Blade Runner trailer is nearly 2 minutes long and will be attached to Passengers so I'm 99% sure Covenant is gonna be with Assassin's Creed

Man! Blade Runner 2, eh? Already?! Wow, they have been working fast!

[Ingwar]

Yeah, Blade Runner 2049! I still cannot believe it's happening.

[CainsSon]

I'm pretty confident we'll get the English trailer in 10 days (depending on timezone). I believe it'll be early morning (GMT) time.

Is this an indication it may not be with Assassins Creed then? Because should the trailer debut with that, that's the 21st, and you'd think it's guaranteed to leak online? So I woulda thought Fox's strategy would be to put it online to avoid a nasty bootleg version. What do you think?

We must be on the same wavelength. I think it would be foolish not to put it with AC. I feel that we may be getting it sooner rather than later.

I was thinking, after seeing how close the release for AC is to ROGUE ONE (which I just saw and liked a lot) that FOX would try and trail AC just as extra incentive to get people in the theatre for AC.

Any new press events scheduled??

Yep.

[Corporal Hicks]

Lot's of coverage now coming out. Going to get it up in a few minutes. Lots going on currently!

Looks like there's another one taking place or has taken place in Japan.

I doubt it'll be any different though.

New info via DigitalSpy.com?

This is recent as in the beginning of article it mentions the trailer last month so this must be something recent!!

A quote from the article:

Ridley Scott gave us a glimpse of the carnage in store in the first Alien: Covenant trailer and now the lovely people at Fox have treated us to a look at three brand new scenes. It's going to be very violent, very scary and very Alien.

We're not able to share these extended sequences with you at this time but for curious Alien-heads out there here's a full breakdown of what we saw and what it means for the Alien universe.

I will spoiler tag!! What may be new especially the end part.

Though we're still not seeing the 'classic' alien of HR Giger's original design that the poster and trailer teased. This vicious critter is closer to the 'Deacon' revealed at Prometheus's climax, with a bit of Alien 3's dog-like beast thrown in, too.

But it's fast, spiky and hungry for flesh, and shocking proof that this film's not going to stint on the body count. Or indeed the big explosions, as the battle to kill it results in the drop-ship going off like a New Year's firework as Waterston's resourceful Daniels and Crudup's captain look on helplessly.

Meanwhile, out on the planet's surface another team, containing Fassbender's Walter, contend with another mortally poorly crewman, whose body-rending parasite bursts up out of his mouth. As it splurges out and skitters screechily off into the night, Walter looks on impassively, almost with admiration.

In the final and shortest scene, we're led to believe the latter might prove to be the case. In a short exchange between Daniels (the crew's terraforming expert) and Walter, who sports a few bandaged facial wounds, she asks: "What kind of world are we building?" Walter replies: "I think if we're kind, it'll be a kind world."

Nah, it's the same footage as was shown at all the other Showcase events.

Even in their unfinished CGI state, the new #AlienCovenant neomorphs are creepy AF #Fox2017slate

Figures.

[Corporal Hicks]

You're right actually, Himmel. I don't remember that last scene from the other reports.
That said, it's possible it was from the short video Daniels video that was also shown at the other Showcase events.
Yeah it is.

We also got a quick character vignette for Katherine Waterston's Daniels, which was more of a mini-trailer than anything. We see her talking with Billy Crudup's character and it's revealed that The Covenant is carrying 200 colonists, looking to start a new life on a new world. Almost all of them are couples, mean to repopulate wherever they end up. Definitely got those Biblical ties in the Adam and Eve sense and I'm sure Scott will tie those themes into the overall film, much like he did with mythology in PROMETHEUS. "It's our responsibility to investigate."

We see a few quick scenes of Waterston geared up with a gun, looking ready for action, rather than running scared, again giving the impression that there's more to her than a simple space damsel in distress and more akin to Ripley than Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw.

"All of this to start our new life." Waterston is seen talking to the Fassbender android Walter. She is obviously discussing their journey to the planet and expressing her fears. Walter replies, "I think if we are kind it will be a kind world."

"and it's revealed that The Covenant is carrying 200 colonists"

Oh well - that's an interesting bit of info I'll not be burdened with finding out when I watch the film the first time...
