The Next Chapter - New Alien: Covenant Featurette

[John Doe]

I like how Ridley shows a Peter Weyland older than how he looked on Ted Talk.

Well, the AI stuff did happen after the TED talk.

Would someone be willing to get a screenshot of it? I just don't want to watch the whole video.

[SpeedyMaxx]

It's like 3 minutes long.

It's not like he's ever going to publicly say "it was deeply flawed" or "pure shit"* just to satisfy a corner of the Internet. That's not what most filmmakers at that level do.

(* - not necessarily characterizations I agree with on either count, though I do think the film is flawed)

There's a difference between not bad-mouthing something and actively upholding it as an example of what he considers to be scary. This potentially has direct consequences for the direction of this new film. The concern has always been that this sequel might simply give us more of the same, rather than acknowledging the predecessor's flaws and trying to correct/improve upon them.

But I have to admit that A:C looks pretty menacing.

In fairness, so did the first 'Prometheus' trailer, which ultimately sold us a very different atmosphere to what we actually got.

Is it supposed to be choppy? its like watching a webcam.

[The real AG]

I maybe wrong, but it looked more like the Juggernaut just drastically slowed down from some sort of hyper speed mode.

That's just not what 90% of major studio filmmakers do with films like this. Prometheus was flawed but it wasn't Plan 9.

I personally am skeptical about the film on some levels and don't think Covenant is likely to be the greatest thing since sliced bread myself, but I can recognize when you're putting an undue and unrealistic expectation on a commercial filmmaker in their PR blitz. It's simply not realistic to expect a major filmmaker to go out there on the press junket when he did the last one as well and say 'I want angry nerds to know I have heard them and I apologize.' He's not a politician caught in a sex scandal. A studio wouldn't allow that. What you're talking about does not generally happen except in select cases.

Guess I just meant I didn't want to watch it in case of any spoilers beside the Neomorph.

[locusta]

Yeah, I nag now. Don´t wanna spoil the show, but me not so happy with the little Neomorph CGI here. At least in these snippets it looks terrible obvious digital. :/

Well, might be not the final material we see here. Let´s hope.

[JCDenton]

Correction it actually is 7 moons!!

Where are you seeing seven?  There looks to be a Moons entry on the planet profile but it's very blurred.  Does it say '07'?

It looks like 07.

Thank you. I wanted this to end once and for all the idea that Paradise could be LV-426. That`d be the dumbest thing ever - even beyond AvP:R.

The planet parameters are all different from LV-426, so THIS IS NOT the same planet/moon
