Any confirmation of Production Start Date?

[CainsSon]

Ive heard conflicting things. First I heard February, then March and now April...

Does anyone know which of these is reliable?

I never thought I'd have another Star Wars and Alien film shooting in tandem. It's like I'm a kid again.

From the horse's mouth:

At the press conference Ridley Scott also confirmed that shooting of Alien: Covenant would commence in March 2016 with Michael Fassbender arriving in Sydney in mid-March for a 16 week shoot.

The last update said April was when shooting would began. It's slowly been crawling further away.

Yates also said that shooting would commence in April.
