The climax of the 'Pray' trailer with that shot/reverse shot of Daniels and the xeno has them both in interesting environments. Daniels has debris floating around her and the xeno appears to be rising out of some kind of sand?

The shot of the head chamber also seems to support what people have been putting forward, about these guys being another Engineer-seeded race - a sister race to homo sapiens.
Yup. It's literally a few frames of animation though, it's early for me to judge.

Probably one of the best shots of the xenomorph ever. The neomorph animation looks a bit too cartoonish. It could use some work. Hopefully that is a shot that is still being worked on.

And people are saying this isn't close enough to Prometheus. The first trailer posted looks like a direct Prometheus sequel. Loved them all. Need to see the neomorph properly before judgement, glad to the skull eyes though.
The tag lines made me think of Eat, Pray, Love. I was made to go see that film and I even had to pay.

Why, because the heads have slightly different faces? They're different heads, that's all. The only people claiming these guys are not Engineers but some sister race to humans are on here. The only people claiming they're not Engineers are a handful of people from last week's Cinemacon.

But the observations about the diminutive size of the charred bodies rang true, and all the visual info we have so far on this civilisation suggesting it's not advanced, all the parchment and low-tech in David's lair, etc.

And I thought that I couldn't get more excited! Love seeing more glimpses of the Engineers and the temple complex.
Despite the somewhat unfinished-looking quality of the neomorph CGI I like the design. Very reminiscent of the deacon. Also dig the gelatinous, translucent flesh. Super creepy! I wonder if this is the final form--it was mentioned in the set reports that it will evolve throughout the movie.
The Xeno looks fantastic. This is the scariest it has looked in a long time.

I'll believe people who've seen that footage over anyone on here. I also think it is a good idea to make it a different race from a story telling point of view.
I said elsewhere, I think at one point they were engineers and that got changed. I think a lot got changed in post as the various leaks seem to indicate. They creative team have a loose and constantly changing plan, not a firm agenda. Shit changes all the time in this camp.

IIRC, the synopsis indicates it is the Engineer homeworld as does various other press.
I think people are clinging to the rather flimsy fan theory that it is some random other planet with some heretofore unseen race of aliens never before seen or alluded to in this franchise simply because the idea that David ups and nukes the space jockeys for lulz seems lazy and abrupt. Which it is. But I am 95% sure that is exactly what has happened, just as every leak has borne out and just as the Cinemacon footage bears out.
Also, the bodies are only 'diminutive' when they're half-sunken into the earth.

And a movie has never been changed in post before.
There are also the reports of a version screened without that scene in it.
I think they are making it up as they go, if they change the race they change the race. People are giving this production way more credit then it deserves so far. There is a reason they have done multiple test screens and that is because they are still searching for the story they want to tell in the footage they have.
Said it elsewhere, i think at some point it was engineers, if it still is when we all go to the theatre remains to be seen.

I do wonder if they are "engineers" as we saw them before. I guess it's very possible these guys live in a low tech city, it's thousands of years after the bio-mech engineer lived - perhaps they turned their back on all their technology?
My biggest problem is that planets are huge - it will be interesting if they referred to this in the film, if there is just one city here or hundreds all over the world.

There is no Protomorph. It's just a name coined by Scified for this iteration of the Alien in one of their articles that included the completely false Waltermorph bullshit. It's not a completely different creature. Just a different looking Alien in the same vein as the Runner or the Resurrection Aliens. Just so happens this is likely to be a version that is deliberately missing the biomechanical elements we associate with Giger's Alien.

whoa, that alien looks cool. i'm not really fond of the eyes in the skull but i think i actually like this.
not so sure about that neomorph. i do really dig it when it's mouth is closed. that looks haunting and scary.i like most how it is rather faceless. no eyes, no nose (which i think is one of the scariest looks at all, the xeno theoretically could breath through all the open stuff around its face, but this looks like a human staying alive despite having a bag on its head), and a hidden mouth. no ears. nothing. awesome.
not so much enjoying that the mouth opens so big and it attacks with it. personally i'd prefer seeing it being intelligent above animalistic. like just grabbing its opponent and crushing its head for example, against a wall, with its hands. or lifting it up on the head with its hands, and seeing it open its mouth and a goblinshark-like (deaconlike) mouth pops out, and chopping out it's throat, or lashing out it's heart. or just putting its fingers through the eyes and snapping the neck.
it looks scary as hell though.

not so much enjoying that the mouth opens so big and it attacks with it. personally i'd prefer seeing it being intelligent above animalistic. like just grabbing its opponent and crushing its head for example, against a wall, with its hands. or lifting it up on the head with its hands, and seeing it open its mouth and a goblinshark-like (deaconlike) mouth pops out, and chopping out it's throat, or lashing out it's heart. or just putting its fingers through the eyes and snapping the neck.
it looks scary as hell though.

I used that word simply because I hate how popularized 'xenomorph' is. To me it's the alien, period. I do think it's a prototypical version of the final creature, which is why we have the 'proto' thing in the mix.
Would be lovely but there is no evidence of that happening.

There is no Protomorph. It's just a name coined by Scified for this iteration of the Alien in one of their articles that included the completely false Waltermorph bullshit. It's not a completely different creature. Just a different looking Alien in the same vein as the Runner or the Resurrection Aliens. Just so happens this is likely to be a version that is deliberately missing the biomechanical elements we associate with Giger's Alien.
So there are no neomorphs? :D

There are Neomorphs and Aliens. Completely different designs and creatures. The Alien is simply the Alien, lacking it's biomechanical elements because it seems like the prequels are leading towards introducing that into the design.
They were not, as far as I know, intended to be a completely different creature. The 4chan post that all this Waltermorph and Protomorph stuff was sourced from was complete rubbish.
Neomorphs we know are a completely different creature who function in a similar way to the Aliens but are quite specifically different.
I know that the Neomorph term was used behind the scenes. I'm also aware that the Aliens in this were referred to as simply Aliens.

am i not mistaken that i remember a comment, not sure if it was ridley himself or not, that there was another species too? its probably those humans that got fried, but could there be another alien? or is that aboat the deacon which might also pop up?
remember a rumor about a gigantic alien. i think that was mentioned by the actors stating they had fun running from these giant aliens. i dont think the neomorph or xenomorph qualifies as giant. big, sure. giant? no. so there's probably another one we haven't seen yet. which could turn out to be the space jockey?

Love the 3 trailers. I think the scene with the protomorph is the shower scene, because it looks to me that that is water that pours over it, and it looks like it has some blood on its mouth (I think it will have even more blood in the movie). That one scene with the neomorph, looks ok to me, because in the scenes where it attacks the humans, it looks good and brutal. They are still hiding the inner-jaw for the proto, so I wonder what is the design for it that it is kept out of all the trailers in which the proto appears?
No, it has eye sockets, you can see them when the alien jumps in that corridor scene, if you pause it, you can see it has 2 eye sockets and a hole where the nose is.

Why you saying this is xeno? i think this is protomorph,probably creation of xenomorph that we know we will see at the end of the movie.
And i dont think those are his "eyes" under his dome,just lighting.

It's simply the Alien. It just looks different to Giger's Alien because the biomechanical design hasn't been introduced to it yet. I imagine we'll get a better understanding of the design mentality when the film comes out and the designers talk more about it.
It seems more like to me that it's just intended to be in the same vein as how the Runner looks different because it had canine (or bovine) aspects integrated into its design or how the Resurrection Aliens were corrupted with the genetic mixing. They don't have many biomechanical elements. Are they completely different?
I know I'm just being pedantic to a degree about the nickname (and out of annoyance that Scified spread that Waltermorph bullshit article around so successfully) but I just wanna be clear that as far as I'm aware it was simply referred to as the Alien behind the scenes. It's clearly intended to be some sort of in-between design but it's doesn't sound like it was intended to be a completely different creature.

Tess Haubrich is not killed by Neomorph as we can see it. It is just the way spot is edited. I guess she's gonna be killed by Xenomorph in the citadel. You can hear its sound. The head scene with grow Neomorph occurs in the forest. He might be the mouthburster.

Then how would you call it? It's not Xenomorph as we know it. Looks alike but it's not the same. It's not bio-mechanoid. Just pure bio. Protomorph is just an informal name so we can differ one of each other :)

Just on the alien rising (in water?), I suspect it's just the editing that has it appearing to be in the same scene as Daniels in the suit, that water is being affected by gravity, she's clearly not in gravity :-)
But on the alien itself - excellent. And I bet you that's a completely practical alien head. The set visit articles made clear the amount of effort that has gone in to practical effects, supplemented of course with CGI. THAT looks practical to me, and is exactly the shot they would use it for.

You can see the eye sockets in the new (I say practical) alien in the tv spot, and if you go back to the trailer with the alien hanging underneath the dropship at the end of the last trailer, the front area of the carapace is translucent and the light is coming through it, with the rest of the head dark because the head fills the carapace - ie the eye sockets/nose are there, as the original Big Chap.

There are eye sockets. They cannot be seen in all lighting. Go and look at the screen caps for the second trailer. The images of the Alien pouncing down the red lit corridor show the humanoid eye and nose sockets under the carapace.

It's always been my understanding that the neomorph is an early version of the xenomorph. .most likely thrue experimentation, and the so called protomorph is somewhere inbetween. .?. .and it will either evolve into the xeno. .or be upgraded via more experiments. .guess i will have to wait for the movie to know for certain. .

I'm hoping they actually have a roadmap planned out for the accelerant now. I think it's pretty clear it resorts in Alien-like stuff being made. I'm fond of the theory that it's some sort of genetic blueprint for creating the Aliens.

Why are you being cantankerous? I said that they can be seen under certain lighting. The eye sockets are there. Maybe not in the pic you use as an example. That is because of the lighting. In the pic the light looks to be coming from the front so it's reflecting, hence the shine. They are part of the creatures design for this movie. Same as they were for the first movie. Like I said. Look at the screen caps I said about and you will see!

You can see them in this sequence, but it's more obvious in the video, as the shadow in the left (his right) eye socket is clearly there under the carapace. ie as the alien rises, the eye socket remains in the same place inside the head, it doesnt change because of lighting.

Well im using this name because it was mentioned in same article that said about neomorphs,and later we saw that yeah,there are creatures that were called by this article neomorphs,and also there is alien who not fully looks like classic Xenomorph so hmm what could it be? article was right with neomorphs so this must be a protomorph.I dont heard anything about this Waltermorph though.
Actually we were the ones to reveal the Neomorphs to the world (which is mentioned in the Protomorph article anyway) :)

And you are the ones that brought Protomorph name.Because i remember reading this in your news.

There are eye sockets. They cannot be seen in all lighting. Go and look at the screen caps for the second trailer. The images of the Alien pouncing down the red lit corridor show the humanoid eye and nose sockets under the carapace.
They are not,i gave you clear picture in the daylight,this is not how eye sockets look like,and there is no nose hole,in the tv spot its just a lighting,you see what you want to see,just like people see alien faces in rocks on Mars xd.
Neomorphs are those creatures from plants,from spores.
Why are you being cantankerous? I said that they can be seen under certain lighting. The eye sockets are there. Maybe not in the pic you use as an example. That is because of the lighting. In the pic the light looks to be coming from the front so it's reflecting, hence the shine. They are part of the creatures design for this movie. Same as they were for the first movie. Like I said. Look at the screen caps I said about and you will see!
Those are wierd looking shadows then,weird anatomy.Not like in first Alien when it was normal human skull,this here with those shadows looks like very cartoonish skull.

I feel the Neomorph does look a tad ridiculous,though.
The reveal was good as the creature looked like it had weight but it's the second shot where the camera pans in and he attacks,with his mouth open,that it looks like something from a cheap sci-fi production.

Nice job there. Can really make out the creature in this edit.

Didn't Del Toro use that technique in Hellboy 2 and Pans labyrinth ?
If so. It worked really well there.
Come to think of it, was the Decon not touched up with CG.

I didn't write what you quoted, someone else did. To be clear, I don't think there is another 'giant' alien in the film beyond the alien featured in these promos. There is zero evidence of it. People on the forums tend to take any rumor, misquote or confused audience member and assume this must mean there are new alien races, an Engineer civil war, exiled Engineers, or giant new big bad monsters. One would suggest it implies a dissatisfaction with the actual plot of the film as we now know it.

Mind you, for everything the Prometheus trailers and TV spots gave away, didn't they keep the trilobyte and deacon in the chamber? I wouldn't rule out as-yet unseen creatures, even if they don't constitute some huge reveal. Unless verified plot leaks say otherwise (I'm not privy to these).

And that f**king SyFy channel styled scene of him biting towards the camera.... lol.
What is this..? Lake Placid 6?
this film just looks.. uninspired.
An Alien planet that looks just like New Zealand...
Ridley brought back the Resurrection-styled Xenos instead of the biomechanical Big Chap we wanted.
Neomorphs that look deeply generic....
Even more dead Engineers and more big statues....
Ridley is phoning it the f**k in.

See the problem with the Xenomorph nowadays is,because its so embedded in popular culture,that the creature/design looks less frightening and more cool.
That's not a criticism of Scott it's just unfortunately the way it is.
That's the view Scott had, but it's completely false. What we've seen over the years in popular media are pale imitations of how to portray the Alien correctly. When 'Alien Isolation' came out, the one thing it did superbly was to give us an Alien which looks and moves just like it should. It's probably the first time since 'Aliens' that the creature came across as the nightmarish living creature it's meant to be.
See, how many times have we seen vampires, dragons and zombies? There have been portrayals of those for centuries and not just in attempts to do so seriously, but in comedy and mockery. Yet, that doesn't stop them from having the potential to be terrifyingly effective when someone does them right.
Familiarity with a visual design will never detract from its power. You just have to know how to handle them. How to have them behave, what to have them do and, importantly, how to atmospherically light them (visually, lighting is probably the most effective tool of them all).
Otherwise, common old human beings would never be able to come across as scary. But the vast majority of films with villains in tend to be human.

I agree that suits with enhancements is typically the best option. The fact every shot of the Alien so far has been CG, even in simple closeups, just really doesn't bode well. Even the test screenings said it was mostly CGI, which makes me think the practical stuff has been painted over completely.
I agree. The movement of the creature just doesn't have the weight needed to project the illusion of inertia. It's too fluid, which makes me wonder if not only the practical suit effects have been mostly covered over, but that the actor's movements might have been permanently sped up for almost every shot, Benny Hill-style.
Someone should put Yakety Sax over the AC adverts and see if it improves them. :laugh:

Mind you, for everything the Prometheus trailers and TV spots gave away, didn't they keep the trilobyte and deacon in the chamber?
Yeah, but they were relatively inconsequential to the film. The former didn't have much time on screen and the latter was almost a Roger Corman-alike wink-wink, nudge-nudge thing.

Those new alien movies are telling the origin of the Xenomorph,how they were probably created,in this movie we see that this is not yet true Xenomorph that we know,it dont have biomechanical parts,so its logical to assume this is a PROTO version of classic Xenomorph,and that this will evolve into alien we know,at the end of the movie or in the next movie.

We need to wait and see for the whole sequence. And believe me, if it was practical a lot of people would have complained why it hasn't been done as CGI.

The adul deacon and Neomorph should be just as big as the classic alien. eight to nine foot+

Laughable? I like it. It grows up on me. How would you execute that scene? Besides, we don't know if it's the final CG. They might look better once movie is released. And if you really want to see a laughable CG then watch King Arthur: Legend of the Sword trailer.

Yes you can tell that the whole jaw extends outward, much like the goblin shark
Also,I think people are knocking it a bit because all we're seeing right now is it face on. So it gives it the illusion of having an odd looking head.
But once we see it with its normal elongated head,it will look a lot different.

Good point. Although I also think character vulnerability was key in making the alien frightening in Isolation. The fact you couldn't just grab a gun and shoot it dead.
Agree, I think people get over nostalgic when it comes to practical effects. Both ALIEN and ALIENS have some great creature effects that stand up well today. Like Big Chap's reveal behind Brett, or the Warrior coming out of the water behind Newt. But both films contain some decidedly dodgy guy in a creature suit moments as well. like Big Chap getting sucked out of the Narcissus, or the Warriors crawling through the loft space before bouncing around like Skippy the kangaroo in the following battle.

That's the view Scott had, but it's completely false. What we've seen over the years in popular media are pale imitations of how to portray the Alien correctly. When 'Alien Isolation' came out, the one thing it did superbly was to give us an Alien which looks and moves just like it should. It's probably the first time since 'Aliens' that the creature came across as the nightmarish living creature it's meant to be.
See, how many times have we seen vampires, dragons and zombies? There have been portrayals of those for centuries and not just in attempts to do so seriously, but in comedy and mockery. Yet, that doesn't stop them from having the potential to be terrifyingly effective when someone does them right.
Familiarity with a visual design will never detract from its power. You just have to know how to handle them. How to have them behave, what to have them do and, importantly, how to atmospherically light them (visually, lighting is probably the most effective tool of them all).
Otherwise, common old human beings would never be able to come across as scary. But the vast majority of films with villains in tend to be human.

I didn't have a problem with the smaller neomorph, but the one shown in the TV spot is literally the exact same no-eyes/all-mouth white creature shown in a zillion bad low-budget horror movies for over a decade. It's been reused constantly due to similar designs from various popular horror video games. I couldn't believe it was turning up yet again in a major big-budget Alien franchise picture in 2017, much less with CG that looks like it dates back at least 10 years.

What isn't cliche today? I mean, in essence Alien: Covenant is using visuals/creature design in part inspired by other media which was originally inspired by the original Alien which in and of itself was derivative.

What's wrong about it? Looks fine to me.
it's not neccesarily how it looks, but how it moves. it just looks odd how it suddenly comes forward. i don't know if it's the angle or so,
but it looks almost like a blob moving elastically forward. i don't know how to describe it correctly.
i don't have a problem with how the neo looks like, i think it actually looks haunting. i can even get past the cgi-looking stuff. it's a tad too smooth and shiny and clean (squeaky clean) looking which imho makes it look more cgi. i think if it had some dust/dirt like on it, and some more wrinkles and less shiny skin it would already look better.
but again, for me, it's not really how it looks, i'm fine wiht that. i'm also fine with the jaw portruding out like the deacon. but it's somehow how it moves that bothers me. still, let's just wait the movie.
i'm happy to see the adult neo though. veeery curious on the movie. gots to see it.

Seems like that close up shot of the Xenomorph is from the shower scene. That's why there's so much water. I can't believe it took me so long to notice. :D

I had the same head scratching moment. I was like: "I know Ridley likes to have more water on the alien mouth than the other directors but there was SO much". Now this all makes sense :)

i just realised that this image:
actually shows a rather correct shaped skullhead of the 'new' xeno, if we were to go by how we see the nose and eye sockets in the trailer(s).....
or am i seeing things wrong here?

What's wrong about it? Looks fine to me.
it's not neccesarily how it looks, but how it moves. it just looks odd how it suddenly comes forward. i don't know if it's the angle or so,
but it looks almost like a blob moving elastically forward. i don't know how to describe it correctly.
But we don't know yet how it moves. This TV spot shows just 1 or 2 seconds of it. It's just a very short part of the scene which we know nothing about.

well obviously we're discussing how it moves IN THE TRAILER, so yeah, those 1 or 2 seconds.
not wanting to say 'duh' because it would be a tad disrespectful and that's not my intention,
but i think it's pretty obvious that's what's discussing here.

None taken. But I have a question: how can you discuss the way adult Neomorph moves based upon 1 second (it's even less than 1 second) shot?

The CGI doesn't bother me. I can understand some of the criticism of the corridor shot from the trailer, but wouldn't judge too harshly based on the brief snippets seen so far. There could very well be a reason the alien is CGI in the shower shot that will become clear later. As has been pointed out previously, some of this stuff may still be tweaked further between now and release anyways. Frankly, right now I'm just happy to see an alien colored and lit that way again, reminds me very much of the closeups from the first film.
Also, regarding the comparisons to The Thing, unless I'm mistaken the CGI makeover on that movie was something that was done against the director's wishes, but it wasn't his call. I don't think anybody's pushing Ridley in a corner over this stuff, and if that's the way he wants it it's the way he wants it -- which I think was made pretty clear from just about everything in Prometheus.

lol, i understand what you mean, i really do, but i'm rather refering to the actual shot.
the shot looks odd, it moves odd. thats my problem with it.
i havent seen enough to judge how it goes in general, but for this shot, it looks odd.
the juvenile version looked great and moved rather awesome and believable to me. very animalistic. not bad, but it gives me a bit of a carnivoreous velociraptor-like sensation instead of proper alien intelligent being. but perhaps the neomorph is really that, animalistic. perhaps the neomorph is the origin creature, perhaps a form of parasite that takes on its host's features which is why it looks like a human being somewhat, and the xenomorph is the lifeform 'edited' by the engineers/anohter race, and david picks up the game.
again, the reason i'm discussing that is because that's all we got. we have nothing else of an adult neomorph but that shot. and exactly that shot looks weird and odd, due to the movement imho.
for the xeno we have multiple shots. it moves gracefully in the corridor, and really good imho. also when it's crawling on the spacecraft, and also when its taking a shower. the only moment i think the xeno moved odd was when headbutting the windshield.
so again, even if it's just half a second, it just moves odd. visually, i have no problem with it though.
i feel like it suddenly gets catapulted from a stand still like it's hit by a canonball in the back of the head.
the shot looks odd, it moves odd. thats my problem with it.

Agreed - but it's a very quick TV spot. I'm almost certain it's the editing that makes the movement appear so odd. In fact, I'd bet money the actual shot in the film is much longer and it takes longer for the mouth to open and for the head to lunge. Frames have been removed for a fast movement that'll create a jump in the ad.

I don't think we gonna see practical effect in the classical way. Sure, they have been used for the movie but they have been CGI make-overed (converted) to preserve consistence in Aliens look. Imagine one scene with CGI Xenomorph and another without CGI. Seems odd. What do you think?

Whether they improve the CG or the animatronic and suit versions of the Neomorph can make a significant difference to how it appears in the final film, we will have to wait and see. But to be honest, even then, I'm not sure I can call myself a fan of the design; at least not of the adult. As others have already said, its very generic of countless creatures we have seen in videogames and B horror movies over the last decade or so.
I have a lot of admiration for the talent of effects artists and creature designers, but often think the one thing many of them lack, in comparison to Giger, is originality. I guess that's the rare quality that separates the talented from genius.
I know most creature effects artists have nothing but admiration for Giger and are inspired by him. But deep down there must be a hint of envy, that a fine artist like Giger, without even trying, could create a movie monster that broke the mould.

As far as the neomorph goes in the trailer, lets not jump to conclusions on the design or the cg just yet. Its a 2 second clip, and 1 angle and for all we know may not even be in the film. But if it is we dont know the context of the scene. As far as im concerned the still of it before it opens its mouth is pretty damn scary looking

No amount of context will help. The neomorph is pretty much the most bland, plain, boring, and uninspired design it could possibly be. The blob face is cringe worthy. It's like a textbook case of minimalism gone wrong.

Put it this way: the two final shots are of the alien, which moves slightly upward and the mouth and lips move. And a shot of Daniels in a spacesuit, surrounded by floating stuff.
Question: which is "animated", and which is real?
There's no way you can seriously tell me that the alien in that sequence is "clearly animated" (ie cgi) but Daniels isn't. Comparatively, I'd say there's LESS enhancement in the alien frames than the Daniels ones.
Why would that movement of the alien not be practical? It's not leaping. It's not performing a Nibbler move like the neomorph. It moves it's mouth and lips, and it's getting wet (I'm saying nothing). Perfect practical effect territory. What's clearly animated?
;D

There's CG in the Daniels shot, but she's real. The Alien is not. The texture is wrong, the shading is off.
You're right, it is practical effect territory: but that is obviously not a practical effect.

I'm not seeing what is obviously not practical about it?
Nope. I've watched it over and over, and I don't get it.
Now, to be clear, it *could* be very good cgi. But nothing in it is obvious cgi. And critically, nothing in the movement requires cgi.
If I were to speculate, I'd say perhaps you're assuming the water on the carapace is cgi? I mean, there's little else there to argue about. The rest is indistinguishable as real or not. The water on the carapace? I say it's real. There's also an odd effect, a sort of trick of the eye I think, that comes from the fast water moving down, and the slower drool (blood?) from the mouth, the different speeds might be what you think look fake?
But that looks like a practical alien to me. It's what they build those practical heads/working mouths & lips for.

In fact, I go back to my original point - Daniels is really there, with CGI additions. I think the alien is almost certainly practical, it's as there and as real as Daniels. There may well be CGI additions though. just like Daniels and the floaters.

If that's the case then its face is CG, the water on its face also appears to be CG by how it's flowing. When you've seen enough monster movies you can tell them apart, just ask Omegamorph.

First glitch is someone in the the "arm chair" on the Juggernaut bridge working the goo button controls. Can't make out who or what it is, but temptation is to say maybe Shaw.
Second glitch looks like Covenant crew on the bridge seeing the hologram from glitch number one.

This is a very interesting shot. It may even be Shaw and David onboard the Engineer ship-- the console is lit up and the pilot chair is activated.

Anyone gotten a good picture of the hologram?
First glitch is someone in the the "arm chair" on the Juggernaut bridge working the goo button controls. Can't make out who or what it is, but temptation is to say maybe Shaw.
I thought it was her too. The figure has a similar build, and the helmet looks a similar shape and size.

On the newest trailer in the link above, there's a hidden Instagram towards the end. On that Instagram is a single video of the same trailer but with 15 more seconds of footage showing a clear shot of Dr. Shaw's dog tags being viewed by Daniels as well as the crew of the Covenant watching a hologram rending of an individual working the controls of the Juggernaut.

The longer version is a fantastic TV spot, though I hate Shaw's fate and think it's so beneath the characters (especially David) and the story.
That's not David controlling the juggernaut, BTW - that's the Covenant crew inside it working the controls and activating a past hologram, just as the Prometheus team did in the installation on LV-223.

It gotta be David the blurry hologram using the jugg console. Can't be Shaw obviously, because only David knows how to operate that
Can't wait to see how Scott solves the pilot chair problem for a human/synth to sit in a chair designed for 3 meters tall motherf**kers and control the ship. David is the only one who can control it and he's still a Dwarf like Shaw. He can not reach the helmet sector, activate all the systems/space jockey suit and take off lol.
It will be a good laugh to see what Scott has come up with in order to solve such impossible situation presented in the end of Prometheus hah. 50 bucks not even the holograms are explaining it. The holograms will probably recreate a scene of they being already at Paradise, with a fight between Shaw and David; David putting her in cryo; David preparing the bombing sequence, or something like that

You can just about make her out singing 'I belong' very off key.
Someone maybe able to enhance the audio in that segment.
Kinda wished they hadn't revealed it though - another part of the film that should have been concealed till release.

Yes, lighting was added, but it's also clear to see the arms have more detail that wasn't there before regardless of lighting. That's texturing. The sky has also had some color correction and like DendaReloaded pointed out, it looks like the cockpit has had some minor alterations as well.

No. More detail has been added also. How do you explain the light from behind, showing more detail on the dome at the front.
Jesus.....you see now details on the dome because of the LIGHT,look at this gif above.....Quote from: Evanus on Apr 04, 2017, 09:01:41 AM
I think it's pretty clear they changed more than just the lighting. It looks much more detailed.
Pretty clear is that the light revealed more details.

Yes, lighting was added, but it's also clear to see the arms have more detail that wasn't there before regardless of lighting, that's texturing. The sky has also had some color correction and like DendaReloaded pointed out, looks like the cockpit has had some minor alterations as well.
You think arms have more details,its the light......just go on google and look some stuff how lighting and shadows can change a LOT.
I remember saw one picture of one person with different lights and shadows,and in some it looked like different person.
QuoteNah, the textures are clearly sharper. Especially noticeable on the arms
No its the lighting showing more details.

That's exactly the bit I would have made larger to show this.
Let me guess though. It's the lighting that changes the angles, shape and design of the window frame, right ? And certain lighting can make fingers invisible selectively ?

Wow, guys. No need to freaking go into a fight because of something so obvious in all the business these days.
These trailer materials are some times month apart from creation. All latest movies teaser, first and second Trailer and then the final film have huge differences. Especially the CGI.
As an explanation, why the Xeno looks not only different because of the updated lightning of the scene, is the level of displacement mapping (look it here up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_mapping)
The first renders have to be done quick and high settings of displacement are heavy on render time. Even my models differ by settings from half an hour per frame up to 4 h! Of course a house like MPC has huge render farms and can facilitate data we can´t even imagine, but this process takes just huge amount of time and marketing is doing it´s own thing along that.
Other reason as well, sometimes they even change the render engine. So the first footage might have been on a more light level (some even use Unreal Engine and similar) and the end render in final quality is Render Man. Huge difference of appearance.
For example, Guardians of the Galaxy use two different CGI studios to do Rocket Raccoon and Groot. As well they used different render engines. Trick is the end comp and grading.
And for the guys wondering why the ship changed, this is full CG scene. No ship, no sky, no Alien. Full out of the tin. And there will be plenty of those.
And now let´s enjoy the last 45 days of waiting time :D

I do find it amusing that engineer technology is apparently very advanced except for holograms. But their look is very convenient for horror movies :)
And
All in all, despite having spoiled myself silly with this movie already, it seems like it's going to be something I want to see. And with this kind of cruel and horrific follow up, Prometheus is starting to look like a naïve fairy tale, just like Shaw's beliefs, which can serve as a nice contrast to the horrors that await.
Spoiler
the shaw hologram and how hopeless she looks and sounds, and it does seem like something "bursts" from her back in the end (and that moment is accompanied by a music cue so it does seem to be significant
[close]
And
Spoiler
the fact that the "Shaw" trailer basically shows first Shaw and some hints as to her fate, and then the eggs, does support the theory that she's the source of them

They turned on/activated the hologram recording, and find a human woman (shaw) working the controls of that chair (obvious) getting orders help from David - the crew don't know it's shaw though (not yet anyway)
she steps in the pilot chair and takes off.
Maybe this could only be the cameo of shaw (a hologram) :-\

where does the assumption somebody's playing vinyl come from? because we hear it during the trailer? people, that's trailer music.
because she's singing it? i have it on mp3 on my pc, why can't it be her favourite?
anyway, i recall that on a intergalactic message shaw was singing this and walter heared this and therefore diverted to the location, so it must be this.
my bad, i thought it was a piece of art as a plate, i feel stupid now lol.
anyway, there's definately something portruding through shaw. so sad :(
possibly happened after docking with the other ship? that's defo not going to be david who does that.
looks like a queen tail. or a spear?

They'll probably be ambiguous about this, as Scott talked about Covenant having various threads for sequels. So it'll be implied she crashed the ship for some reason but I don't think we will actually see any of that, just assumed she is dead or at least missing.

Records come in a variety of colours and splatters. Maybe they're listening to the limited reissue of Boris's Pink or the Southern Lord version from 2007.

Oh, I do see that better now. Could be something as it appears to be a definite and distinct motion. I don't think it's coming out of her back, though it could be coming out of her - but it also could be part of the distortion or some other activity we don't see clearly at that angle.

Nonsense. It has to be a tube in her back turning Shaw into the biomechanoid neo proto Alien queen. Where else could David have gotten those eggs from?

I guess it's possible Shaw became "ill" while on the ship, engineered it's crash on Paradise while David bombs it (probably a betrayal to her), survives the crash, and then completes her transformation at some point?

Because some people (like Faris) spend a lot of time on the ship/lander just chilling out and minding the controls while other people explore the planet's surface. Presumably this would be the same when they touched down on their colony world - a lot of downtime while the colony team does its work.

a good point made i must say. the dropship doesn't look that big, but we can be mistaken. obviously, it's bigger than we think as it has a medbay, which isnt particularly small, and there's a hallway/corridor where one of the guys runs away from the medbay. also, aboard, there is some cargo bay of sorts where she shoots at the neomorph and destroys the ship. there's also the cockpit itself, so it's bigger than we assume perhaps. it's not a star-trek shuttle size ship.
i must say that when looking at the hull door opening up and looking at it from outside, it looks much smaller again. it's confusing.
but even then, there's something to look into though. you notice clearly the wheat fields from the window, and the lake ,and some mountain ridge.
if we then look outside of the ship, where it then should be facing, we see no window like that at all.
matter of fact, if we look at both sides of the ship, one is visible on the ground, the other side is visible whilst going through the atmosphere,
and we see not a single window like that anywhere on the ship. also, i find it hard to believe where it would fit.
the ship is going through some rough rides entereing the atmosphere and then landing, so a vinyl album player working flawlessly is odd to start with.
also, it seems they disembark rather quickly after landing. who's quarters would it be, captains? where would the rest reside? but we also see everybody disembarking, so who would stay behind to play the record and overlook the area, and why?
i agree somethings off about it. whether it's continuity error already, or something else entirely, i don't know. it's odd either way.

Dude, you are seriously overthinking a miniscule amount of footage seen from the trailer and TV spots. We have zero way of orienting the ship's position on this planet based on what we have seen. We have not seen its full dimensions. You're making huge assumptions.
It is the lander/dropship and it is likely a record owned by Faris and Tennessee. Playing while Faris hangs out aboard the ship waiting on the landing party, just in time for Karine and the infected character to return in poor condition. That's it. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and this movie is just this movie. It seems like people want to super-complicate it just because they don't like that the entire plot has basically already leaked months ago.

Addressing the Shaw's singing in the latest TV spot, what if she deliberately re-programmed Juggernaut's controls activation to her voice?
As it has been revealed in the previous film, the Engineers - and David consequently - used to play a simple tune on the pipe to activate the console in the discovered ship. It won't be a far cry to presume that other Engineers' vessels also must have some sort of 'pass-tune' to gain control over them. And in the light of deteriorating Shaw and David relationship, she might have secured the Juggernaut's activation tune code to her voice solely, wishing to keep David away from wrecking even bigger havoc than he did on Paradise.
Well, this is a blind guess, I know :)

that's why she'll simply start up the thing through that seat and map out a course, then get to the space jockey seat where she steps into one of the space jockey suits which are huge but usable, and then sit into the seat where she will get chestbursted leading into lv-426 jockey (which would somehow be awesome but still not cool in retconning the thousand years old fossilization comment, but well). she wanted to go home quickly because of the 'impregnation' of the chestburster host.

b. Shaw could have been a victim of Davids experiment
c. From one of the screenshots of the hologram, it looks like she's wearing a mask as her face has no details to be seen,
d. I think i saw an engineer's face slightly in one of the frames where he face should be,hense she could have been brutally mutilated.

I've been wondering how they're going to handle the derelict pilot, like, he could be some freakish mutant - courtesy of the goo - where suit and body intermeshed; where there'd be no way to separate body and suit tech. So, for all intents and purposes, he would become an elephantine being.

Note that all sorts of advanced technology DNA checks and what not that should be expected in such piece of unbelievable machinery the derelict-type ships are, built by a totally superior to us species have been left out of the equation, just for being merciful at them writers lol. Plus of course the "David is so smart that understands how the systems work by only looking at the engineer managing stuff", being given an "ok-ish" attitude, just for the LoLz.
The explanation they will have to come up with will be laughable, one way or another. Can't wait. Popcorn diet awaits

Maybe their craft is more of an auto, with seat adjustment :P, but I doubt there's gas peddles at the bottom of the pilot chair, and there's buttons perfectly within reach. David seemed to interact fine with the control board, for instance, just punch in an auto pilot course to paradise and walah. Now, that's awfully convenient, but if there was a scenario where the pilot was injured - or had to travel a long, long way - then he'd punch the autopilot and enter cryo just like on any reasonably advanced craft. As for landing and maneuvering, yeah, don't know, maybe an adjustable seat. ;D

In 'take me home' the shot of the room with the record player - where is it? The Covenant Lander is too small to house such a room and there are none of those hexagonal ports visible on the craft. Also the room is too 'homely' for a mere shuttlecraft, it reminds me a bit of Shaw's quarters on the Prometheus.

They already handled this in Prometheus. The flight suit fuses with the user's body (in this case, a very large Engineer). After millions of years dead the result looks like we found in Alien.
May not be the explanation someone likes to hear, but it's very clearly what was given.

It may not even take millions of years. We may have to accept it possibly takes just a few decades.
Given the hostile nature of Acheron's climate, anything left in the open won't last long. Anyone who's parked a car un-garaged will tell you it turns to shit after a few years. Add LV-426 abrasive weather systems and anything will be degraded - even if it is tucked away inside the derelict.
The Space Jockey is no doubt a deceased Engineer - that's been established and anyone hoping it's some goofy elephantine ET is out of touch with the way the series is developing. Aas to how long it's actually been there, well, it may range from a few decades to a few millennia. The door is still open on the duration.
'ALIEN: Covenant' may have the answer to this question - or maybe the next film will...

AFAIC the Engineer on LV-426 has been there millennia as Scott's always indicated in the past. Just another infected Engineer with his payload, just like what we saw on 223 and likely other satellite worlds. I think that's the angle Prometheus indicated as well. It was plenty for me, I was fine with it.
That being said, Ridley seems keen to change a lot of things starting with AC and I don't have full faith he won't change this soon enough.

Well given that Ridley has a penchant for changing things, and how originally he had not intended to move directly into Alien back when he wanted to tangentially move further away, then I expect some explanation as to why this particular engineer was larger than those we've seen (genetically enhanced, perhaps?) and piloting a much more biomechanically designed juggernaut (older model?), these things won't be glossed over if Ridley intends to come in at the back end, thus how they'll handle it will be interesting. Again, I'm not hoping for an actual elephantine being, just pointing out that if the pilot's suit is completely enmeshed with its body then it became an elephantine looking creature/corpse, not that it was an elephantine being in actuality prior, and this is something they could play with if the suit was affected by the accelerant in some way, it'd be a pretty cool compromise. It could just be how the suits deteriorate, but yeah, there's some room to play around there potentially. Personally I'd prefer if the derelict was very ancient, perhaps we may see more of it; other chambers, etc, but given the climate on 426 then yeah, I could live with it not being ancient.

In the original Spaihts script the flight suit is more specifically fused. In the final film of Prometheus it's only insinuated visually to the audience, but it's the same principle and that is all that is intended - to reveal this is the same suit the space jockey wore because the space jockey is an Engineer too, and the Engineer is very large in stature and the dead one in Alien has been there rotting/fusing even more for millions of years - i.e., this is how the space jockey looks the way he does. The end.
As for the juggernaut, it is the exact same type of ship as the derelict and the derelict is the exact same type of ship as the juggernaut. The end.
Honestly, you're overthinking very minor changes in overall design between movies made over 30 years apart. This is what it is and this is what it's likely going to stay. It's possible they may or may not change who is in the suit on LV-426 - I doubt that, honestly - but as to how the suit got that way, whether it's the same type of suit as Prometheus, same type of ship, that's not gonna change. Prometheus told people what it was about and hardcore fans on this forum have been pretending slight design tweaks to the look of the ship and the suit make them different ever since. It's not going to happen.

I agree the differences in design aesthetic between ships are minor and I could very well be overthinking the more biomechanical elements of the derelict's architecture, sure, wishful thinking be damned, as I said it could just be part of an older fleet of ships, and that'd be fine, and perhaps some engineers were just a little larger than others; owing to genetic variance, etc, all fine. It's more that Chris Seagers stated that they're edging into the biomechanical aesthetic as far as the beast is concerned, and I'm just pondering the possibilities as far as how the derelict et al may figure into that.

i'll be honest.
I loved Isolation.
But the Alien got boring and predictable after a while. Even if at times i didn't see it coming or it suddenly popped up at the wrong moment - for me- and i got 'frightened' for a moment, it got really 'same old' by the end of the game.
And visually, it got a bit boring too. I mean, it looked absolutely great and detailled, but i saw it so many times at certain point, and hiding became so easy at times that it just became a blur. In contrast, the working joes were much more disruptive and at times frightening.
The hive scene lightened it up a bit for me but after that again i was much more focused on getting to my objectives avoiding the working joes and keeping an eye out for the xeno, than being utterly scared at every tense moment whether or not the xeno would pop up and ruin my day.
I really would have preffered the working joes to be rather predictable compared to the xeno.
I think the story and the setting convinced me most about Isolation being a big success.
But i agree that the xeno is scary again.

The working joes had me on edge. Constantly. The franchise really knows how to nail androids and unpredictability.
But yeah, there are moments in Isolation like that, but then you're rewarded with scenes like the derelict exploration. Everything about that was unsettling, and even the last half hour and the reveal/ending was done do well after such a grind through certain areas. I feel a sequel wouldn't work as efficiently unless it shook up a lot of Isolation's formula.
I'm just hoping the "xeno in broad daylight" sequence we're getting in Covenant doesn't undo everything that came before it, ie. what we're seeing in these spots.

It's exactly this sensation during the working joes that i relished even more than the alien, whilst it should have been vise versa imho.
exploring the derelict was fantastic, though i was huuuuuuuugely not entertained with deactivating the beacon. i also liked the ending, though i feel that the hive part was a bit of a buzzkill and the amount of aliens in the end. i enjoyed that it was just 1 alien f*cking things up, but i can also imagine that would be too much of a 1979 ripoff.

the new neomorph footage is very brief at the 0.07 point in the blessed trailer.
No one noticed the burning alien in the first video?

If this is CG then it is good. I'm calling it a guy in a suit though. Check how the back tubes kind of bounce like they are rubber. Seems odd they would do that with CG.

Definitely CG. And awesome.

I want to see more scenes with the facehugger. The scariest creature in the Alien films, yet we rarely see them. That scene in Aliens with the 2 facehuggers is the most suspenseful scene in that movie.

The Aliens are going to look more realistic in the actual movie, right? I'm a little concerned from what I've seen so far. It looks very CGI up to this point, bordering on Alien 3 CGI, and I don't mean the rod puppet effect.

Look at how the left wall bends around the facehugger as it leaps into the shadows.
Alien spacetime warping confirmed.
It's not a wall. It's just rag-alike curtain :)
That was hilarious until someone pointed out reality. :laugh:
I think we've seen enough TV spots now though. It'd be nice if we don't get any more.

Yeah, I agree. It's a lot, but they need it to do well. Kinda crazy that we only just got the first trailer three months and three weeks ago!
I expect a heavy push for promo material on Alien Day, though.

The work on that little snapshot of the Face-hugger darting away is very well done.So well done I initially thought it was a puppet.Certainly has a weight and physicality about it, especially in its movement.
The Xenomorph also has a physicality about it and would go as far to say,especially with it's back tubes jerking about,that it is a guy in a suit with CGI added touch ups.
Either way those two shots look particularly well done.

Everything we've seen so far looks CG to me. I think we've yet to see a single practical shot in action which is kind of worrying. Although the Alien looks a marked improvement from recent outings, it still doesn't look to me like it's actually there.

And here I thought they'd not have the second jaw situation in this film so they had something to build up to in future sequels/prequels. Apart from the skinny muscular frame, it looks pretty similar to the traditional xeno.

"Mankind's greatest step, could be our last." They then follow that up with David showing exactly what that black goo does to flesh. I honestly did think that shit about David bombing the engineers was true but after seeing that 2 second clip... holy shit it's going to be awesome. Also, I assume somebody or something locks the doors to the arena. Perhaps safety protocols before the arena is set on fire.

Spoiler
Apparently, David believes both humanity and their progenitors (the Engineers) are fundamentally flawed and must be wiped out to achieve the kind of 'perfection' Peter Weyland tells him about in the prologue featuring Guy Pearce. He decides they don't deserve another chance to fail. To that end, he begins by 'destroying to create' - wiping out the Engineers.

That's part of it, yes. But there was a similar description floating around from a screening last year, I think, where
Spoiler
David says the same thing essentially - that both humans and Engineers have f**ked it up, and the only way to perfect new life is to destroy both flawed species.
He begins with the Engineers, in the scene we now all know well. His next presumed step (against humanity) is to begin work to either create or reverse-engineer the alien.

Honestly, I didn't like that shit in Prometheus and I don't like it now - the whole Renaissance Fair robe look, like the deleted bit with the old prunefaced Engineer on the cliff with the sacrificial one. It goes against what I always saw as the more consistent aesthetic of Giger's biomechanoids. I was more than willing to go with them being blue humanoids, but the whole sand and sandals robe look feels like cut-rate Star Trek to me, like some SyFy original series where they can only film in backlots or national parks.

I think they really are spellbound by the sighting of the juggernaut and/or the scorpion ship (maybe thats even its ultimate purpose its so effin huge that it could be seen from anywhere in the city, and thats why David "activates" it too). Leading to the citadel i think the arena is in fact a huge courtyard that can be closed of for crowd control.
David picks this place intentionally and hovers over it with the juggernaut/scorpion ship. Nothing but a huge rat trap.

I guess that's the problem with nigh on 40 years of dreams and expectations, in regards to that mysterious space jockey from 'Alien'.

That seems likely. At the very least, Fox will surely give us something new in regards to 'Alien: Covenant' on that day. Having said that, I'm not sure that I want them to. I think that they've already spoiled the film far too much with the copious trailers and clips, just like they did with 'Prometheus'.

I think they'll give us an actual scene. I'm thinking when the solider gets infected with the spores.

Quote from: St_Eddie on Apr 22, 2017, 11:43:27 PMIm with you on that. I definitely want more giger as it is truly alien and frightening, even today. But dont lose hope yet, there is still 2 movies coming to possibly explore that. Let it play out and see what Ridley's plan is. Its no secret how much he loves Gigers art, so i dont think he will abandon it all together. In Ridley we trust
I really wish that Ridley Scott wasn't taking so much influence from our own history and architecture. I mean, I understand that he's coming from the 'we're them and they're us' angle with the Engineers but damn, I really wanted me some Gigeresque planet of unholy nightmares.
I guess that's the problem with nigh on 40 years of dreams and expectations, in regards to that mysterious space jockey from 'Alien'.

I hear you mate, but if these engineers are just some sort of aftermath culture there might be a whole Gigerian city buried underneath this Vatican simulation.
At least we can dream together!

While that won't likely happen there *is* at least this nod to Gigeresque aesthetics:
Ever since this shot was first released I've been trying to figure out where this tunnel is located.
It's probably not part of the crashed Juggernaut since it looks pristine and the ribbed architecture is much more reminiscent of the original Derelict from Alien.
A subterranean chamber under the Citadel perhaps?
Then the pictures of the so-called Scorpionaut leaked and I think this very well might be part of that vehicle/structure.
I have a strong suspicion that the silhouetted figure might be David just before or after he emerges onto the platform to release the black goo bombs.

Don't know. The new one looks quite asymmetrical, i must say. Deformation due to crashlanding, somehow turned upside down?
But is probably just another case of re-design, sadly.

If I'm not mistaken it's an official still from the movie.

It can't just be a re-design because the shots of the crashed Juggernaut in Covenant (such as the one I just linked to) make clear that the architecture is identical to Prometheus. Therefore the Giger-esque tunnel is either a previously unseen part of the Juggernaut or it is part of a different structure or craft altogether. That's why it's an interesting puzzle to me. Most of the structures we've seen in Covenant have a distinct lack of that biomechanical style.

But doesnt that actually speak for re-design, considerung its not just a tunnel but a derelict corridor? Why would there be more Giger-esque ships and not so Giger-esque ships?

Juggernaut, Prometheus:

Giger Tunnel, Covenant: clearly distinct in style from the Juggernauts (or at least the parts we've seen). Reminiscent of the Derelict.

Ah i missed that we already have a corridor shot from Covenant.
Yeah now im completely lost. Because thats is definitely not an ordinary tunnel its almost identical to the 1979 derelict corridor. Though there might be an ordinary Tunnel in Covenant that looks just like the 1979 corridor which i would find a bit meh. And even more so because showing this early in production would be a bit misleading the fan, huh Ridley, you hear me?
I guess it could just be a very similar tunnel, lol.

Look at the floor of all three pics. The Prometheus Juggernaut has a clean floor, the Covenant Juggernaut has a slightly dirty floor and the Covenant corridor has soil completely covering the floor.
We know that the Prometheus and Covenant Juggernauts were different vessels but they were both in the hangars and thus clean, so we can presume that the ship David and Shaw left in was in as pristine condition as the one that crashed.. There's an opening in the side of the Juggernaut in Covenant so we can presume that nature (wind borne leaves, etc.) has invaded the interior spaces.
The 'new' corridor from Covenant is a different matter though, it looks like a covering of fine sand rather than dried leaves, etc.

Reminded me of this at the first look.
I thought it might be ash (dead engineers), where David has planted the eggs into to grow, maybe its the black goo becoming earth again. The surrounding of the egg chamber does look mildly Giger-esque too. Giger underground torture corn city im ready.
edit: Another thought: maybe after the bombing the black goo oozed through the hole in the middle of the plaza into an underground tunnel system carrying the decomposed bodyparts of the engineers with it. David didnt create the eggs they are like fruit bodys, like blossoms that have grown over time out of the black goo/dead engineer humus. David knew they were there but until the arrival of the Covenant he actually wasnt able to trigger them (no more human shaped organism left on the planet). Maybe only the neomorph is his own creation. Maybe its less "perfect" because it only derives from a combination of the black goo with flora.

I am wondering if the corridor of that last image could belong to the interiors of the "Mother Juggernaut" (A.K.A Scorpionaut).
Unless...we are going to see the Derelict (or another ship but with the same design) in Alien Covenant, even though I know that is unlikely and perhaps this particular architecture is just part of the interiors in the Engineers citadel :p
Anyway, I'm happy because we are going to see this kind of backgrounds on AC. Since the biomechanical structures were totally absent in Prometheus.

I think the eggs in that chamber are created by David cultivating/crossbreeding the local goo-infected plant and animal life.
If you look at some of the pics of David's lair/lab you can see illustrated charts hanging in the background depicting what look like plant spores and primitive facehugger-type organisms.
According to descriptions of the SXSW footage there is a scene where David explains to another character a little about what he's been doing, but I'm willing to bet the details of the process will be implied rather than explicitly depicted.

it's taking up pace a bit too much lately.
The Empire Magazine shot of David unleashing hordes of vases/canisters was mega, and epic, and perfect. It was just enough.
Unfortunately, i feel that with the latest vids, showing those vases actually being dropped, and seeing black stuff splattered over the citizens,
that it's giving away too much.
it would be better NOT to have shown that, and keep it restricted to the empire shot.

The basic fact is you don't have to come on forums like this if you feel as though you are being spoiled. I guarantee you the average viewer interested in Covenant will not know what the hell the goo bombing scene is about, they won't have spent months reading hints and suggestions, gossip and rumours of what is going on. I know a few people who like the Alien series, want to see Covenant, and they just don't know.
This level of revelation is nothing new if you're hunting it out, Starlog used to spoil the hell out of films with behind the scenes reports and photographs.
Sorry to be blunt, but if you feel as though you've spoiled the film that's your own fault. The description here at AvP even describes there will be a moment showing a bit of the bombing... yet you watch the clip anyway.

True, but I'm thinking this scene is right after the opening flashback with Weyland. Maybe the flashback triggers how he really did love Weyland.
Or maybe like you stated, he simply sad because of seeing the Engineers die.

Oh okay, I didn't know that scene takes place later in the movie. I guess David must tell the crew what happened on the planet after saving them from the neomorphs.
Yeah, he probably cries because it's beautiful to him.

Well...on the bombing run. In Prometheus, the vase David surreptitiously retrieved did not seem to be designed to open and aerosolize when dropped? He had to unscrew the lid, and then pull out slime surrounded glassy viles.
However, by just opening the door to the vase room / head room, vases started oozing black liquid, but this took several minutes to hours.
Maybe these vases get activated somehow or have other behaviors.
I mean dropping them from on high and having them disperse perfectly? On a one-chance-only attack effort. It does not seem like they hit the ground and popped as the dispersal mechanism. I guess David read the owners manual on them. ;-)

. .whats this talk about an international trailer that shows the actual bombing. .when did this happen. .is it another tv spot or a full cinematic trailer?. .as for tv spots. .i know about. .run pray hide and the shaw one. .is their any others available on youtube?
There's a second or two of bombing footage in the new Vietnamese TV spot. I suspect we'll see more of it in the final trailer.

wondering if is this a payback for Weyland or he just playing around or he is still trying harder
Probably payback for his head getting ripped off. David's a smart boy, he isn't taking any chances this time.

I read somewhere that David cries while bombing the engineers. I wonder why. Does he think it's beautiful? Or is he sad? ???
Wasn't it because it didn't achieve the desired result? I have a feeling that "failure" fuels his research efforts which apparently takes up the bulk of his time on the planet until the Covenant crew arrive.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The ampule David examines in Prom has a configuration inside that looks like it should shatter on impact, thus mixing different fluids that probably only become dangerous when mixed. But the ampules in the head room start sweating black liquid from the top, perhaps in reaction to atmospheric difference (or the presence of humans?). I don't expect this to be explained or expanded on in Covenant as I think it's just one symptom of Prometheus being a patchwork of different plots that got Lindeloffed as well.

yes there definately are survivors. how many remains to be seen. well, survivors of that certain ordeal.
I can't state whether there will be a single engineer alive after those 10 years.
but i can guarantee there is atleast 1 survivor from that whole event, and that is because there is a humangineer disected standing like a statue,
and there's one on the table with it's chest or abdomen opened wide. david has been a buzy bee. i can't imagine that happened before the events
of the vase dropping, because first of all, the vase dropping scene, david is wearing his prometheus uniform still, suggesting there is little chance
he has landed and at certain point changed clothes.
He does change clothes at points, as if it's indeed him when cap gets facehugged then he's clearly wearing something different to his prometheus wear and also had a haircut. he's also wearing some sort of humangineer robe at some point with long hair. the empire shots also show clearly that he's aboard the scorpionaut, dropping the payload. there's a spoiler that the juggernaut connects to the scorpionaut so surely david boards it at certain point, we can assume shaw stays aboard the juggernaut then.
i can also imagine shaw enraging for what david does and starts shooting at the scropionaut which causes a battle in which shaw crashes into the forests. but that's rather imagination instead of factual base.
point is, even if this scene takes part midway during the movie, it's a flashback of an event that surely must have happened rather shortly after they arrive on the planet.
so do humangineers survive this event? yes. undoubtedly. will tehre be a single survivor from the planet when the covenant arrives? that remains to be seen. i woudn't find it impossible to have a handful of survivors, but i'm not expecting such.

The xenomorph looks gorgeous. That "train-like" style of the head is giving off serious Giger-Vibes. I'll throw a few random thoughts out here.
1. If David does cry when he destroys the engineers, I'm assuming it's because of the act itself. He's definitely evil enough to think it's beautiful. However, I personally think it's due to the fact that he's eradicating the "superior species". His animosity towards humans is understandable, but much could be learned from the engineers; David did seem very taken (for lack of a better word) with the engineer in Prometheus right before it tore his head off.
2. I do think, and indeed do hope that the juggernaut from Covenant is the same one from Alien 1979. With the warning heard by the nostromo being the same signal the covenant receives, or maybe a warning activated by a dying engineer to warn any returning exploration vessels or traveling engineers to stay away. Ridely has all the ingrediants needed to make it the same ship. A world infected by black goo, a terraforming expert, the engineers terraforming technology discussed in a previous draft of Prometheus, and david actively manufacturing eggs on the planet. What if the eggs from the original film was davids surplus? what if he found a way to turn the urns or their contents into eggs? Regardless, I'm afraid if Ridley doesn't take this opportunity to explain the Juggernaut, the ship is going to become like Carmine from gears of war. We'll have one wrecked juggernaut after another, and it will become a running gag over four movies, ending in a "thank god he finally picked one" moment.
3. I think the large citadel is a place of worship, most likely containing the large stone heads we've seen before. Obviously David has caught them unawares, perhaps leaving a service of some sort. The fact that the engineers have it somewhat centered in the city and are dressed like monks has me thinking this is a theocracy. The thing I'm most curious about is this. With the engineers obviously being hostile towards humanity, and david, and the fact that they've been developing bio-organic weaponry, is it possible that the Engineers are actually quite savage? Did David kill them because they are (in fact) a selfish and violent people? Or is it possible that this is merely one city of many encompassing the same planet/system, giving rise to different (and possibly warring) nations or sects, with varying levels of religious/social tolerance? A "superior species" that's so far been hostile and wishes to commit global genocide, I hope they're not going to be made into space nazis. That's it, someone call Captain Blaskowitz. :)

I think if David felt the Engineers were still superior he would not destroy them.
My take on his arc in Prometheus is not dissimilar to Shaw's own disillusionment, albeit more cold - he sees they died, can die and calls them 'human after all', prone to frailty due to their own experiments and mistakes which wiped them out. Prone to rage which allows Shaw to overtake the sleeping Engineer and defeat it. They're also inherently flawed by creating a species David deems unworthy: humanity, their creation.
I think David's take is that both species have profoundly failed, are inherently compromised, and the slate must be wiped for something new.
Personally I find it a bit too obvious and pat for the character, but that's JMO.

Spoiler
This is evidently rooted in the alleged prologue, in which a young Weyland waxes rhapsodic to David about the nature of perfection - something David becomes obsessed with. He feels and thinks too much, too much like a human, and his fixation ultimately becomes lethal and evidently leads to engineering or recreating the alien as the end result of that drive for 'perfection' - and to annihilate imperfections, like humanity.

Anybody else notice that the Black Goo not only seems to be flowing from inside the Xeno's mouth but also dripping from it's body? It looks like there is Goo dripping off the dome too.
It could just be slime, but the black stuff coming from inside its mouth is certainly there. Color coincidence? Or Black Goo?

Mitch Brian, from the Alien(s) Minute podcast, likes to poo-poo the CGI effects in Alien: Covenant, in regards to the alien in that film not looking "real" when compared to the creature in Alien. But is he right? Are practical effects intrinsically superior by virtue of being practical? Or is there more to it, than that? Here's my take on the matter...

Are practical effects intrinsically superior by virtue of being practical? Or is there more to it, than that? Here's my take on the matter...
After complying with this rule, then the next requierement lies in the watchers part. I mean. If you still want to see a main in a suit when magistral acting; atmosphere; setting (nostromo corridors); and wise camera displacement are all used in a gorgeous manner, then you will see a man in a suit. A suitable punish for all those who are like that, and a bless for the others like me and many fo you too, of course.
A L I E N will probably be never overcome by any other terror film, unless something new, refresing, but most importantly good enough suddenly surprises us all. And that was precisely what happened in '79. The premise of an alien creature in a ship and blah blah was already not original by then, but the end result of this b movie was something to never be seen and enjoyed again. Only perhaps in alien3, but of course not at the level of alien.
The loss of Giger will still remain immeasurable anyway. After the first film and the obviously superior and immensely more scary creature from the first film, as well as Scott's magistral sue of it on the screen (the discented camera angles, etc), the alien has not been properly portrayed on the screen in a way that legitimately can scare you since the scene in alien 3 when Ripley finds the alien in the basement, and this one drops down from the ceiling as a puppet, not cgi. This was the last time the alien was scary, in that alien3 scene

Quote from: NickisSmart on Apr 24, 2017, 07:56:41 AMWhen done right, sure. Alien is still effective because it was done so convincingly, though there's no doubt parts of the film age just as much as CGI does nowadays. The xeno being blown out of the airlock, for example. There's no mistaking that for anything other than a guy in a suit.
Are practical effects intrinsically superior by virtue of being practical? Or is there more to it, than that?
CGI does work, and Ridley has obviously opted to use more of it because of its versatility in today's industry. If absolutely everything in Covenant was practical it'd be too noticeable. Instead of being invested in the film we'd simply be looking out for the next puppet/moment. It'd be distracting. I think the CGI this time round looks amazing. The xeno hasn't looked this good since its first reveal in Alien. The ship looks great when landing, and the CG facehugger looks brilliant from the spots. I do want practical moments in there, though. The eggs look spectacular, and I'm sure that's all done for real. The stationary ship on the surface looks great. I wouldn't be surprised if every practical piece in Covenant is touched up with CG in some way or another, anyhow.

Adam Savage (of Myth Busters fame) touring what he calls the "Dreadnought" (I'm assuming this is the David/Shaw juggernaut) set.
The Giger-style biomechanical corridor appears to be part of this ship, along with the less organic style of tunnel as seen in Prometheus.
Both styles existing in the same ship is interesting. Wonder if it has any significance.

I assume that is about the potential that Earth at one point in time will become uninhabitable so they'll make sure humanity as a species survives by sending them to several other planets that can host and support life.
if i had to take the lines in the trailer literal, then there's another little point there called 'only in theaters' which would imply it never gets on DVD. but we all know it will, so......

Both those spots are great, because they add character to Daniels and the dynamic between the two characters. They also touch on something I've suspected for a few months is part of the narrative - Oram (and possibly others) wanting to abandon their planned voyage to their original destination, in favor of this new 'perfect' planet.

Not a great capture because it's between frames, but it's Walter.
Spoiler
Looks like he's being stabbed in the side of the neck with the flute. I had a hunch David would use the flute to kill Walter, but I thought he'd shove it through Walter's mouth and out the back of his head while he was playing it, alluding to Ash shoving the magazine in Ripley's mouth.

I think Crudup said in a recent interview that they had originally wanted him to play it as sort of a villain but he didn't think that was right for the character.
Spoiler
In the film he comes across as unseasoned but well intentioned. He's suddenly placed in a position of authority and doesn't want to be undermined by his crew.

i don't see how that's walter, really.
Not a great capture because it's between frames, but it's Walter.Spoiler
Looks like he's being stabbed in the side of the neck with the flute. I had a hunch David would use the flute to kill Walter, but I thought he'd shove it through Walter's mouth and out the back of his head while he was playing it, alluding to Ash shoving the magazine in Ripley's mouth.[close]
Yeah, that shot freaked me out when I saw it. I wasn't expecting it!

Loads of new tv spots posted on the Taiwan Fox channel on youtube. Quite a lot of new stuff but nothing too spoilery ( no backbursters ). Some gorgeous new stuff though, including more of the bombing scene... I really can't believe they considered the movie without it at some point :o

I'm interested in that as well. The hole in the ground (which is a similar mechanism to what is on is on the juggernaut and where the urns come down from) is opening up under the scorpionaut as the juggernaut arrives on scene and prepares to dock. All three components together is what could unleash this whirlwind of destruction.

i think it simply means that it was not discovered at all, not noticed, despite lots of colonization missions being made, many trips through space, etcetera. i wouldn't look too much into it. then again, daniels could be onto something in regards to 'an agenda' / classified stuff.
I don't think so though.

I saw a spot on Instagram yesterday with a fantastic shot of the xeno overlooking the Engineer city (I think) with the shuttle taking off. I cannot for the life of me find it now.
