Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS -- and connects directly to Scott's 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world -- whose sole inhabitant is the "synthetic" David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

Previous release date: 6 October 2017.

Looks like it, unless David dropped her off somewhere else... but why?

Also, looks like the "new travelers" will be a ship full of dumb-ass colonists.

It's either going to be handwaved away or her fate will be a point of interest in the story.

Still 100% better than the stupid wet dream fanfiction Blomhack wanted to make.

It's October according to the Instragram update.

[The First Child]

this is an interesting concept, however I feel that they should focus more on Elizabeth and her quest. Hopefully they don't just kill her off because it was to hard to make her work.

They might  be taking the Force Awakens Luke Skywalker route.

Seems as if the prequels are all named after the main ships to feature in their respective stories.

Nobody outside of the production team knows what that story is meant to be about. You can't judge it any more than the rest of us can.

[Alien³]

Damn I am excited for this. All the more so considering its sounding somewhat similar to my Prometheus II fan script.

[oduodu]

So does that mean the one tieing into alien will be alien: derelict ??

So no explanation on how david had his head re attached ??  I wonder what the year will be ? Before or after 2122 ??

Beatnation is a troll account that needs to be deleted.
