Poor screen graphics designer Carl Braga...
Previously, before Alien Covenant, he worked on X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009. Nothing until Covenant in 2017...
Probably he won't get a job in the near future - providing that he is a real person.
Was it worth it?
Damn! they are amazing.
Covenant 2 sequel concept art right here! wink wink. We can hope
Very interesting indeed & stunning artwork to say the least! I agree with you these do for more with what I thought we'd have seen with respect to David's "experiments" while on the planet. Again, just my take and what I'd hoped that Covenant could have been.
Instead we were given endless scenes of David and Walter discussing Shelley and Byron as well as a whole segments of flute playing with "I'll do the fingering...." being quite possibly the most ridiculous line uttered in recent years serving only to make an even bigger complete joke out of the direction this series for which (and again I stress these are just my thoughts and nothing more), I simply can no longer bare to follow!
This mishmash of torrid crap Sir Ridley seems determined to take this series. I don't understand. PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT'S GOING ON! I'm missing something, I have to be! The very accomplished and esteemed Mr. Scott created this wonderful mythos - well created on film, to be fair Dan O'Bannon, the original writer and Walter Hill the producer actually wrote and "created" Alien and its subsequent sequels - however, either way I don't understand why he seems to be tearing it all down! Now even saying "...it's not about the 'big chap anymore but about David, and the philosophical implications of creationism...." WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh Ridley! Why oh why! I understand you've just turned 80, I understand you're asking those "big questions" of what comes next, BUT this is Science Fiction not the Life & Times of Whatever Higher Power you align yourself with! Seriously, and I apologize to all of you AND the audience with whom I watched Alien: Covenant with for my uncontrollable laughter and giggling when the fully formed Xenomorph pops out of Orhram's(?spelling sorry!) and does the whole "Christ on the Cross" pose! I'm sorry but even if I hadn't already been laughing about the fact that Orhram had just trusted David after telling him he was "...going to blow a hole in your perfect composer...." yet then sticks his face directly over an opening egg on David's say so 2 minutes later made absolutely no sense whatsoever!! And was quite laughable to myself at least.
I'm starting to really believe the Honest Trailer version of this movie that this was not actually a colony mission but simply a new government program to rid earth of idiots. Harsh words I know but COME ON!!!
Somewhere along the way either I or these movies took a left turn at Albuquerque and I am begging someone to explain to me what I've missed! I truly mean this! In the mean time, for some humor if you'd like to check out the "Honest Trailer" I was referring to, I've included the link below. I adore this board/blog and all of you here! I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments as that was not my intention AT ALL! I have a huge amount of respect for the creators of this forum and everyone involved! You always go above and beyond to show us all sides! Thank you so very much! Lady Anne ^^ö^^

Unsubscribing from Mr. H Reviews. All respect for you has gone.
Great news! Thanks for the share Ati!
Surely they cant go back to the future with Bloomkamps Ripley/Hicks story... and leave an entire story arc unresolved. That would remove any integrity the franchise continuity has left.
First of all, I have hoped for a long time that Tarantino would put his mark on the cci-fi world for the above reasons you have mentioned. Tarantino has a gift of creating intense drama through the use of great dialogue. I thought the Hateful Eight was a good example of this. He also knows how to pick the right actors for the job. I think Christopher Waltz, and Samuel L Jackson must be on his permanent payroll.
Given the prominence of both these actors, along with the many big stars that will work with Tarantino, I think having Tarantino direct an Alien movie would attract a very high calibre cast.
One of the main reasons I like Tarantino’s work is that he can bring things to a crescendo that can be blood filled and still throw in a few unexpected twists and turns. Tarantino is also one who likes to bring what can be minor details into greater focus and put a different slant on them, just like when everyone is arguing over what name colour they are given in Reservoir Dogs, or bringing up what a Big Mac is called in France from Pulp Fiction.
One thing that I think anyone should be mindful of with Tarantino, is not to expect the usual when it comes to following a plot. I would certainly welcome the idea of Tarantino doing an Alien movie, and the only thing I would expect to see would be blood and violence somewhere in the mix, maybe Ninja Xeno’s with Bad Muther Fxxker, acid etched on their heads.
Totally! I think we all can agree that Ridley Scott is a total of baffoon during interviews. I've mentioned this before, Bong-Joon Ho, Director of Okja and Snowpiecer, should direct the next Alien film. I don't want to start another "who should direct the next Alien film" discussion, but after Scott's buffoonery, it's time he steps away from any future Alien projects.
We still do not know how Scott truly handled the Blomkamp Alien 5 pitch with FOX, but I'm guessing Scott was a total jerk about it and 20th FOX being too stupid to know otherwise.
BigDave - 'Which is WHY Blomkamp has released more about his Alien 5, because he knows if he can gain some interest and create some Hype, then it could indeed lead Disney to consider actually pursuing Blomkamps idea instead.'
Totally true. So obvious!
BigDave - 'You have to agree with the Video...'
Your words are gold. Undeniably, it is very difficult to disagree with the video.
Why would Scott speak about his plans regarding the Covenant sequel in October and December if the whole project had been cancelled in September? Nonsense! At least for me...
Is our Alien Universe Snowden Carl Braga?
Alien: Covenant (screen graphics designer)
BigDave - In other words, the rumour or the fake rumour in question does not mean anything.
It was more of a joke about Scott's use of foul language. It doesn't really connect to his directing abilities. Although I do think if someone ALWAYS uses it during the course of a normal conversation, their vocabulary or imagination may be fairly thin, so... maybe there is some connection to his lack of making sense and spewing things left and right about upcoming films and where the story is going (diarrhea of the mouth?) and his directing abilities as of late (thank goodness Denis Villenueve directed 'Blade Runner 2049' and not Scott!).
Anyway, I think BigDave and I are agreeing... Disney may not be the "saving grace" for the 'Alien' franchise. They may take it and make money with it, but will they make it a good franchise from here on out? If Marvel and Star Wars are any indication, I'm not so sure. Time will tell.
@Membrane
Foul language is nothing to gripe about, what's the most frustrating thing about Ridley is that he makes no sense with his false claims about upcoming Alien films and where the story is going.
Disney now needs to save Alien from Scott's massive mess.
I hope studio people lurk on this thread, maybe even some Disney peeps.
And this comment by Ridley Scott made me laugh because I feel like there is more that I should add to it (my addition in italics and I had to add the cursing as Ridley seems so fond of using foul language for no absolutely reason)...
"I would like to; they’re crazy if they don’t. David is a fantastic villain. I love what Michael Fassbender did in Covenant. But it’s f***ing hard, dude. We lifted Alien out of a ditch and made Prometheus... and subsequently sent it back into a deeper ditch with the s**tstorm that is 'Alien: Covenant'. Oh yes, we did, and you're f***ing welcome!"
Well, Ridley, you lifted it out of a ditch and made Prometheus and subsequently sent it careening back into a deeper ditch with 'A:C'.
BigDave, you're right.
'Blade Runner 2049'... great film... not enough fanbase or regular movie goers interested to generate a big enough return.
'Alien' franchise has suffered due to the last 3 installments (although I personally liked 'Prometheus'; biggest grumblings are adding in some cut scenes to justify/explain character actions). Now, what does Disney do with it? They are all about the money. Granted, all studios are, Disney just seems to make good monetary decisions, not necessarily good artistic or story/movie decisions, ie, Marvel movies and the 'The Force Awakens' (only "good" due to nostalgia) and 'The Last Jedi' (terrible). Goodness knows what will become of the 'Alien' franchise now, but who knows, they may pleasantly surprise.
Ridley Scott need to finish the storyline of the prequel films first. After that Disney can make new Alien films and put it into another direction like they do with Star Wars. Keep the original franchise as canon, but the future films must have a completely new storyline with new ideas, but that is still connected with the original franchise, but never going back to the planets from all the previous films or mention those events.
With this Disney can make a whole fresh new start with Alien and leave the original franchise behind, but still connected to it.
I'm convinced that the concept artists for Covenant could have undoubtedly written and directed the movie, and it would have been a masterpiece.
Among all of the discourse about the Alien franchise between this site, AVPGalaxy, Mr. H, and Hybrid Network, the Alien public relations team needs to do some serious damage control before the franchise is dead in the foreseeable future. Disney owns it now; they need to step up to the plate and control this mess, and they need to tell Ridley Scott to STFU.
I think this concept art could very likey be used in a film that takes place inbetween prometheous and covenant. there is a whole planet and only having that one small city on an entire planet is ridiculus. over the couse of 10 years I am sure that david would travel to other places on the planet. alos if the engineers in covenant are indead a different spiecies or race like many of us have thorised, then they would have different reactions to the black go as the real engineers witch are most likely somewere else on this planet. these engineers could be the ones in the concept art shown. this would also add some runtime to a script idea to short to make a movie out of. david going to the planet killng engineers and killing shaw.
Nelostic also, how exactly do the predators fit into this?
Nelostic would this be retconing alien covenant or would it be inbetween promethous and covenant? I may sign but I nead a bit more informaton.
Landscape art is amazing. It could have added to the movie but what we got was very minimal. Too bad.
Can't argue with how good Covenant turned out however these concepts are very interesting and wonderful! I'm not a fan of the Engineer monsters but everything else especially with David looks spot on. Perhaps this could be used in the next movie.
A lot of this artwork seems to coincide with what many fans (myself included) thought Covenant and its monsters might have looked like
Sums it right up!!
From Prometheus the complete fire and stone, a page about Galgo and the engineer weapon.
Read the Alien: Engineers draft by Spaihts recently for the 100th time, just noticed that the last engineer equipped himself with the bulletproof bio suit and killed the remaining xenos and humans with some kind of a weapon that fires invisible missiles.
I wonder if that inspired the engineer weapons in the fire and stone series (especially the scene with the large pink rifle in Prometheus fire and stone).
Originally the engineer weapon Galgo held was supposed to shoot black goo but they changed it to Fox's demands.
As for their ships, their ships are indestructible. The juggernaut remained mostly intact when USCSS Prometheus crashed into it at the speed of a bullet.
I think they match up very closely to what you shared with us back then Dave. Seems like this might have been the artwork your source was telling us about. Almost 4 years later, we finally get to see it!
Is it "Mr. H Reviews" or "Alien TMZ"?
Seriously though this guy has major insecurities if us disagreeing with him on our own platform (not even on his videos or other social pages) sends him into a fit, creating live streams and whatnot about the ordeal. A live stream to complain you were called out on a forum? Is he new to the internet? Lmao
Obviously we can not confirm the claims of him threatening to "kick our asses" (which in itself is beyond hysterical) because like his previous comments on our own forum, he has removed his video so no one can validate his claims. But I trust, given his outbursts on here alone, that he more than likely did throw some imaginary weight around.
My recommendation to our fans - please do not spam or attack Mr. H on here or on his YouTube, as the guy clearly has a superiority complex and a rather fragile ego. The loudest guy in the room is always the weakest, so best to let him rant and rave on his own platforms and let the fans decide what to think of him. Eventually / hopefully he will grow up.
Thanks for the early morning laugh though BLADERUNNER_1982, I did get quite a kick out of this haha
Sue me? Hahahahahaha go ahead clown. I know your so thin skinned Mr H this post is just killing you. So go and get a legal team together... Right after you post the Livestream lol.
U are a funny guy Mr H. U are so full of yourself. U attacked a group Alien fans. Then get butt hurt when someone defends them. U are a coward and a punk... Please put that in the lawsuit.. LMAO
@ Graphic Guy
"These unmonitored posts about threatening people are untrue. Bladerunner 1982 has even back tracked from his initial statement saying it sounded threatening rather than being a threat. I don’t ask for any disagreeing to be retracted about the topic at hand, just the irresponsible and unjustified claim of Mr H threatening people."
Each member of our forums is responsible for the content they post, and the claim in question was made by Bladerunner_1982.
That said, In Mr. H's Q&A live stream #57 he again mentions this drama, stating that he intends to inquire what legal options he may have toward Bladerunner_1982's statement, who posted this thread to bring to our communities attention Mr. H's continued abuse towards us. Yet without a recording of the live stream in question nothing can be proved or disproved.
So, in summary, Mr. H slandered this site repeatedly, once on YouTube, then here, to which we rightfully defended. He then continued his abuse on Twitter, and then again on YouTube, to which we have responded here and here only. Mr. H has deleted his comments here, on twitter and his initial live stream, yet we have deleted nothing.
The sadness is that at the end of all this instead of admitting his error in his slander, which still stands both here and on Mr. H's YouTube channel, Mr. H intends to sue Bladerunner_1982 regards comments Mr. H may or may not have made on a live stream he has reportedly deleted.
Or as red0guy eloquently put "This he said she said stuff leads nowhere."
Thread closed
please close this thread already. This he said she said stuff leads nowhere.
He said he heard the live stream. If he did he knows exactly what mrH said. So go away flunkie
Gavin- I understand there is a disagreement happening between your two platforms and have read the article. I am not here to debate that as it’s between your two parties. I am here purely to raise a red flag about the false claim that anyone was threatened. I am a huge believer in having heated debates/venting/disagreeing etc. as long as it remains respectable and honest.
These unmonitored posts about threatening people are untrue. Bladerunner 1982 has even back tracked from his initial statement saying it sounded threatening rather than being a threat. I don’t ask for any disagreeing to be retracted about the topic at hand, just the irresponsible and unjustified claim of Mr H threatening people.
@gavin. I totally get it. I will leave it alone now that I know you seen it
@ Graphic Guy,
So Mr. H and his followers can vent on here, Twitter and YouTube about our response to his two attacks, but we here at Alien-Covenant.com and our members cannot on our own platform that we have custom created.
As I have repeatedly repeated this all came about because of Mr. H's false claims in his initial video that we were perpetuating the rumor, when we did just as he did in his video; identify the rumor and urge caution in our readers. Mr. H also claimed we did not cite the source of this rumor, we did, it was Blu-Ray.com user HumanMedia, not AvPGalaxy as he claims. In THIS VIDEO John Campea formally of Collider also sourced Blu-Ray.com directly and echoed ours and Mr. H's sentiment of taking this rumor with a huge dosage of salt, yet is Mr. H attacking Campea, no he is not.
And on a side note, I watched Mr. H's live stream and was saddened and disgusted by his continued abuse towards us, but refused to be sucked into this parade. Watch his original video and read our article covering the rumor, and you will see the fault is clearly his.
Useless like how mrH did a whole Livestream talking about how no one who wore the article would dare say anything to his face? About how they would have to see him one day about it? Pointless like that? Seems like your boy mrH is a thin skinned coward who back tracked on his statements.
Mr H hasn’t posted many livestreams. If you subscribed to Mr H for any length of time, that would be apparent.
You’re feeling insulted?! Imagine what those +60 people think of this ridiculous post you started?
Anyway, enough of this. I and many more are flat out disagreeing with what you heard and it’s silly you find it worth your time to post useless/false material.
The only cowardly act was Mr H doing all that tuff talk and slandering this site and not having the BALLZ to post the stream UNEDITED! like I said I stand by what I heard. I am an adult. So please do not insult my intelligence by telling me what I did and did not hear. I wish I would've screenshot all the profanity and mean things being said in the comments section based on what Mr H was saying.
And like I said. It's very simple. Post the Livestream up on YT unedited.
Bladerunner_1982 I’ve come on this site to see for myself the false statements you have personally made regarding a livestream I and +60 other people attended. What you imply happened is a lie, true and simple. If you and Gavin disagree with Mr H, fine. But don’t go throwing around irresponsible/false claims.
I am not here to fight the fact you disagree with Mr H, but if you have to run off to another site to blast another person instead of talking to that person respectively and directly, shows real cowardly colours
