Alien: Covenant Release Pulled Forward & Fox Offers First Glimpse Of The Alien

[motherfather]

If "Run" is the new tag line.....I like it!

Ditto. This is already perfect in my eyes. Now all we need is a movie that backs it up. I want to run to the cinema right now.

Yay! May is perfect - we usually have loads of public holidays around then. T minus 6 months and counting.

In the poster, if you cover the bottom half of the head with your fingers, you can almost kid yourself into thinking you're looking at an egg or ampule...

Wonder if UK might be getting it earlier again like Prometheus?

Nah, earlier release for Australia this time around. Treat for the host country. 

They would still have gotten it first even if the release date was the same the world over. Aussies are from the future don't you know? 

But seriously though, do you have the international release dates schedule?

I don't but I'll ask.

If I'm remembering correctly, wasn't there a trailer for the trailer and a week long countdown last time?(Prometheus) and that was just for the teaser? 

You're remembering correctly. It's a pretty common occurrence these days. The release of anything tonight is a massive longshot and quite unlikely (as nice as it'd be!) but we can all hope.

How do you know...?

It's mostly common sense. Mostly.

Executives think Covenant will do great, just heard that.

Heard they liked the cut they were shown too.

How do you know that guys? Anyway, I hope you're right.

Common sense is of no use in this world...

11 minutes till the half time if I m not wrong...

[The Alien Predator]

The slogan sounds like they completely ran out of ideas (no pun intended). I really hate that choice of wording. It needed to be a clever play on words or at least harken back to the original. I was hoping for something like, "In paradise, everyone can hear you scream," etcetera. Just "run" feels really cheap.

I wonder if this might be Phase One of the marketing plan, and we'll later see "HIDE", "PRAY", and "CHANGE YER SHORTS" teaser posters... 

LOL!

Send your resume to Fox, Mr. Clemens. They should hire you for the marketing department management roles.

Oh, I know. This isn't my first rodeo.

I'm sure you can dredge up posts of my being similarly senselessly optimistic in the months leading up to the trailer for Prometheus.

[Enoch]

You are probably right... but common sense is
still of no use

[Ingwar]

We still don't know who is gonna to make a score.

[PsyKore]

'Run' is perfect. This poster brings danger back to the Alien.

So is this following up In the Flesh Part 2 as sung by the Queen in a Nazi uniform?



Also, since the skull has been brought up, I wanted to ask: Am I the only one who has never actually noticed it in the movie? I've only ever seen it in production stills and such.

"Run like hell" - doesn't anybody remember that line from AVP2?  In the alien campaign just after you've become an adult alien..

Anyway, I'm glad the smooth heads are back.  Was never a fan of the ridge head variants.  To me, the ridge heads just seem like cannon fodder bugs.

What about the skull?  It's your duty to hate it.

I really love the skull.  In fact, it's the only thing about the predalien I like.  But it shouldn't be seen to clearly, only hinted at.
