The birth of the protomorph along with the generally shoddy CG in Covenant utterly destroyed any future interest in covenant and the alien franchise for me. Abysmal in every way.

That aside, what did you think of the story?

My friend is close with an FX guy from Scott Free. Here's a candid Neomorph Prop used in Alien Covenant.

Sorry, but I don't think this is from Alien: Covenant.

It's from a fan film called BIOTIC (which states it is inspired by Covenant).

Thanks for the correction, Sabres.

In the second part of our look at modern production design, KFTV talks to Chris Seagers about his experiences building sets for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror Alien: Covenant.

Scott’s sci-fi follow-up pitches a crew of space travellers against the iconic xenomorph monster that the director first introduced to audiences back in 1979.

Production was based at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney, where Seagers and his team built an immense set of the Covenant – the movie’s main spacecraft setting.

“We spent a couple of months at the RSA (Ridley Scott Associates) offices in London brainstorming the design of the ship and how to put it together,” Seagers tells KFTV of the genesis of the Covenant spacecraft as the crew's home.

“Ridley was very ambitious with his ideas and it turned out we didn’t have the budget to realise everything he wanted, but he thinks on his feet and is very much up for figuring out how to make it all work – he loves ingenuity.”

Thanks, Hicks!  I've been parched for info on the ship(s)...

Did David have facial hair when he first found the crew?
I know his hair was long but I can't find a good pic of his face.

Thanks, Rabbit! Holy shit! There's just an absolute shit-tonne of stuff in there! I had assumed a lot of it was hold-over from when it wasn't an Alien film but there's still loads tagged Paradise with Alien in there!

Including previz for a cocoon sequence?

Do you mean these?




The idea of the Alien jizzing the cocoon stuff on people is a bit much, I reckon xD

And wtf was this?!



We need those pre-Covenant scripts!

This should have been the neomorph in the final cut. Good god, it's terrifying.

Kinda reminds me of the Leech man in Return of the Swamp thing

Actually with this design this could easily be Dead Space adaption - the main enemies are called...wait for it ....necromorphs - http://deadspace.wikia.com/wiki/Necromorphs
