New Alien Covenant Poster!

[Enoch]

Pure speculation on my part - anyone else think this could be like a mural in an Engineer temple or something? Like an historic event? So not just artwork for marketing purposes?

There will be grand murals in Covenant!

[Evanus]

Holy shit I only just saw this AND I CAN'T BREATHE.

The posters keep getting better!

Yeah I'm really thinking this might be lining an Engineer temple wall!

Would make for an eerie scene!

[BonesawT101]

Beautiful and majestic.

Would also disprove the "david created the xenos" theory.
He's just recreating.

We know there will be a great mural in Elder Shrine (as I call it). We ll also see various
different statues outside and inside the shrine. That part of the movie will most probably
build that famous mysterious atmosphere and the sense of wonder like that in Prometheus.
And beneath the citadel, a workshop from hell... Mixture of Frankenstein, Island of Doctor Moreau and
Miltons Paradise Lost..

Would also disprove the "david created the xenos" theory.

That is already disproved!
100% I dont know why people think its David...
He ll probably be the one to show us the true origin of that ancient beast or dark angel as
they called it! David is some kind of narrator of the story, like Virgil in Dantes Inferno or Milton in
Paradise Lost... but not the passive subject of the narrative but also an integral part of it.

There looks to be a female body in the lower right portion of the poster. It also doesn't look it it is being attacked so much as in travail (childbirth..?)

[SrSpinelli]

In the top there seens to be a format that is similiar to a Queen's head

[Evanus]

Could this be in the movie? I hope so. It would mean that David didn't create the Xenomorph.

holy f**k f**k f**k  this poster is gorgeous

[fiveways]

I love this.

BUT

It reminds me of VHS cover art. It looks f**king great, and we will see absolutely none of it in the movie.  It's like the cover of the classic R.O.T.O.R.cover vs the film R.O.T.O.R. itself.

Could this be in the movie? I hope so. It would mean that David didn't create the Xenomorph.

Spoiler

I still don't think david straight up creates it, but he refines it.  The biomechanical parts will come from his tampering

SIR PETER PAUL RUBENS
The Fall of the Rebel Angels, 1621



Rubens engraving is pretty much similar to the works of Gustave Doré.
His Paradise Lost series obviously influenced this poster in many ways.

Engineers are then the Rebel Angels in our version of the story
What are the Xenos then??

I suppose you're right. It's better than David creating it from scratch, but I still don't really like it.

[FiorinaFury161]

Very nice.

I think this is a set piece!
