So Zavvi have put up a bunch of home releases for Alien: Covenant and AC included boxsets. They've got the release date down as the 31st of December 2017. No further details but they've also got a cool looking exclusive steel book cover.

Makes me feel stupid for buying the anthology bluray set this year.
I'll be buying covenant when comes out. But unsure of whether buying anthology or quadrilogy
Interesting placeholder design! I can't help seeing an embarrassed expression on the Newborn's face ;D
Just needs the facepalming Space Jockey to be complete!
US release date is apparently this Fall. Pre-order's are up at Amazon for dvd/bluray/4K editions:

I really love this design...
oh heck yeah, day 1 for me lol
that looks freakin sweet
The COVENANT Steelbook looks great but the Cover Art on the 6 film boxed set needs a lot of work. Here's hoping that by 'PLACEHOLDER' they mean 'PLACEHOLDER.'
TBH the only thing that could entice me to buy this 6 film boxed set is if there is some crazy amount of new Special Features or an extended cut of PROMETHEUS and/or COVENANT. Otherwise I'll wait for the trilogy to wrap up before buying an all inclusive set.
This series has always delievered the goods for the Home Releases. Whats taking so long for an extended cut of Prometheus Scotty!? Same goes for Covenant. We can tell you cut alot out... Psh.
The Covenant steelbook is amazing!
I'm just dying to know what special features are on this. I don't envy whoever has to step in after CdL. They've got some high expectations to meet.
Did he say why he's not doing it?
No. Just confirmed on Twitter that he wasn't doing either this or Blade Runner.
The Alien Covenant Steel book looks nice. The alien anthology set is not worth it. They do this every time a new alien film comes out. In a couple of years a new alien film will be released, thus a new box set will feature that film. Best deal was the exclusive alien anthology set that came with the light up egg.
I'm hoping it's not like Prometheus where the Steelbook has basically no special features, then a couple months later they release a Collector's Edition with all the extra stuff.
Makes total sense to do a new cut or an alternate one to watch alongside the original,maybe more new cuts of Alien,get rid of Lambert's trainers for god's sakes,AC will have tons of deleted stuff I bet.
Sept. 17th in France :

Did he do the extras for Blade Runner the final cut ?
Think he did most of the Blade Runner editions. But I'm not sure.
I am pretty gutted that he is not doing Covenants Home release. :'(
Sorry for those not in the blu-ray/home video know but who is this "CDL" and why is it sad he's not working on the BR Covenant or Blade Runner home video releases?
I've no idea what this discussion is about either

He did the Blade Runner Final Cut itself (in collaboration with Scott). He was also the producer of the Dangerous Days documentary and all the other bonus features.

Cdl = Charles de Lauzirika. He did the making-of documentaries and extras for the Alien Quadrilogy/Anthology as well as the Furious Gods documentary for Prometheus. He is also the man behind the Alien 3: Assembly Cut. It's sad because his work is incredibly in-depth. detailed, interesting and thorough. It was done with real passion for the subject.
Oh no! No CDL is VERY sad! I look just as forward to his awesome 3+ hour documentaries as the
actual films themselves, I wonder WHY he is not involved?
And I hope to God Ridley does a director's cut of COVENANT... Not a bunch of outtakes like with
PROMETHEUS but an actual new cut.
This is an off-world colony mutiny by a single sociopathic skin job!
Thank you Eighth Passenger for the detailed info about Charles de Lauzirika!
Well I shall be getting the DVD and Blu-ray of this lol. well the blu-ray version with the most extras anyway

QuoteWhile the Fox will release a single steelbook all over the world, filmarena has managed to get an exclusive steelbook for " Alien Covenant ". The back side is identical to the international one, but the front and the inside are different .
