I'm sure he could probably do biomechanical if he set his mind to it, but yeah... seeing as Arthur Max is production designer again they'll probably stick with the Prometheus design aesthetic. Unfortunately . :(

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...
Here's hoping biomechanical will be the new black in Alien: Covenant!

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!

It's now confirmed that he'll be working on a 15th century medieval fantasy movie instead of Alien: Covenant.
He gives his reasons from around 22:00 minutes in on the video interview:

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.

Good time of the year for shooting in Milford Sound. It's autumn there now so you get lots of ominous fog, rain and clouds making for some very dark and moody scenery.

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.

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.

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.

Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Apr 28, 2016, 08:27:56 PMThe people on the crew and designers etc probably don't say no to him but I think the studio has always had a lot of pull over Ridley. 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.

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.Quote from: tmjhur on Apr 28, 2016, 01:00:46 PMQuote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 28, 2016, 12:54:28 PMWell Ridley is the master of developing poor screenplays.
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.

Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Apr 28, 2016, 08:52:05 PMWell maybe, but it's also not illogical to see how one film does first before green-lighting the next. They also need to be very careful on how they market each film since each one is coming from the polar opposite end of the series timeline, they need these movies to go out in the least confusing way possible.Quote from: tmjhur on Apr 28, 2016, 08:37:52 PM

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.

More f**kin corridors , Star Wars, matrix, Infini, now alien and what do they all have in common, corridors, f**kin corridors, maybe when extraterrestrial s show up here, their spaceships won't have any corridors, then all production designers will have to design ......

Sounds like they are doing corridors for the Covenant then if he's talking about spaceships. Can you ask him what it looks like, is it industrial/grungy looking or clean and futuristic like Prometheus?

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.
Seriously, am I the only one who has noticed this ridiculous trend?

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.

Quote(Preview) NEW interview w/ Michael about #AlienCovenant! Full #Interview on Sunday! #Fassbender #Scott #Prometheushttps://twitter.com/BeatFassbender/status/730495320010850304
Quote from: Michael Fassbender"The sets are fantastic. The best since 'Prometheus'. Mixture of high-end technology & primitive elements."
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."
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."

(When asked who gave it her) Some people of the art department, who do the props; Mr. Scott allowed them to.
My job in #AlienCovenant is very small, though. I help the art department, on set. I know almost nothing of the story.
But it's being wonderful. I love Alien, I always loved Ridley Scott's work (he's great, very nice with everyone who works for him).

Marina posted some more tweets about the prop.QuoteLooks like this attracted much interest. It's just a small souvenir.
(When asked who gave it her) Some people of the art department, who do the props; Mr. Scott allowed them to.
My job in #AlienCovenant is very small, though. I help the art department, on set. I know almost nothing of the story.
But it's being wonderful. I love Alien, I always loved Ridley Scott's work (he's great, very nice with everyone who works for him).

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.

QuoteBehind the scenes of the most anticipated film of next year.
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.

So nothing to do with Pot plants then? :-\
But yeah, it checks-out on google maps. Big quarry at the end of that street. Now we just need PsyKore camped outside Fox Studios in a ghillie suit with a long-range telephoto lens ASAP. ;)

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.

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

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.

Amazing.

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.

We live in a time when science fiction creative art is virtually absent, fortunately Ridley Scott returned with good intentions.
Just a few samples from Steven Messing. Epic scale, biomechanical elements, dark moody atmosphere. There's a lot more out there:

: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.
Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Jul 11, 2016, 09:14:47 PMYou're comparing someone in his 30s working on his first two major studio films to someone in his 70s working on his 25th-ish. His productions are quicker because 1) The dude has learned over 30 years and B) He's now Sir Ridley Scott, Hey Look Guys, It's Ridley Scott Making a Movie. He has clout. Instead of people constantly telling him he can't he's surrounded by people saying "Yes, sir, absolutely, sir, whatever you want, sir."

I agree. Prometheus and Martian are fantastic. Even Prom's blunders don't detract from it being an epic, awesome film (too much).

Quote from: Enoch on Jul 11, 2016, 10:11:57 PM
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.
QuoteIts 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.
Quoteand the other problem
is the presence of unconvincing actors.
Quote from: Stolen on Jul 11, 2016, 10:15:55 PM
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.

His legacy is beyond reproach. Over the span of three decades he gave us a varied filmography that went fromAlientoBlade RunnertoThelma and LouisetoGladiator. That'samazing, and the man clearly has nothing left to prove, which is why it might be time for him to walk away from making movies for awhile.
Quote from: oduodu on Jul 12, 2016, 10:10:23 PM
I am glad he enjoys it. I think he may have more time this time around to edit the movie. Perhaps he has more material to play with than Prometheus. He can probably do all the things he never could when he made alien and bladerunner.
Has principal photography now finished? How long will editing take?

david has his own room full of art and culture / is dissecting things, studying things -- i think he goes insane or power hungry
sets involve a massive head much like prometheus - i think theyre on the engineers home planet
full-size replica of Michelangelo's david

QuoteIt's a wrap!!! I never would have guessed this time last year as I was having the time of my life in Switzerland at the HR Giger museum I would return home to paint the exact sets that he envisioned so long ago!, it has been an amazing experience, I've learnt so much and made some very talented new friends, I also got to share all of this with my dearest Nikko.

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.

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.

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?

It's a little hard to tell exactly what is going on but it would appear to be a cockpit of some variety. Given the apparently small size, it maybe the cockpit of a shuttle?

As tmjhur mentioned, this looks like the interior of a real space going vessel, almost like a re-entry module. Maybe Ridley got The Martian's set decorators to do the space craft interiors again. There's even the old style steam gauge dials on that panel!
You sure this isn't a selfie he took at the Seattle Science museum? :P

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.

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.

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.

Found a working video. Demian Bichir expresses his immense satisfaction with the film. 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.

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.
Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Aug 04, 2016, 07:49:36 PM
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...

Quote from: windebieste on Aug 06, 2016, 01:26:26 AMThis is Ridley Scott... not two inexperienced special effects artist trying to direct a feature length film. Least to mention the years of experience in all the production camps. Plus I don't see Ridley going out of his way to earn an R-rating; I expect the movie to earn it because it is necessary to the story. It's a grown up, dark movie which is filled with gods and monsters. Both nature and evolution creates horrible things.
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.

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.

Quote from: windebieste on Aug 19, 2016, 11:14:18 PM
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.

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.

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.

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. I will definitely be asking him if he would fancy having a chat after the film's release. I've already got a couple who agreed to this.

Everything
I think he will develop a sense of jealousy.
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!

Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Sep 20, 2016, 04:27:20 PM
I'd prefer they don't test screen at all. While test screenings can help to make the film more commercially viable it rarely does the film itself any favours. In fact, test screenings are responsible for really messing-up Blade Runner and Alien 3's original theatrical versions.

QuoteQuoteBeen almost 2 months since I got my head shaven for a small part as an extra in the movie Alien: Covenant. 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.
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

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.

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.
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.

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.
Quote from: SiL on Oct 02, 2016, 08:37:34 AMIf folks haven't seen these videos they'll explain a lot of why modern soundtracks are terrible.
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.

QuoteCan you talk a bit about your character in Alien: Covenant?
(laughs) No, I cannot because I literally signed a phonebook's worth of [non-disclosure agreements]. I think I have to give up my first-born. 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.

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?

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.

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.

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...

Nice find!! So December 21 is when Assassin's creed comes out. Anyone planning to go see that movie with Fassbender in it? I tried the first game, not really my type of game..One of you Predator assassins need to go on assignment and videotape the preview. :)
I think I will do it actually, I'll just pay for Star Wars and sneak in the beginning of Assassin's Creed..damn 2+ more months..getting there slowly.

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.

will attract many game fans and historical movies fans...

Assassins Creed could be a fine opportunity to promote Alien because of similar audience type
(same goes for Star Wars).

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.

Quote from: The Eighth Passenger on Oct 06, 2016, 09:36:32 PM
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.

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...

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.

In all fairness though, the Q&A is one I'd very much like to do myself.

Everyone will be given an opportunity to submit some questions for it like I always do but I think it'd be asking too much and potentially take away from doing the recorded interview.

Right, because Wayne is an absolute f**king gent he has agreed to do a Q&A directly on the forum after the films release as well as a post release interview with me. We're also going to be having a chat within the next few weeks but obviously he wont really be able to get into specifics but we'll try and touch on the broad strokes and on Wayne's career.

Prometheus was much more of a mystery, story-wise, than Covenant, but both of them have about the same quantity of leaks, it appears.
Quote from: BonesawT101 on Oct 12, 2016, 11:37:29 PM
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.

I do believe Ridley Scott will be receiving the American Cinematheque tomorrow so would be a good opportunity to see some new footage.
Quote from: Nostromo on Oct 13, 2016, 04:53:20 AM
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. :)

Ha. :laugh: I don't know this one yet. Though considering how close Covenant is following Prometheus' timeline, I do expect it next month. If we're lucky, maybe this month.
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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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'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.

Its called teasing and building hype, which is obviously working.
Word of mouth has been pretty good

It makes sense if they are simply releasing the R-rated trailer online.
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

It doesn't make sense to have Assassin's Creed go by without it. It's a selling point for people to see either films.
Quote from: Gazz on Dec 17, 2016, 06:20:59 PM
According to Trailer Track's twitter, Alien Covenant trailer will NOT be with Assassin's Creed but should still debut online over the Christmas period.
Doesn't make sense to me.

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.

My thoughts too. I guess no general rated trailer but just the red-band online. It's a shame it's not coming with Creed but I guess it's just not the right demograph.

But we have solid info that there is a green as well as a red-band trailer. Why go to the expense of making a general audiences trailer if they don't plan to release it?

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.

May be with the difference of time it will be the evening of December 25 ?!
He told me that ,visually it's wow even if the cgi are not finished.
However he worries that the film is a remake of Alien ... :-\
The trailer is intense and visceral!

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.

Quote from: Enoch on Dec 21, 2016, 10:29:01 PMOouch, I contend that Assassin's Creed could have done really well had they written a bad-ass script. Sad to see this is not the case. The ancient story elements coupled with the sort-of-Ancient Astronaut story-line in the games could have made for a great story.
Just a heads up... not so relevant but... ;)
Reviews for Assassins Creed
http://www.metacritic.com/movie/assassins-creed
Score: 35/100
Catastrophe!
Scripts, scripts oooh those scripts.
They need to open some very serious schools for those script writers... and
forbid the studios to change much of the scripts. People are only worrying about money...
Serious film making is not same as money making! Problem became obvious when all major film studios
where bought by some beer companies and oil magnates...

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.

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.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 29, 2016, 08:07:35 AM
Remember that the trailer editing is going to butcher any particular scene. We are not seeing anything represented in its full or final form. That's also likely to be the same for any preview scene.
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

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.

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 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'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.

That's Holden's eye in Blade Runner.
Quote from: SiL on Dec 29, 2016, 10:47:02 PM
It's literally from the opening scene of Holden looking out over the city at all the flames. It's Holden's eye.
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).

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.

David spilt a bit of black goo and that suddenly destroyed all Engineers on Paradise planet. (and then he crashed with that Juggernaut - Okkk) Ok, thats to some degree plausible, but how on Earth did that miraculous black goo succeeded to destroy Engineer's infrastructure, monuments and buildings???

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?
Quote from: Enoch on Dec 30, 2016, 05:36:22 PM
Far grander mystery is the obvious difference between those two head monuments.
Two types of cultures definitely! It seems David destroyed wrong guys. Those Humanoids
there in Paradise seem to me too primitive!
Quote from: DorkiDori on Dec 30, 2016, 06:14:47 PM
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...
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.

Well what was great about Spaihts' scene is that David was actually holding the unresisting facehugger, and it only reacted when it was put in Watts' direction.

According to Wikipedia (yes, I know) Amy Seimetz plays Faris. Can anyone confirm that?
Dunno if it's the correct spelling or not but yeah, that's right.
Thanks. By the way, how do you know that? ;)
I know much. :P
But that's Amy Seimetz in the trailer who Carmen Ejogo's character is pleading with and Ejogo calls her something like Faris.

Listen to the crunching of bones during the neo birth!!
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 hugged 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.

Quote from: echobbase79 on Jan 15, 2017, 01:01:57 AM
What was so bad about Shaw? I didn't know she was so disliked by most fans. There's also the prequel novel that Alan Dean Foster is going to writer which will probably shed a good deal of light on what happened to her.
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.

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![close]

Quote from: DorkiDori on Jan 24, 2017, 10:35:15 PMAnd I'm assuming the test screenings only had a temp soundtrack too. The addition of a good soundtrack can improve a film substantially.
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!

that all the engineers on this planet are wiped out from an air strike courtesy of david?
really bums me out that this is their sole inclusion in this film[close]

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!

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.Quote from: Pvt. Himmel on Jan 25, 2017, 10:36:59 AMSpoiler

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 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.

How would you classify your work?
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.
QuoteSo we score Alien: Covenant this week. That's exciting. It's been a journey.

Let's not forget a tremendous amount of work and detail went into Prometheus, much of it for quick shots or things you wouldn't notice unless you froze the screen and studied it. I'm sure the same is true for this film.

Its a real event movie, but a design and interior of oil platform

For that reasons I'm not worried about this aspect of Covenant.
Quote from: Evanus on Feb 13, 2017, 04:26:19 PM
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.

Once again, Logan is releasing in less than 2 weeks. I promise you guys we'll get something then. And after that, the marketing blitz will begin. You got my word.
Quote from: Anthony on Feb 20, 2017, 12:36:01 AMI hope that you are right (as I believe that you are) because the wait has been killing me.
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.

I agree. It's shocking how many people keep saying it looks cheap, like a straight to DVD b-movie. I don't know where that thinking comes from, other than comparisons to Prometheus (which was indeed magnificent visually).

Quote from: Scorpio on Mar 03, 2017, 01:45:36 AMYeah, I personally don't find anti-Prometheus snark very funny. The characters in all of the Alien films act dumb when they give in to fear. It happens in every single Alien movie. The "human element" interfering with the smooth operation of the mission is a trope in tons of types of stories. 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. That's just insensitive.
They're colonists. And the Prometheus expedition were scientists.
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.

It'll probably be the same footage from all the showcases Fox has held.
Unless it's a ruse and it's secretly a screening of the full movie.
QuoteWhile shooting Alien: Covenant, the four-time Oscar nominee was also producing and executive producing other film and television projects including the sequel Blade Runner 2049, which stars Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling.
"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.
QuoteRidley Scott would like to do "Alien" movies indefinitely. "('Covenant') is, dare I say, clever and violent and everything you kinda want," Scott said. "I think it's a cut above what's happened before and leaves all kinds of things open for the next one. I enjoy doing them so much I would like it to go on forever."

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.[close]
Better and better.

Alright, so I live next to a regal cinema 16 screen with a IMAX. Is this type of IMAX screen good enough? Also I see Ridley says the film is meant to be viewed in IMAX, does that mean if I was it on a regular screen they would have to cut out the sides in order to show it in that size theater?
Quote from: salomonj on Apr 08, 2017, 09:29:51 PMNo worries :)
Thanks a lot @ DarthVile and Mr. Clemens
I'll definitely be watching in IMAX :)

Quote from: Necronomicon II on Apr 09, 2017, 01:05:30 PMThat's good.... this effect looks really cool-- yeah, yeah I wanted something more minimalistic, but visually this looks great.
Oooh, so looks like they're keeping some of touch screen interfacing from Prometheus, that's probably Walter's hand.

i'm not that negatively biased to the resurection xeno.
there still is no better alien than big chap,
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1k437S1yH1qc42hdo1_500.gif
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

https://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzybyeOLRd1qjutm4o1_500.gif
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.

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.

Quote from: Darth Vile on Apr 12, 2017, 06:18:44 AMYep, last time Fox was confident we got Logan which was awesome.
Yep - we should start feeling a little confident now that Covenant will deliver. Studios rarely do early screenings if it's a stinker. They must think it's good.

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.

A low grade R. Like Requiem.
Requiem was pretty gory though. Pregnant woman bursting open, chick getting cut in half, decapitations, etc.

I look magnificent, as usual.

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.

No mention of Prometheus :D

Quote from: Infected on Apr 22, 2017, 08:09:20 PM
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[close]

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.

QuoteALIEN: COVENANT embargo lifts Saturday, May 6 @ 8:45PM pst. Run time is 122 minutes.
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.

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."

Quote from: John73 on Apr 27, 2017, 03:06:23 AMThe score was awesome, I agree. Also that scene was far more violent than I was expecting as well. I knew it would be brutal, but that was almost pornographic (in a good way.)
I saw it, and it looked extremely promising. There were two clips, one of the shuttle taking off and landing, the other was the introduction of the neomoprhs. The latter was more violent and disturbing than I was expecting. The score sounded great too. Really encouraging.

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.
Quote from: echobbase79 on Apr 27, 2017, 03:25:22 PM
I'm pretty sure that same guy is working on this too. I don't see why Fox would give it to someone else considering how good a job he's been doing. Both of those sets are brilliant.
Quote from: Mr. Clemens on Apr 27, 2017, 03:38:23 PM
That'd be Charlie de Lauzirika. But didn't I hear that he and Ridley had a falling out and ended their association?
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 27, 2017, 03:37:46 PM
Charles Lauzirika did the Quadrilogy, Anthology and Prometheus sets. Unfortunately he isn't doing Alien: Covenant. I don't know who is though.

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?
Quote from: echobbase79 on Apr 27, 2017, 03:45:29 PM
That's unfortunate that he's not doing it. Curious to know who's doing it though. I wonder if it's RedHouse 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.

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.

Medical definition of in ovo: in the egg, in embryo.
From Old Portuguese ovo ("egg"), from Latin ōvum ("egg").
I understand that. Just not a term that's usually used for them.

I assume this must be Tennessee's spacesuit? Calls it "the big yellow" or something like that?
Somewhat reminiscent of those red hard-shelled suits they had aboard the Prometheus.

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.

Did you manage to get the rating and general gist of the review before they took it down?
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 thought we had a thread for trailers? Well here is one I haven't seen before.
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.
Quote from: Beardomorph on May 13, 2017, 03:58:19 PMYet it is called "Alien: Covenant," not "Robot: Covenant" and the artificiality of the Fassbenderr characters was downplayed in all adverts. This was marketed as an Alien prequel. You are thinking of Prometheus, which was unfairly maligned for not being Alieny enough despite being about the origins and future of humankind and artificial intelligence.
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.

Quote from: Beardomorph on May 13, 2017, 04:06:05 PMFox told Ridley to add aliens and change the title and the story to bridge to Alien. It doesn't get more Alien than that, dude. Sorry, but this is an Alien movie to its core.Quote from: Protozoid on May 13, 2017, 04:03:14 PM

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.

Quote from: Beardomorph on May 13, 2017, 04:27:38 PMNo, but that doesn't make a difference. 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 have better things to do than argue about something so incredibly stupid. The burden of proof is on you to prove that a movie called Alien: Covenant by Ridley Scott is not an Alien movie, but I'm content to let you be believe whatever you want. I just know for a fact that your criticism of Kermode is irrational and foolishly thought pointing it out would cause you to reassess. Oops!

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...

Here's an article from Digital Spy that's says Covenant is one long apology for Prometheus.

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.

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.

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.

Of the alien. It features the alien's entire lifecycle: egg, facehugger, mature alien and queen.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Aug 24, 2017, 09:47:33 PM
Which aren't really visible in the mural as seen on screen. It definitely looks more like the Deacon than an actual Alien to me, though. Much more diminutive. Did we ever find out who actually sculpted/designed that mural? Would love to try and get some background on the intent of it.
Quote from: Alionic on Aug 24, 2017, 09:55:15 PMThis is based on what?
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.

And just for the sake of argument, assuming everything you said is correct and the entire alien lifecycle can spawn from the goo...what exactly did David create then?
Quote from: Alionic on Aug 24, 2017, 10:01:42 PMYes, and his experiments led him to create eggs with facehuggers that require a human host. Yet here you can see on a 2000 year old mural that eggs and facehuggers and queens already existed.
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.

Quote from: Alionic on Aug 24, 2017, 10:29:14 PMThere is a queen in the mural; it's not the deacon and the trilobite is not a facehugger. It is bigger than the engineer, which is quite big himself.
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.

The mural.
Everything shown on the mural is different than the Alien as we know it and as seen in covenant.
We know that many of the properties inherent to davids creation are already present in other goo creatures. Impregnation, chestbursting, acid, enlongated heads ect. David may have created the alien as we know it, but other similar goo creatures appear to have been around for much longer. The creature and images in the mural do not look like the classic creatures because they aren't.
Quote from: TWJones on Aug 24, 2017, 11:28:46 PMThis is just a cop-out. The whole thing is shaped like an egg, which you see.
I don't see any eggs in the mural. I get that the entire thing is similarly shaped, but no eggs on it.
Quote from: Paranoid Android on Aug 24, 2017, 11:20:07 PM
So basically you're saying that David's role in the "creation" of the alien is purely cosmetic. He added absolutely nothing to the creature that had already existed other than its looks.
Quote from: 426Buddy on Aug 24, 2017, 11:35:21 PM
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.

Quote from: Alionic on Aug 25, 2017, 12:01:07 AMIt's not. We're on the same side of the argument: we both think that David being the creator of anything is BS.
Why is this so difficult to understand? David never created the black goo/virus needed in order to create the Xenomorph. It's so baffling how you insist on having everything spelled out for you about this film when you laud the unanswered mysteriousness of the original Alien.

Why is this so difficult to understand? David never created the black goo/virus needed in order to create the Xenomorph. It's so baffling how you insist on having everything spelled out for you about this film when you laud the unanswered mysteriousness of the original Alien.

In this instance indirectly David creates the Jockey right ? I mean if we go by this post?

Hell, David may even be anticipating them doing so and is going to be ready to greet them with his new army of Aliens.
Quote from: windebieste on Aug 25, 2017, 01:24:35 AM
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. [/i]
Well, that's my take on it, anyway.

Did we ever find out who actually sculpted/designed that mural? Would love to try and get some background on the intent of it.

You're take is similar to mine.
I've been thinking Walter might be still alive. He knows where the Covenant went.

I believe it was Julian Caldrow who designed it and Steven Messing who digitally sculpted it.
wmmvrrvrrmm wrote a great article on the mural:

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.

It could be a way of making Prometheus 3/Covenant 2/Alien 5 the same film.

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.

A sequel was discussed at some point, and will likely be discussed again somewhere down the road.

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.

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.
Quote from: Ingwar on Jun 21, 2019, 04:28:31 PM
Yeah, it's easy to blame one person, director himself, but movie-making is teamwork.

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.

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.
