When can we expect news about Alien: Covenant sequel?

[CainsSon]

Prometheus was in 3D, though.  And 3D tickets are more expensive.

If you actually break it down by number of tickets sold instead of $$$.

K, and Covenant had Alien in the title and xenomorphs, which were supposed to drive more people to watch it to make up for that non-3D deficit.

A strong argument can be made to say that calling it Prometheus 2 would have guarantees as much if not more money than calling it Alien

[skhellter]

Would probably make people run away from theaters, too.

They should have just called it Covenant.

Calling it Prometheus 2 doesn't make much sense.  Prometheus is the name of a ship.

I'm 31. A Lot of Millenials never saw the original ALIEN(1979). I think PROMETHEUS(3D) did way better because it was sold as "The Return of Ridley Scott to Sci-Fi".

Most people in Earth known Ridley Scott as the Director of GLADIATOR or THE MARTIAN(3D).

Youngsters and most Millenials never saw ALIEN and BLADE RUNNER.

That's a really neat trick since he made The Marian after Prometheus.

TIME TRAVEL CONFIRMED IN COVENANT 2!

[Scorpio]

Prometheus was a big success for a number of reasons. 

I would say the cast had a lot to do with it. 

The fact it was in 3D when 3D had just become really popular.

Being a prequel to Alien (even people who have never seen the original would know the brand).

I known. Then, Ridley is famous for GLADIATOR and BLACK HAWK DOWN.

Most people of my age and younger than me never saw his old classics. Most youngsters only saw movies since 1999. LOL....

Sad but true.

[Scorpio]

That is sad. 

I've watched films from the 1800s.

If you don't watch old films, you can't appreciate new films either.  Cinematic evolution.

And I'm sure you'll be able to provide some actual evidence of just how 'true' this is.

For example: the original Star Wars Trilogy(1977-1983). Everyone in this Planet hear about the original trilogy but most of my friends never saw them.

My friends only saw the more modern Star Wars(1999-2017).

[Corporal Hicks]

That's a fairly small sample pool, I'm afraid. I'd be quite confident in saying many many many many people have seen the OT trilogy. Maybe not in it's TE form, but they'll have seen it.

[Rudiger]

My friends only saw the more modern Star Wars(1999-2017).

Damn. Those were three dreadful movies.

[SiL]

PierreVW's friends are not a statistically significant sample size.

All of them are Millenials just like me.

And in my example I was talking only about Millenials.
