There are images in this teaser that feel incredibly impressionistic, invoking that particular breed of silent cinema.
The inverse, in certain ways, of his much more expressionistic Dracula.
God, I am so in. I love that Coppola is just able to make EXACTLY what he wants here.

Alien Prequel Series: Prometheus & Alien Covenant / Re: Alien Covenant Fan Reviews
Last post by Acid_Reign161 - Today at 10:19:21 AMMy head canon always told me that ovomorphs attract prey by use of some sort of pheromone release (possibly observed when Kane goes to touch it and fluid can be seen dripping upwards/backwards). It may be the case that potential hosts are drawn to peer into the egg without even realising their behaviour is unsafe, beyond being 'lost in the moment.'
Here is an example of this in the real world; a species of spider that releases pheromones that attract prey (in this particular case by mimicking sex cues) - the spider is capable of modifying the pheromone to adapt to different prey species; https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=pheromone+attracts+prey&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1715682284250&u=%23p%3DrcBIe0Wp9PQJ
And in the interest of being critical of my own hypothesis (as I'm sure someone will point it out), yes, Kane is wearing a space suit, however he physically touches the egg, and we hear noise of a 'release' - I'm happy to accept that a creature that can bleed acid and burn through the hull of a ship, is capable of penetrating a protective glove upon contact. 😊

A cool detail I hadn't known before! Gonna have to have a look through my drive later, see if I can see anymore from the set.

Quote from: solace97 on Today at 08:09:50 AMQuote from: 426Buddy on Yesterday at 11:03:18 AMI would dump Prometheus before Covenant.
Prometheus is better than covenant, covenant is totally off the rails
Prometheus doesn't work for me. The only thing it has going is the visuals and David. Watching it is an immensely unsatisfying experience for me.
Covenant I really enjoy. Aside from the David creator plot point and the bland characters, I've always enjoyed it.
