlessly to the original Alien, which is once again missing the point of the movie completely. Covenant is not about the Alien, it's about a robot gone mad in space. Two very different things.

Someone who is professionally reviewing movies knows better than to let the title and marketing influence his view of the movie. It could be called SPATULA : Covenant, it'd still be the same film. It's only titled Alien : Covenant and not Covenant because the general audience was generally disappointed by Prometheus for not being an Alien movie, but anybody who has seen the movie can say that the Alien is not what it's about.

This is called Alien, it has aliens, it is a direct prequel to Alien, and it has been heavily marketed as an Alien movie. Kermode would be daft to review it as anything else. You are thinking of Prometheus. That was harshly judged as an Alien movie despite not being one. Are you seriously arguing that this is an Alien movie in name only? Does anybojdy on this planet agree with that? Because I'm certain that the fi!makers themselves would be the first to tell you that you are wrong. You are even wrong about the story. David is only at the center because he creates the beast, and the creation of the classic beast is now the focus of the prequels. Alien to the core.

I still have to leave my fan review up there, I'm waiting to see the movie a second time before posting it. But yeah, I really enjoyed it and there wasn't one noise in the theatre for the whole running time ( except laughter for one specific line ;D ). People were really taken by the movie.

I'll have to see the film to confirm if the idea works or not. Maybe Ridley should've taken the mad robot storyline and used that for the Blade Runner sequel.

I think so (I haven't seen it, but I like it). Think "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov (since you mentioned authors), wherein humanity seeks the secrets of the universe through technology. Eventually, they end up pouring all of their resources into creating this perfect machine/supercomputer to try to figure out the meaning of life. Eventually, humanity has all been absorbed into a "superconsciousness" of sorts, and they find out that the processing power that the interdimensional machine that they have created requires all of the consiousness of life to power itself to find out the question, and so the superconsciousness organism combines itself with the machine, and the machine says "Let there be light!" and reboots the universe...

For some reason this makes me happy. I'm reminded of Heart of Darkness meets Frankenstein. Two of my favorite books.
I certainly prefer it to the whole "Space Jockeys created it as no more than equipment to be used", as opposed to "I studied their ways and created the perfect organism!" OMFG I'M SO EXCITED I WANNA CRY. Lmao. Ridley is awesome.
I'll have to see the film to confirm if the idea works or not. Maybe Ridley should've taken the mad robot storyline and used that for the Blade Runner sequel.
I think so (I haven't seen it, but I like it). Think "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov (since you mentioned authors), wherein humanity seeks the secrets of the universe through technology. Eventually, they end up pouring all of their resources into creating this perfect machine/supercomputer to try to figure out the meaning of life. Eventually, humanity has all been absorbed into a "superconsciousness" of sorts, and they find out that the processing power that the interdimensional machine that they have created requires all of the consiousness of life to power itself to find out the question, and so the superconsciousness organism combines itself with the machine, and the machine says "Let there be light!" and reboots the universe...
I've never read any Asimov. I actually just ordered a collection with The Last Question being included in it. It's funny one review described Covenant as a Asimov meets David Cronenberg.

that is almost certain. I wonder why he skipped this project, he made
documentaries for most of Ridley's major movies...

I can see in the video that there is some effects work, but we never saw it in the movie.

The Art book doesn't show anything like this. Maybe her lips were supposed to be bitten off by the neomorph, but they had to cut it out because of the ratings board?
In the final film it's hard to see what's happening to her face because the little beast is moving around so fast.

I wondered that as well. In fact, the final film with the figure scrambling around in the flames on the cargo deck - and the cut to Oram during as she rolls down the landing platform - made me wonder if that was Karine and not Faris.

I think it was Karine too. The cut to Oram is what sells it for me. It's a pretty tight close-up which makes the moment feel more intimate to what the character is thinking at that moment.

Quote from: oduodu on Jun 20, 2017, 10:58:41 PMSounds intriguing, and I'm glad to hear that the Engineers will be back in a major role. Also, presumably, this was the plan when they made Covenant, so I was just overreacting to what I thought was the Engineers being written out of the series altogether. The implication of 3-4 factions converging for the sequel is exciting. What are the other two groups besides the Engineers and the Covenant colonists? Will the being seen in the Prometheus mural beside the Engineer finally make an appearance? Competing factions of humans, perhaps?

In another forum someone commented that perhaps a proto faction of the Colonial Marines could come to play since this will be two expeditions that have gone missing, and Weyland-Yutani wants to know what occurred especially now that more than 2,000 colonists have vanished. They might send a team of these proto Colonial Marines to investigate.
I have a suspicion that David might actually be going to Paradise to eradicate the engineer race once and for all.
If the engineers arrive on Planet 4, they will find Walter and ask him who killed their people. Once he tells him that it was David, they will surely go after him, and if he's going to Paradise, the film will become a race against time since he could have created an army of Xeno and protomorphs to destroy the Paradisian population.
In the middle of this, if the Colonial Marines are involved, they will find themselves in the middle of this, and literally becomes what Scott talked about being 'war of the worlds'.
In the end, Lindelof was right. It was a diversion to seed the ideas of what's going to occur in this final film, though that's if its gets made after Covenant's lackluster performance.
Let's see what happens.

Ridley was vague on which planet David is heading to. Right now, everything is pure speculation. Lindelof talked about Covenant being a pit stop before heading out to the actual engineer home world. now, with what Scott has said If David intends to finish what he started, he detours the covenant with his experiments to Paradise.

Yeah, nice artworks but lots of the references were used poorly. The planet's landscape was way to similar to earth. You had in your mind that this is earth all the time. Same plants, same colors, people no wearing helmets, etc...
Engineers looked ridiculous, and the Greek-Roman references didn't convey any feeling of danger or had any similarities with the Darelicts (there are 3 of them now).
The film is also a disaster, visually. Nice pictures but sadly the wrong ones.

Seriously cool video, thanks Hicks!
I would also add all the obvious ones like the painting in the beginning, the piano, the throne chair, the statue of Michaelangelo's David. There are other shots where David looks like Lucifer out of a William Blake painting (when Oram illuminates his face with the light while in the egg chamber... David has this... cherubim/angel look to him).

Scott has already gone on record and stated the next movie will feature Engineers returning to find their planet decimated. We also know there's Juggernaut class ships garaged under the city.
Maybe, the returning Engineers will use those ships to chase down David. It's a short stretch to sketch in the details if that's the case; to have an Engineer pilot infected by one of David's creation to become Acheron's derelict.
Engineer in that seat, for sure. Not David.

Going with that. It would also work if to give it the its been there for centuries work, the black goo or whatever eats away at parts of the ship and the body after the Queen or whatever has burst out of him

I wonder if they're going to change the Juggernaut's design to match the original derelict, or if they're just going to ignore it.

Scott has already gone on record and stated the next movie will feature Engineers returning to find their planet decimated. We also know there's Juggernaut class ships garaged under the city.
Maybe, the returning Engineers will use those ships to chase down David. It's a short stretch to sketch in the details if that's the case; to have an Engineer pilot infected by one of David's creation to become Acheron's derelict.

So then David created the space jockey as we know it also?

He meant the specific space jockey the Nostromo crew find in Alien, and it's less of a literal 'create' and more of a 'being responsible for'.
That said, the alien was in Prometheus, yet David still managed to create that, so who knows. Maybe David creates the Engineers in the sequel.

Here are a few other screenshots to clear things up:
First one shows the entire mural, which is shaped like an alien egg:

Then there's a clearer image of the mural content, in which you can see two facehuggers to the sides of the mature drone. You should recognize them because they are the early Giger drawings of the facehugger. As for the queen, she can be seen behind/above the drone:

That is not an Alien Queen behind the drone. And the Deacon or a Neomorph could probably spawn from an earlier form of a facehugger like the trilobite. Many different creatures spawn from the black goo/virus. I like how it isn't spelled out for us, just like a lot of stuff wasn't spelled out for us in the original Alien.

David quite clearly explained how the black goo spawned different creatures. He said some living hosts would be incubators for a hybrid form (AKA alien, neomorph, etc) if it didn't kill the victims outright. David himself said he created the xenomorph by experimenting with the black goo/virus on different lifeforms. The xenomorph is essentially a modified neomorph/deacon, which of course originated from the black goo/virus.

There is no Queen on the mural. It's a Deacon, and David is clearly not the sole creator of a facehugger type creature from the black goo/virus, as evidenced by the existence of the trilobite.

I can't see a queen in the mural. All I can see is a lot of different shapes that resemble the alien but in it's earlier Deacon form, or early Giger renditions of the facehugger. It's a mural depicting the life the black goo creates and I can't see any timeline issues.

Some seem to be missing the forest for the trees here and in other similar conversations. One of the intentions with showing David's works in Covenant is to reveal that he is now responsible for the original Alien; the progenitor of what we all know and love. That he did this by tinkering with pre-existing elements or ingredients is irrelevant to that aspect.
Parts of the imagery are remniscent of the queen's crest but there isn't a queen alien there.

I don't see any eggs in the mural. I get that the entire thing is similarly shaped, but no eggs on it.
I also think the presence of a queen is sort of an optical illusion. Similarities, but I don't think it's there.
Looking at David's lab it's hard to say exactly what he created and what he tinkered with. Like most artists, he starts by reverse engineering what has already been created, and once he understands it he either perfects it, or uses what he learned to create his own. Like someone learning the guitar...there are only so many chords, but the possibilities for writing your own song are endless.
At least that's how I see.
If anything, I think it can be argued that the only thing David truly "created" were the eggs, using Shaw of course.
And the Alien is his version of pre-existing creatures, most likely the Deacon, genetically tinkered with to be what we see in Covenant. Probably some Engineer DNA in there too, maybe even some of Shaw's.

Added the exoskeleton, strength, the double mouth, refined it perhaps, created the facehugger delivery system as we know it. Probably combined many of the properties present in the other goo creatures (wolves) with insects and other things on paradise. I think queen will be his major addition, giving the creature a self sustaining lifecycle.
Its more than obvious that the body bursting, acid, enlongated heads, lack of eyes, and other things are already present in other goo creatures, thats undeniable right? The goo worms have acid, the deacon and neomorphs burst from the body, dont have eyes, and have enlongated heads.
The creature at the center of the mural doesnt look like an alien right? But it is similar and the mural is obviously old.

The previous goo creatures seemed pretty strong to me. The trilobite...the neomorph...
The deacon had a double mouth.
The facehugger delivery system is clearly visible in the mural, so we know 100% David had nothing to do with that.
All that's left is the exoskeleton, which doesn't even exist yet, and at the end of the day is just a cosmetic addition.

It's speculation on my part. David clearly hasn't finished with his creation. We know Scott intends for the Engineers to return to find their planet decimated. They're not going to just sit around like a bunch of mopy Goths in their ruined citadel. They'll be out for revenge. They'll figure out what happened. David left all of his evidence in his lab.
It's not that difficult to see the Engineers lift the lockdown on their fleet of ships beneath the city and pursue David. Hell, David may even be anticipating them doing so and is going to be ready to greet them with his new army of Aliens.
From this point it's just a matter of getting an Engineer infected and the eggs aboard one of their ships. It just needs a greater purpose than just providing a tie into the first movie. There has to be a narrative that drives a greater goal beyond the derelict on Acheron being the final 'Ah-hah!' moment.
Scott wants to turn this into a long running series, that moment where the derelict's origin is explained will end up just being a signpost along the much longer path this is all taking. It's going to be an event to one side of the bigger plans Scott intends to put in place. And like a lot of elements present in this new series, expecting all the details to be laid out before you so you can spell it out easily won't happen.
Well, that's my take on it, anyway.

Winde that seems nice. I like it. it'll be nice to see David interact with engineers again. Itl be nice to see purpose driven engineers going at David.
A previous poster stated that David looked like a fallen angel cherub especially the eyes. That thought crossed my mind as well.
I hoped there is an play of David having hordes of other fallen angels at some point. Perhaps the colonists will be like him or the alien . There is the possibility that the engineers has a host engineer spirits.(Of dead engineers) looking looking for bodies to live in. And the aliens provides them with that.
Demon possessed aliens. #shivers#

You're take is similar to mine.

I believe it was Julian Caldrow who designed it and Steven Messing who digitally sculpted it.

I like really the final shot with the Covenant heading off to a deep, dark corner of space. It's goading the viewer with possibilities, who knows what happens, but in twenty years time humans will stumble across similar things again. But are they David's experiments or the ancient precursor to them that is even more terrifying.

I guess that throws up a possibility that I didn't think about. We can have a sequel to Covenant that is also a reboot of the franchise.
If Davids ship went off into some dark piece of Space and did all kinds of experiments then it could be a good starting point for a new timeline. David would be gone, fate perhaps unknown and the Planet could be one giant experiment. Black Goo inventions on a planetary scale.

Thanks. I've tried to chat to Messing before but that went nowhere. Must try Caldrow then.
Just been chatting to Julian Caldrow. He was more responsible for set design than the actual mural itself.

I was just reading through this thread, and it occurs to me that what David did, may have been skin deep after all. In the movies, it is clear that he was playing around with insects. Perhaps the single major point of difference between insects and most animals is that their bone structure is on the outside. So David could have introduced the external shell to the basic alien species which he discovered. There is no way of knowing what the skin texture was like on the creatures in the mural. It could have been like the noemorph. If David's work was skin deep in this way, then it would be literal, but by no means superficial. And yet clearly he would be as mistaken about where credit is due for creation, as he was about the poem in Covenant.

I wouldn't mind the final film being a 2hr 45min epic sequel to Covenant and Aliens in a X Men Days of Future Past setting were both Fassbender and Weaver chew the scenery with the xenos and engineers in the war of the worlds scenario that Scott pitched.

Nasa and many scientists say we should start our plan to make a discussion on how to discuss the plans that have to be planned for a well planned Alien prequel. Finally we're going to discuss if the Alien is cooked and how the fingering can fix that.

Things just evolve naturally and eventually they'll evolve into something that can continue the evolving and will take as somewhere further in evolution process to something really evolution-related. Aaaam, evolution is important, things should be let to evolve without anything that distract them from evolving. One day they'll surpass their evolution and will go to the next stage of their ... evolution. The evolution itself tend to evolve into something that you can't really imagine untill you just give up and step yourself into evolution...

Vodka and fine wine from his own vineyard.
It shouldn't really. Scott doesn't need to prove himself, his directing is indubitable. Merlin also already had a completed script by the time he signed on to direct (same as The Martian) so his iffy yarn-spinning abilities shouldn't be an issue either. And if Merlin fails at the box office who's to say it wasn't the marketing teams fault? Or the writers, or simply the fact that wizards aren't in vogue at that point in time? Many factors to consider.

Yeah, but whatever the flaw in a movie is, the key people behind may reconsider whether it is a good idea or not to let the same film crew make a next one. Now don't get me wrong, since my previous post about Merlin is anything but serious, like many others in this thread. :laugh:

No news to have. Alien: Covenant has come and gone now.
Maybe time to close the topic?

There was a 5 year gap between Prometheus and Covenant.
A release by Spring 2022 is the deadline for me

As far as I know there's always 5-7 years gap between Alien movies:
Alien - Aliens - 7 years; Aliens - Alien 3 - 6 years; Alien 3 - Resurrection - 5 years; Resurrection - AVP (yeah, i count them too) - 7 years; AVP - Requiem - 3 years (record !); Requiem - Prometheus - 5 years; Prometheus - Covenant - 5 years.

My soul could not bear it.
Enough waiting 5, 10 and 20 years for these movies, only to be disappointed. Get off your @$$ Hollywood and give these franchises some decent love!

It's not that bad, Covenant was released in 2017 so according to my calculations it's only another 2 years, 11 months, 18 days, 36 hours and 15 minutes to go. I'll ask the Corporal to put a countdown timer at the top of the thread.

Don't do that or they'll think it's an acceptable time frame. ;)
