I wouldn't hold out for a script release. That thing and all knowledge of it might get shelved indefinitely, in case the studio wants to take ideas from it later, or make the movie somewhere down the road.

Unless the success of the comic version of Gibson's Alien 3 lead to more script comics. Then we may yet see the 3rd prequel, just in a different form than we thought. Unlikely, but who knows?

If there is no 3rd prequel script available, then I'll take comics based on the script.
For instance "Firefly" / "Serenity" had comics done by Whedon which are considered canon.

Maybe Ridley will be able to produce a graphic novel for the 3rd Alien prequel?

I'm not getting my hopes up or anything. But it's not unlikely with all the other unused scripts floating around.

If we don't get a third movie, there will be no saying for a fact just who or what David became. If no movie is green-lit, I do hope Ridley is gracious enough to answer such questions for the fans.

He said a script's already done. So worst case scenario we might have that at some point.

* Short answer; Except for The Martian, Ridley likes to have scripts altered in the production process as his ideas take form. 
- Long answer; A script for the 3rd prequel is better than nothing but it could be changed in fundamental was if a 3rd film gets approved by Disney.
In Scott's Alien films and Blade Runner, he likes to have two writers, with one revising another's script.
That process allows Ridley to inject more of his ideas in the script discussions, filming and editing.

I really hope a 3rd prequel gets made.

So far Space Jockey is an Engineer and always will be no matter what.

David will never be Jockey. I simply don't understand Alien fans who can think that way. It will never happen. Impossible. Please, just stop :).

David definitely has organic components. He needs food and his hair grows. I don't know if he'll end up being the jockey, but there's a lot of foreshadowing that the biomechanical alien is his spawn.

Not to mention way over the top, androids don't have dna or anything truly organic in them, they are synthetic and Aliens can't use them as hosts nor should they be able to.

The only notable exception was the meat construct that was Elden but he was built using actual organic parts which allowed the Black Goo to mutate him.

Androids don't but we know how David likes to play God. Aliens can't use them as hosts, but given how Ridley did start the entire series, i wouldn't put anything past him at this point. I think at this point too, we can say that Shaw helped created the first version of the Alien egg due to Davids experiments. How i see it

David experiments on Shaw, > Creates first egg based on human female ovary system (Hense egg) Hense more organic alien, (Still with traits of Alien) later on, proceeds to play god even more, injects more of his android traits/DNA into alien, thus Bio-mechanic Alien we have there after in. that's just my personal theory.. Nothing canon or anything that's just how i see it right now. By the time the 3rd movie comes along, we should have a more complete time-line as to the alien and Derelict (i hope)

Or. Basic theory that the Aliens were made from the get go to be used as a bio-mechanic weapon. Who knows, i still like the mystery of that part of the alien.

Where is that "space asteroid with the carved faces" image from? I don't think I've seen it before, but it's super-cool.

I found the "space asteroid with the carved faces" image at Artstation. The concept artist is called Greg Semkow. And the Gigeresque concept art was made by the artist Caelan Stokkermans.


Belated reply, but thanks for the links.

I dearly hope it isn't that, predictable and blatant or "On the nose." As R.S would say.

If Ridley actually turns David into the Space Jockey... he'll be an absolute madman.
That's been my theory since day one.
Hence the biomechanics of the Alien.

Well he said Prometheus has Alien DNA or something in it. Aliens were more Bio than mechanical in Covenant, David playing god, injects his own Android DNA into the alien to give it his own personal look or feel. he boards the Space Ship, alien breaks lose, kills him, meanwhile all the eggs in the Derelict are eggs made from all of the people on the Embryo ship he hijacked or something on the lines of that.
