he's probably hedging his bets... if the movie turns out to be good, then i'm sure that Scott will try to take credit for it! XD

Pretty sure he said that about Nepolion 😅

Embrace the mystery. It's one of the things that makes Alien great to begin with.

@@joachimvandenheuvel507 No! All questions must be answered! Prequels! We must have more prequels!

I think the nostromo went to lv426 because they picked up on some sort of signal while returning home from a job they were in the process of completing. I can't remember if it was a distress signal or otherwise, but I do remember their hand was forced, and that they would get in big trouble, and/or lose their pay if they didn't respond/investigate.

@@gilbertsanchez5116 😑

We knew exactly why Nostromo was redirected to LV 426. It was to recover a life form. And the crew was expendable. That was iterated quite succinctly by ash before he puked up milky lubricant, after attempting to rape Ripley with a magazine. And also when the captain was in the special room with Mothers a computer. I think he sees that it says cruise it is expendable or was it Ripley who sees crew is expendable. Oh that’s why Ash raped her. She was in there getting the information. Then she got mad went after Ash, and then he went bonkers. I think. No matter it was covered in the film why they were redirected to LV 426 and that the crew was expendable and ash was to recover the life form. And the company had an idea that Ash could survive better than the human beings, because he was a machine.

They should've made "Alien: Awakening" to finish the prequel trilogy. Prometheus and Covenant were GREAT movies. Screw the ignorant haters. David and the engineers were fantastic concepts.

Prometheus is a terrible movie..... Covenant is a dreadful movie. I like David but everything else around those films are awful. The character decisions are there to solely push the movie along no matter how absurd they are and there are many many absurd character decision in these movies!@@darkseid6898

Exactly.

I was hoping the same thing ,but as always they think they know what we want to see,I certainly won't be going to see it ,id rather wait til comes out,now if they did follow up with David id be the first one at theater

It's an utter shame given the prequels efforts to expand the universe and not just do... more xenomorphs, more everyday space workers and marines.

Well Disney is at least woke, unlike many other companies, their contribution is literally saving this world from ignorance and evil that comes out of it! Whatever they bring in comes from a higher dimension of consciousness which triggers narcissists and psychopaths of this world.

I was fascinated by Prometheus despite the terrible script, but Covenant ruined it for me... just seemed like a generic fanmade movie. I was also unhappy with the idea that David created the aliens in a random cave in five minutes.... seemed silly and lazy. In a way, it was always more scary that the Alien was the product of millions of years of evolution. A great film would have been a middle film with David and Shaw by themselves travelling on a ship. Ironically the story that never made the film would have been infinitely better.... moving away from the alien slasher in space.

The studio gave him too many notes. I believe he even said "you want Aliens? I'll give you f'ing Aliens...!" In disgust... ​@@desoliver9712

@@desoliver9712 The story is easily shifted to, the engineers knew how to create the eggs, and David happened upon the information.

can't be far worse Ridley Scott killed alien Franchise so how bad can it really be with Disney's hands I mean after all alien was Far dead before Disney touched them

@@edgarbattleangel IDK, have you seen what Disney did to Star Wars and Marvel and their own classics? At least when Scott killed Aliens he has some right to, for better or worse, because he's its creator and has an investment in the franchise. Disney could not be farther from the world and lore of Alien.

Disney's Alien will be transgender and black, and only eats people because she's suffered slavery and oppression.

​@Theelitabattleangel how did he kill Alien franchise if Covenant was a great movie? What are you talking about?

He might not have a choice. The sheer magnitude of how much was cut from the script of prometheus implies that some one, or maybe a group of people, sabotaged the film / canceled it. So the ultra-dumbed down version was stitched together and released.

Exactly 🤮

It is what it is 🤷‍♂️ tying that up via a graphic novel, or animated like Marvel’s What If series At this point, is as good as it will get.

Great storyline? To me they were some of the worst of the alien franchise , Prometius was so-so , Covenant was a bad film . And David is worse protagonist than Shaw was , and Shaw was median.

Prometheus - a bunch of scientist idiots doing exploring stuff but the wrong way. Coevenant - a bunch of colonist idiots doing colonization stuff but the wrong way. The story and dialogues are complete flat and stupid. In both movies.

@@DrPet80 so a film about geniuses doing everything right with no drama would be great?

Absolutely. 😢.

He'll yeah

Same

Ditto!

Just make up your own story. Be better than anything hacks at disney can produce.

Same here

I agree. I was reinvested after Prometheus and wanted to learn more about the engineers and their home world. Covenant was a big let down. And now im sure we will never see any more of the lore.

Prometheus and Covenant were both great! just watched them back to back, so idk wth you're talking about. the end of Prometheus introduces a Powerhouse of a xenomorph. was looking forward to the next in that series were there was a possibility of the engineer xenomorph and the "human" xenomorph having an encounter.

I feel you on that sentiment. Although I would remain optimistic in that Ridley Scott has essentially laid the groundwork for any future Alien movies that will delve further into the Prometheus premise. He still seems invested in the franchise overall and it will only be a matter of time before this new director or another ambitious director/writer decides to take on what Scott has laid out for them to expand on. He has such a devoted following of talented writers and directors that I'm sure at some point it will happen. and in the not too distant future.

I just re-watched Prometheus on Netflix. All i have to say 'i love rocks'! That line destroyed the movie!

Prometheus is a BEUTUFL and absolute MESS, with more holes then a block of Swiss cheese. Covenant is Alien copy/paste with a mish-mash of David's BS and full of contradictions and undermines the original two Alien films.

It was story breaking. Really bad. Ridley got obsessed and nobody could tell him to stop.

Why are you happy that the guy that fucked up last movie likes this new one under Disney???

God i wish they had continued the engineer/paradise plotline and having gone full giger designs for their culture. Would have been awesome as Prometheus was the most interesting movie in the alien franchise(just like the first alien was). Instead we get this "young cast" thing from disney that i do not trust.

same... admittedly I started with Prometheus and Covenant, but the story-heavy content is super interesting to me, a bit more than the older films.

@@punec yyeah after what they did to marvel and star wars i dont trust them one bit

They should've made "Alien: Awakening" to finish the prequel trilogy. Prometheus and Covenant were GREAT movies. Screw the ignorant haters. David and the engineers were fantastic concepts.

@@darkseid6898 I agree though I don't like that they killed off shaw in covenant. The whole sub-plot of religeous belief was lost with her death. And besides she was the charactert that was the viewer (sort of). I do still like the movie but I feel it was a sidestep rather than going further with the story. A better step imo would have been for the second moive to focus on shaw and david going to the engineer's homeworld and the the third movie the engineers enacting the destruction of earth the black goo or something like that. Something more interesting. Idk Prometheus was such a fun idea and it's so frustrating that they have abandoned it. It kinda had that The Thing feeling. An underrated masterpiece imo.

He turned them all into gay robots….just like him😂😂😂

If the Prometheus comic wasn't canon, imagine if Weyland Yutani ever found another Engineer world or went back to the LV-223 from Prometheus and found another ship or two... and took it all for research. Imagine what they'd do with a bunch of colonists or prisoners.

@@user-zj3xl4nk1gWhat ?

It's probably better left to the imagination tbh. The arc for the character is completed - he has become God over the trapped colonists and can create. Its a grim ending but it suits the character. I think one of the worst tendencies of recent movies has been to try illuminate minor parts of background, or continue on past a stories natural end. The SW franchise wasn't really improved by the Han Solo origins movie for example. Sometimes its better to start a new story than try drag out an old one.

I'm all about engineers

They should not have killed off Elizabeth so quickly!

Yes and the engineers

​@@robertgirau7339she would have been a great ripley against the engineers

just watch ALien 1 then,

I feel you. I really liked Prometheous. Covenant ....ahh....so so. Covenant kinda went off in a direction I didn't expect. But yes I would like to see David's story wrapped up

well it dose have a baby and xenomorph on that one poster iam thinks it might be somone rased by xenomorphs

That show was great,and like everything we live they cancel it,truly sucks,sad the studio thinks they know what the fans want and they have no clue

That is a great call and would work very well.

No, it’s Disney. They have a multibillion corporate image and money making machine to take care of, and ruining an Alien movie to appeal to 9 year olds and their moms will be perfectly ok for them.

nah

Yeah, the lead character might be one of them strong female types. And they might pander by having a mixed race crew. Oh, and they might force an anti-corporate message on it. I hope they respect the original and don't do anything like that!

​@@troubadour723it's funny how mentally limited you people are and can't appreciate the difference between a good, well written diverse movie and whoke garbage. Grow up

I’d watch that!

Doubt it honestly. Disney has billions. All their movies are losing money. We just have to hope they go bankrupt and sell off all their assets.

Disney: °Put an alien in and make it lame and gay."

Spot on citation 👍😎

Lol

Didn't u think the cast in covenant was a total downgrade? 1 known good actor in the crew and they kill him min 1. Except fassbender but he was in the last movie too so.. And they act like total m0r0ns... a robot that is known to be dangerous.. and they just accept whatever he says.. even when they are warned about mental effects of 10 yr isolation. Why did they not just shoot the fuck out of him when safe and then make their robot access his memory to get the truth. An insane robot is clearly a safety risk. And when the captain didn't shoot him on the spot when he caught him kissing a monster and David was super upset while he cared fuq all about the person the monster had killed. Instead he takes a sight seeing tour... and goes down in a dark smelly cave with 0 backup and just takes David's word for it that "its nothing dangerous.. and even has a grin while saying it.." Such stupidity from a captain of a starship is beyond belief.. a monster with acid for blood.. ok.. I can get behind that.. but this is too much. The crew all acted like they were just thrown into their roles and they had zero research into how persons in such a role would act to make it believable. And Texas putting the ship at risk to get contact.. when they have 6000 ppl onboard... for 10 ppl.. they are 100% expendable if they can't make it up. Since he could take the lander down.. why didn't he just fly that a bit closer to get contact instead of risking the starship.. who knows? And the crew being couples.. would never happen... bcoz of this exact reason. Ppl will risk life of others to save their partner. And then shooting like a liberal that never touched a gun in a room where they store explosives... they give guns to every member but never trained to use them? And then u have her locking her crewmember in with the alien.. bcoz infection risk.. even though she herself is covered in blood and she is freaking out like a teenager... did they do any psych screens on the crew? If u act in total panic in stressful and unexpected situations.. u ain't the person for the job. It's like if an airline pilot gets a dual engine failure and instead of acting they just say it's not happening and goes to the toilet for a cry. It's a sci-fi so u expect science to not be realistic.. but if it's a starship or a battleship, ppl still need professional behavior, know their job and not act like a mental case at first sign of trouble. Covenant could have been good if they had a total different crew, kept Naomi alive on paradise as David's prisoner.. to give dna fir experiments. And bcoz he loves her.. she is a secret until the crew finds her and she tells them the truth of David. Also they should have given 5-10 min screen time to show us paradise ppl lives and their relationship with engineers in ships.. could be explained when they saw ship arrive. The biggest fault of promethous was not explaining ANYTHING about lv233(?), having such a short interaction with the engineer. They could have kept it longer... not having weyland at site when they wake him.. he talks with shaw n David.. he explains what happened here.. why they were going back to earth to destroy it etc etc.. Shaw maybe even convince him that humanity has changed. Then David wakes weyland and he understands that humans are still the same.. cruel, egocentric, etc.. so he decides to continue his mission.. fighting happens to stop him etc etc action etc... something like that. It would explain more.. not leaving ppl wanting for answers. That didn't get answered one bit in cov.

​@@kungfreddie👍

The ship sailed when Alien3 was released without continuing Ripley's, Newt's, and Hick's story as originally envisioned. Then a muddled story comes along with Prometheus that can't continue David & Shaw's story as originally intended, resulting in Covenent. It's like when Disney killed The Star Wars EU - yet is now repurposing parts of SW EU non-canon (i.e. Thrawn) lore to shore up their Disney Wars lineup of failure.

I couldn't agree more, I really wanted a continuation...

Disney is funding it, not making it. It's made by what sounds like a talented independent filmmaker.

​@SewTubular Disney doesn't give money to independent filmmakers. They give money to puppets.
