Based on how Ridley actually wanted his original alien movie to end I am not sure if he can pull of this sequel
Who would of thought fox would actually be the saviours

I thought that the alien should come in, and Ripley harpoons it and it makes no difference, so it slams through her mask and rips her head off, he says. He goes on to say the Xenomorph would mimic the voice of Tom Skerritts Captain Dallas saying, Im signing off.

Same here.
That whole thing is getting into a really weird and uninteresting direction right now.

Kinda chuckling at "This film has not been rated yet."
I read that Ridley went back to anamorphic lenses for this. Seeing how there hasn't been much discussion about 3d I wonder if it'll be 2d only.
Also, news on the second Alien Day.
I'm in for seeing Alien on the big screen. Haven't seen it before that way.

The "Hide" spot shows a tiny bit of the neomorph: https://youtu.be/T1DHO_PeEyQ?t=11
It's nice to see them embrace how goofy and non-threatening the franchise has become. Kudos for owning that shit, Sir Ridley

Gonna keep trying this Alien Day thing, huh.
They really think Alien is still a thing

Maybe this time they'll remember to sell Ripley's shoes in women's sizes.

Last alien day, I picked up a few sweet alien toys for half off. I mean, if they're gonna pretend like other people want these things, I'm gonna buy at least one Ripley figure.

Ha! I'm originally from West Virginia, so I love the spot.
They didn't even remember to sell those shoes to to the general public. I think asking them to sell stuff specifically for women would be above their competency level.

That's kind of astounding lmao.

That Shaw teaser is what I needed.
Besides the ridiculous situation with the Ripley shoes, I can't hate on Alien Day. My SO won me some swag during it last year! I'm not really a merch guy, but I'll take whatever odd Prometheus thing that's put out. And of course I look forward to all the Covenant teasing on this upcoming 4/26. But, yeah, it's definitely a silly, manufactured day considering how small, split and generally dissatisfied its fandom seemingly is currently (and will likely continue to be). I might identify strongly with the Scott films, but I have little interest in the larger "Alien Universe" and celebrating it with other fans. So its worth to me is in how much Scottverse it can serve... me.
The Alien Facebook page didn't push these images as a public post today (yet?), but seemed to accidentally have them accessible with a little digging. They've since been taken down. It's a disturbing piece of marketing. I don't interpret the pics as being literal, but fair warning of possible spoilers.

So there's some photographic evidence in there that he's going straight back to the first ideas he had in 1979 and bringing those to life as literally as possible.

I saw this earlier. It's too much.
I need an accessible advance screening to minimize stumbling upon full movie spoilers next month.

Holy SHIT I should not have watched
What did he mean by this?
Member
Wow none of this was in the generic-ass marketing so far. So they market it as a creature feature for the casuals, but then as some deep thematic piece for film connoisseurs?
Daring strategy. It wont work

I beg to differ. I have a feeling this is gonna be the best Alien film since 1986, both critically and financially.

This legendary franchise will have the same fate as Terminator right? And I liked Prometheus, dunno why so many don't but I liked Salvation too so maybe it's just me
No fate but what we make.

I hope they do the same tricks with the low frequencies they did when I saw it during the '03 Directors Cut release, if folk haven't seen it on the big screen yet then they should do so now, it's a fantastic experience.
Although it would be "funny" if the cut some gore and language and got a PG13 despite scenes of
David committing genocide.

I had no idea
Guy Pearce was in this, hopefully more substantial than his terrible role in Prometheus. Pretty sure hes not an old man in this one. I'm not sure how though.
Prometheus was rated R and it did well enough to "revive" the franchise. I wouldn't worry about Covenant. This is also the same studio that released Deadpool and Logan with R-ratings, so they're probably not going to do anything like that.
That could change as it gets closer to the 26th. Last year, more showings got added later on. One showing even got added that was slightly closer to me (3 hour drive instead of 5). Sadly, I didn't find out till it was too late. To make matters worse, I heard last years screenings were in 35mm at some locations. It's a dream of mine to see the theatrical cuts of the first two movies on film. Missing that was painful. Since it's through Regal this year, it'll likely just be a DCP. On the up side, at least I'm only an hour drive away from the closet showing now.

They're only up for certain theaters at the moment. I've been refreshing the Knoxville theater's fandango for the past hour but no luck.
You can go ahead and buy a Covenant ticket though.
