I doubt much will change.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Feb 04, 2016, 11:27:04 PMI'd say Prometheus was more stone, not metal. The metalic I was referring to was the concept art by Gutalin. It's never overtly said why but it just seems like Arthur Max didn't like Giger's style.

Of course the rest of the building was stone.I was referring more to the interior but that still does have a metal appearance. I just notice the stone a lot. Regardless, the absence of the real biomechanical is the most noticeable.

Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Feb 05, 2016, 03:29:45 PMIn truth, he hires artists MUCH, MUCH more talented than himself. And there is wisdom in that. If you are in a position to hire people to work for you, always surround yourself with those who are better than you. Syd Mead, H.R. Giger...

I doubt much will change.Apparently Chris Seagers will be the PD for Alien: Covenant.A production designer is a bit irrelevant on a Ridley Scott film anyway.Ridley may be visually brilliant and a very talented artist but the scope of any film of his has always been much too large for him to be designing everything. He hires equally talented artists to himself and then picks and chooses what he likes and doesn't like. Ridley is the curator not the creator.
Quote"In a sense, no major production designer or art director would ever work with Ridley, because Ridley wouldn't let him do what he wanted. But Ridley would be right in doing that. He started out in design, you know, and he always knows what he wants. Frankly, Ridley is one of the best production designers ever."

Regardless, the absence of the real biomechanical is the most noticeable.I read a couple of interviews with him last night from around the time of Prometheus' release and he was saying that he/they decided to making the Jockey stuff much more mechanical and metallic looking. He was talking about how they had to backwards engineer everything so that it could eventually evolve into what we see in Alien. So I'm guessing the black goo is somewhat responsible for ship we see in the original movie......
