I remember watching this when my grandfather rented it and thought it was shit but never remember it being this dark. Thinking about grabbing Predator 2 and the AVP set and having a marathon.

By dark, strafer meant you can't see shit dark. It was the reason why I stopped watching after 15 minutes.

Oh. Well that I remember lol couldn't watch that movie with any lights on in the room and even then you could barely make out anything that happened.

Never mind marathon canceled I'm good.
 
You pretty much can't watch AVP2 at daytime unless you're in a basement or 100% sealed room. Even a tiny amount of glare makes it impossible.
 
Straight the point.

I wonder how they are going to make the aliens scary again. Partly due to familiarity and over exposure, they haven't been actually frightening in any film post-Aliens.

I'd like to think they're go the restraint route, but the combination of Prometheus and that poster makes me think, nope.

Less is more should be the approach. The fear of them, and the feeling of them being near you at any point if they're not, is what makes theme truly scary IMO.
 
Fox had their 2017 showcase event again in London, L.A and Paris this week. Apparently everyone in attendance is under embargo until the 26th which is why there are no articles about what the press saw however reactions on Twitter show that the trailer was shown, cut to a slower version of Bowie's "Nature Boy", as well as 10 minutes of R rated footage.

No specific details other than a lot of comparisons to the first two films: feels like the claustrophobic and suspense of Alien with the action and body count of Aliens. One person on Twitter alluded to seeing someone in the footage getting split apart by...something. If the embargo ends on the 26th then the trailer should be online next week.
 
Damn at those crushed blacks and shit.

What did they do a screengrab from the youtube encoded trailer?

But yeah the framing of it seems cool.

It's a backlit shot, not sure how much detail you'd expect to see in any of the figures.

As for the numbers, probably just time and date. 10:05PM, 12/5/2104
 
Not feeling this teaser pic. Hopefully that's some peripheral security to the main cast that'll be promptly body horrored. Save the militaristic/USCM stuff for Blomkamp. I'm eager for the trailer to see if I need to temper my expectations due to tone.

This pic (even as insignificant its elements might end up being) has me longing for Paradise in a way I haven't in a while. What I'd give for the focus to be on Shaw's expedition. Hopefully Covenant does something to entertain me and the dozens of other people who care about that.
 
FWIW, someone I follow on twitter was able to see 25 minutes of Planet of the Apes, Logan and Alien: Covenant.

I think he has an embargo on those though, no impressions.
 


Yes epic scene and epic music by John Williams.
entitled as "The Long Grass 2:28"

so trailer this week?

I made a prediction that the trailer should appear before this year is out (since filming wrapped in July 2016). However with the latest updates at hand, that is -> additional shooting was decided, James Franco was cast and the release date was brought forward for May 2017, all those befuddled me.
I still believe that a teaser trailer may appear before this year is out, though
 
It doesn't look like the trailer will be in theaters this year. That's a list of current and new trailers from Deluxe, which is (I think) one of the major digital film distributors.

That doesn't mean that it won't be online before that, though.

Someone in Jamaica off handed mentioned on Twitter that the trailer played before their Rogue One screening over the weekend, which surprised them given its not online yet.

Embargo according to French press and other journos for what they saw at this Fox showcases ends on December 26th. So I'm theory we should see it from now until then...?
 
I thought this was about the lady and the head of fassbender going to a different planet.

So some marines are gonna catch up and wake her from cyro sleep? Trying to figure out how they get around the time debt.
 
I know i'm late, but outside AVP2 being dark, the camera also shakes something fierce.
So hard to appreciate the times where the action is good when it's all over the place.

Why we never got a space marine AVP is beyond me.

Official synopsis:
Headed toward a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew members of the colony ship Covenant discover what they believe to be an uncharted paradise, but it is actually a dark, menacing world in which the only inhabitant is the synthetic David (Michael Fassbender), a survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
