New set construction picture reveals link to Prometheus. One of the images most associated with Sir Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was that image of the massive Engineer head that dominated the urn chamber within the Engineer facility. It was an image that was featured prominently during Prometheus’ marketing.
It would now appear that another giant Engineer head monument is being constructed at Fox Studios Australia where Alien: Covenant will be shooting shortly.
The image comes via Instagram user charlietong123. This is our first specific indication that any Engineer facility or architecture will be featured in Alien: Covenant.
Perhaps David did discover another Engineer complex somewhere on the surface of Paradise. Or perhaps we will find the head overgrown in the depths of the green scenery?
The picture has now been taken down from Instagram.

So does this mean we'll be seeing another Urn chamber? I feel like it would be cool to see how the black liquid affects a xenomorph

Maybe we'll get some meaning for it this time.
QuoteIs it just me or does fox totally not have any leak prevention or security for this production?
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 13, 2016, 07:17:40 AMI'm kind of hoping the black goo was just another experiment that went awry. Maybe it should stay within the confines of Prometheus. What do you guys think?Quote from: PVTDukeMorrison on Apr 13, 2016, 06:17:19 AM

I'm really hoping the accelerant doesn't come into play when it comes to the Alien creation. I am quite happy we'll see some more Engineer locales though! I just hope it's more Giger-esque this time. No more stone, give me bones!

At the rate the leaks are coming we'll see the movie on DVD before it's even released in theaters.
QuoteMaybe we'll get to see the city of the engineers, reminiscent of Greek culture. Complete with giant statues and buildings.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 13, 2016, 08:12:17 AMKind of hoping for a history lesson instead of mad science. The crew will likely stumble upon some long dormant eggs I bet. Ah who am I kidding I want to see that ceiling hanging alien kick things off.
From what we've heard from Scott so far it would sound like the film will revolve around the Engineer's creation of the Aliens.

Looks very similar to the concept art seen in the Prometheus : The Art of the Film book.

This is just conjecture, but from the released Production design elements in the ART OF PROMTHEUS book and FURIOUS GODS Doc, and also the stuff eliminated from Spaihts ENGINEERS script... Going off all of that, it seems to me, or I got the impression that Ridley and Lindeloff scrapped a lot of that stuff, and brought in a lot of the design stuff that had been scrapped from ALIEN.
I kind of expect a lot of that scrapped stuff from PROMETHEUS to end up in this film. For instance the translucent alien that can squeeze through small spaces and the sex-burster and stuff like that.

All that concept art wad done for the first version of the movie, when Ridley wanted a 250 million dollar budget. Part of Lindelofs job was to trim the script and cut the budget to a more acceptable sum

Hopefully the success of Mars will allow for a higher budget.

It's still under construction. There's time for them to sculpt it.

A pity because the biomechanical look in Alien was very unique and distinctive. It's a real waste not exploring that particular look any further.
Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Apr 13, 2016, 04:30:54 PM
You can see a little bit of what looks like Engineer architecture in the background. Looks like a column and wall. No bio-mechanical aesthetic unfortunately.
Quote from: CainsSon on Apr 13, 2016, 04:13:00 PMYes a lot of what was used in Prometheus was from the original Alien concept work and it does look like Scott is doing the same thing here, which I guess makes sense since he did go in thinking this series would be a trilogy. Prometheus seemed to be cranked back hard, maybe for lack of time and money.Quote from: Godzillakuj94 on Apr 13, 2016, 02:33:03 PMQuote from: whiterabbit on Apr 13, 2016, 09:49:28 AMIf that's the case then I hope we get to see this guy.Quote from: OWLF on Apr 13, 2016, 09:23:56 AMOh great, Ridley's just going to use the stuff we all said look better than the stuff used in Prometheus... :laugh:

I think that's just the ventilation system in the soundstage.

It's already very similar in style to what we've seen in Prometheus. We're probably just deluding ourselves if we think that's it's still going to change to such a large degree.
