Are you talking about expanded universe stuff? I only remember one Queen from the main series.

I would love it if Scott conveniently continued to keep his mythology compartmentalized away from Cameron and the others. I would assume people who have a strong aversion to modern Scott/Prometheus would want the same.

Resurrection had a Queen ;)

A cloned Queen, yeah. Does that count? Maybe I misunderstood your wording.

GAMEPROFF said:
Also, the Queens always looked similar when spawned by a human.
Look at the horns that we can see on this one, way to big differences for another human spawned Queen.

I thought you were talking about Queens coming from nonhumans in the main series, and I was confused by that. I thought maybe you were referring to expanded universe stuff.

Now I understand what you mean ;) I just assume, that like Xenomorphs, Queens are different depending on the host.
 
Scott teases Alien:Covenant prologue that sheds new light on David and Prometheus: http://www.alien-covenant.com/news/...-covenant-prologue-footage-with-david-weyland

Wow, be careful as its pretty spoilery but this is the stuff I'm really interested about and am glad Scott is still answering some lingering questions that Prometheus left us hanging with. Every time I think I can't get any more pumped for this movie, well...I do!
May 9th can't get here soon enough.
 
Garcia el Gringo said:
I've completely missed this! Do you have a source on Scott's words and the art (if that's public)?



In the scenario you bring up, while being conflicted about it being Shaw, I might be fine with that. That's a very loose definition of a "Queen" being in a Scott film, so it circumvents my hangups.

Sorry I don't feel like searching for it but Scott said it in a recent interview. I get all my Alien:Covenant news on the AlienCovenant website. Its a fan site but it's really good and has all the info you could want for this movie in one spot.

Higher-res for those curious.

Huh, wonder if that means Prometheus David
is the original David that Weyland created, not just the latest series or model released before Prometheus begins. That would make him between 60-80 years old when the movies take place.

Someone also mentioned that in the Covenant Walter commercial he says "We are Walter" and in the Prometheus one he says "I am David."

Hmm looks like the whole population of Engineers are wiped out if the posters are hinting that kind of massacre
 
Shouldn't an Engineer be physically able to prevent a facehugger from latching onto it? I mean one that had been hibernation for millennia, put up a struggle against the big ass trilobite. In the comics, which probably aren't considered cannon, the Engineers are powerful enough to physically restrain Yautja and Xenomorph FLEE from them! I don't see their society being wiped out by Xenomorph, especially with the Engineers level of technology, unless they were all impregnated during sleep.

Well, they never meet Facehugger before, so most likely they were taken by surprise

Unless the spores or some other proto bio weapon wipes them out.

Ahhhh fair point. Maybe David did some carpet bombing,resulting in the Prometheus being shot down but that didn't do anything to stop the contagion. Still, I was addressing the poster that features facehuggers latched onto Engineer faces. Valid point though.

Scott promises this sequence will “really get people going because it’s fucking smart for a change.”

Guess that was an extremely limited offer, then!
I mean, that ad was idiotic, but not that idiotic, surely.

I hope it's not that
David has the consciousness or Peter Weyland or something like that
.
 
I've only seen the main series, but I feel like I'm missing something. Do we know where the Aliens come from? I guess I mean their true "origins". Is it the goo? Were they created by the engineers? Was it explained and I just can't remember? Should I care?

That's what these new movies are all about. Get on the train and watch Prometheus.
 
OK maybe I'm reaching but what if Fassbender is being literal in his following quote from a just released interview:

How has David’s relationship with Shaw changed over ten years?

FASSBENDER: Like any good marriage. [Laughs.] There’s a real affection there between the two of them. I think they get on each other’s nerves. Well, he gets on her nerves rather. But I suppose they went through quite a lot together in Prometheus. So there is a bond there, for sure.

My thoery: what if David uses the black goo to meld his head with Shaw's body? The way he says "he gets on her nerves" and that they have a "bond." I could be totally reaching but if it turns out to be true than you'll know how sneaky Fassbender was being here.
 
Also David directly handled the goo in Prometheus. It was inert on him. Not that Ridley isn't above the retcon, but it seems unlikely it should do anything to him since he is inorganic.

You think David is going to have breasts, is what you're saying?
 
An advanced space faring civilisation that allows a random ship to just creepy crawl into their capital system, and biological warfare their home planet. Sure thing Ridley, sure thing.
 
Playyy me that mountain music, like grandma and grampa used to play

Edit:
That's a better spot below than the one above. Both are still awful. Dog tags
are Shaw's confirmed

Edit 2: also is that
Shaw in the hologram? Being used as a bio bomb on the engineers?

That was...an odd choice of song. I thought it was sound coming from another tab for a second.

Looks to be the case.

What's with the #emohemekat at the end, why backwards?
Click to expand...
It's their attempt at viral marketing. The backwards name is also the name of an Instagram account with an expanded trailer.

I'm starting to wonder if Sony has taken over the marketing for this movie.
