Fede Alvarez working on new Alien film!

[Nightmare Asylum]

Well, they do both create human life in Damon Lindelof-penned peojects.

[Master]

Ok, I legitimately LOLed at that.

And I still stand by that new android should be called Gordon

Edison- that's a perfect name for an android and in line with Alien naming system.

Naming androids after the letters of alphabet is out of the window at this point. Now they are being named after producers ! f**k yeah !

I'm still pissed off I never saved the interview where it was suggested to Scott and he said that's what he was going to tell everyone from that point on.

Yeah, during one of the earlier Covenant press junkets, Scott was asked whether David and Walter were a nod to David Giler and Walter Hill who originally came up with the idea of making Ash an android. To which Scott emphatically replied with "no".

Then in a slightly later Covenant interview, Scott goes on about how David and Walter were named after Giler and Hill and how clever that is.

@HuDaFuK claims he brought the idea to Scott

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

I can't recall him interviewing Scott? I know the Corporal got to ask Scott and the rest of the cast a few questions.

HuDa was at an earlier group intervie with influencers like Louis Nostromo. I've been over the footage from that in the past looking for something but can't recall if it was about all this.

I'm always thinking of a junket interview where Scott was asked about the Hill/Giler thing and said no, but he was going to start telling people that it was because he liked it. But I've never been able to find it since.

First time since waaay back that I feel genuinely excited for an alien project, more so than for Hawley's series, even though I am curious to see that as well.

I always thought that the naming of David and Walter was ingenious for its own reason (not the debunked "named after the producers" theory); that reason being that David is following the alphabetical naming order of the Alien series and Walter is the opposite to David, yet they are brothers, so David is 4 letters into the alphabet and Walter being the opposite to David, is 4 letters away from the end of the alphabet.  Polar but symmetrical opposites.

That's sounds more to me like the writers intended it and Ridley just never picked up on it. If that is the case, then maybe he shouldn't have been given quite so much control over the franchise.

Urgh. I know it's off-topic but that is just one of the things I find immensely frustrating about Shaw (and people).

Right? Way to torpedo your main character's credibility thirteen minutes in.
