RS will be involved in Guzzi and Last Duel proyect next year, he only appears as a producer, we will have to be alert, I just want to see Guy Pearce in the cast again, this would be a return in good line, I do not want a second Colonial Marines fighting with bugs as Alien Isolation style.

"How can the derelict look ancient and the Space Jockey look fossilized?"

 

We know very little about the pathogen. We've seen how the Engineers on Planet 4 were turned into fossils after just 10 years! Who knows what would of happened if the Nostromo didn't go boom....Might still be floating filled with the fossilized remains of the crew!

 

Captain of the explorer Rampage ( salvaging the remains of the Nostromo ) "What the hell happened to them!? Looks like they've been dead for millions of years!"

 

Fun fact: MUTHER jettisoned the core before the Nostromo exploded....What Ripley witnessed was the cores destruction. MUTHER wanted her specimen intact.

What I'm interested in is the casting! Should give us a clue for the shows direction. Unknown cast or maybe some semi-star actors? Doubt they'll get a-list actor...but maybe some guest appearances.

@BIGDAVE Glad to see you again :) The announcement speaks clearly and precisely from Disney is nothing subliminal, "ALIEN on Earth", then we already discarded a very important key factor that part of us was expecting, Peter Weyland and how this story started. I just pray they don't bring us another Starship Troopers and Space Marines.

Great news! ALIEN's timeline is something gruesome, along ALIEN's timeline you cannot develop XENOs before Nostromo mission is launched, only from ALIENS (movie forwards). I would have loved to see Peter Weyland on the project could have been amazing, but if we stick to the Disney ad Then according ALIEN's timeline we are between 2179 to 2379 according to the statistics. This would lead us to see another Starship Troopers, and space marines fighting against Aliens through the streets of NY or LA on Earth. :)

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumThe Space Jockey

"How can the derelict look ancient and the Space Jockey look fossilized?"

Certainly... regardless if we have a Fossil or a Space Suit, we have to look at AC and the Set Up and Assume that the Derelict Event would NOT come into Play until we have David go to Origae-6 which leaves us like 10 Years or Less for the Derelict to be on LV-426 unless they use TIME-TRAVEL or something.

" the rib cage does look like bones and not a suit. However, a trunk does not have any bones so if time has gone by"

You raise a Great Point, if we assume the Space Jockey is the Skeletal Remains of a Organism, then the TRUNK should NOT be there unless its some kind of Bone rather than Sinew, Gristle.  If we look at the Skeletons of Long Snouted, Trunked Animals on Earth they have NO Snouts of Trunks!

The Ribcage does look Skeletal to a Degree, Certainly most of it, likewise the Face (Snorkle/Trunk aside), however to me those Ribs are more Exoskeletal like the Xenormorphs ;)

We do have Dallas say it looks Fossilized and Bones bent Outwards which leads us to think we are seeing a SKELETON and indeed this was the Original Idea.. but the Skeletal remains were a ALIEN Creature that has NO real Resemblance to a Bi-Pedal Humanoid.

When i think ALIEN and what MADE it so Great and Unique then it was HR Giger, the Xenomorph (all of its Life Cycle) the Derelict, the Cargo Hold, the Pilot Room and Chair.....  they are all Designed by HR Giger.

He gave us Bio-Mechanical and to me to have the Space Jockey as a SKELETON of some ALIEN RACE would NOT be something that is HR Giger not if its all Flesh/Blood.

I have the Impression we either have a Bio-Mechanical Suit thats Connected to the Chair... or we have a Bio-Mechanical Being that Interfaces with the Chair.

Due to Scale and Aesthetic Differences, and NO Conclusion then YES they could explore the Space Jockey as either another being in a Slightly Different Space Suit and maybe the Occupant is NOT so Human looking... or we have a Bio-Mechanical Being like the Xenomorph is.

"bio-mechanical"

I think we should be looking at the HR Giger Aesthetic ;)

"If the Derelict is grown"

HR Giger Suggested this... but we CANT really Fathom to HOW ALIEN such a Species and their Ships are... so YES we are likely dealing with something ORGANIC that just has some Not So Organic Parts or as far as does-not look Traditionally Organic.

I had mentioned a Few Times maybe in Part we could be looking at something like a Plant.

His Concepts and Mural where Interesting.... he indeed seemed to feel the Derelict is Grown and the Cargo Hold would Actually Produce the Eggs, so the Derelict is kind of a Living Bio-Mechanical Organism that is MOTHER to the Eggs.  And so the Xenomorph and Derelict are implied to be Connected Genetically if you would.

Maybe they should have looked more into his Ideas and Aesthetic, and gave us something HR Giger meets Lovecraft.

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumALIEN: ANAKAINOSIS

"We have the problem of what might please a majority (economically satisfying) and what would please (some) fans (even avid fans have different opinions about the franchise)"

Certainly i think a Movie hits a Problem if your BANKING on the Avid Fanbase, so every Fan who sees at least 2-5 Alien Movies a Year, has the DVD Box Sets, Merch, Toys and Comics etc..  watches the Extras and Commentary etc

If we look at the Box Office of a $100M Alien Movie then even if EVERY such Avid Fan went Twice i doubt your going to make a Profit ;)   So YES it the more Casual Fan and General Public that you have to PULL in to make the Success of a Movie. (Financially)

These People would NOT really know WHAT the Space Jockey was, or other things....    what they would Recognize the most is RIPLEY (well Miss Weaver playing her) and the Xenomorph in Particular the ALIENS one as it had more and the Queen!

So when your going to do something NEW and DIFFERENT then for the General Public you maybe NEED something that they can Connect with what they think about when you say ALIEN Franchise.

"So, do we want more episodic films without continuation of the story but only connection to the “Alien Universe” or do we want to see what happens to the main characters: David, Daniels, Tennessee, Ripley, Hicks, Newt?"

This is a GOOD POINT... what made ALIEN Franchise so relatable was the Continuation of Characters... well RIPLEY as she was the Survivor until ALIEN 3 but she kind of Lives on in Alien R and you had Call as a Interesting Character but we had NO Continuation.

With Prometheus then you would have Expected a Sequel to Continue with the Protagonist Dr Shaw... but it NEVER...

We had Daniels who is a Character  that seemed to just NOT really Connect with Most of us, and well the Revelation she knows who DAVID is... really Paints the Sequel in a Corner.... her knowing is a THORN to Davids Plans... he would be best to just KILL or Experiment on her so she dont Survive.. well as a Human.. but maybe he KEEPS her Alive and Hidden and this is his Hubris...

But its UNLIKELY we get a Continuation... and so YES if we have  NEW MOVIE, then we have to introduce New Characters and maybe Fans just WONT go and Invest in those Characters if they THINK its Unlikely they would appear in a Sequel!

So you can see WHY some Fans and indeed seems Blomkamp, Hill and Giler had believed your BEST to go back to whats Relatable and Familar and to Bring Back our Ripley and maybe the Xenomorph from ALIEN/ALIENS.

“Anakainosis” roughly means “to think in a new way”

Certainly when i do Titles to Topics there is more to the Name than just something Different.  So indeed the Choice of Anakainosis is to look at HOW we could Revisit the Franchise and how can we RENEW and RENOVATE the Franchise.

And so i was thinking HOW can you go and Introduce us to a Relatble Threat but Change it a BIT but also to leave some Connection/Clues to the Franchise/Prequels to UPLIFT them.

Its NOT a Easy Task... as Ridley Scott found out with the Prequels and so maybe those in Charge would rather just go back to BASICS (Play it SAFE)  and to just Resurrect Ripley again.....

"The interesting thing with this story is that they turn the beacon off which gives an explanation as to why W-Y hasn’t found the Derelict"

Certainly.... i have NOT gone and Read the Novel and NEVER got FAR in the Game (Played it Once) but its a Good Idea/Plot.

Was THIS the LAST time that anyone went to the Derelict prior to the Jordans?  Thats something to Consider ;)

"Right now the Alien universe seems really tiny!"

Agree and i think that RS with the  Prequels and Engineers Plot really OPENED UP the Franchise to Many Worlds, Races and Horrors oh and Conflicts ;)

I gave a more in depth reply in the Forum Topic.

I think its Good News that Disney will allow FX to go and Explore something in the ALIEN Franchise..  Hopefully it will be a Success.

"If it is something like the book Alien: Covenant - Origins, I'll say - cool!"

Potentially then yes, within the Franchise in the Background there was more than just Eggs, Queens and Ripley and WHO was the Space Jockey/Origins Story.

Those are ALL very Important for sure...

But there is History prior to ALIEN, and Prometheus that could be Explored..  a LOT depends on HOW NEAR in the Future we are talking and that it WONT go and Contradict or Conflict the Franchise which may mean No Xenomorphs.

I think if they do something to cover the Agenda behind such Companies and what they Create, and any Hubris/Horror in doing so then it could UPLIFT the Reason the Company are so Interesting in the Xenomorph in the FUTURE ;)

If its about Robots, Synthetics, Replicants (or similar) then i think that maybe it wont appeal to some... i think you have to GIVE something Horrific.... 

Are the Engineers and David the ONLY ones to Play say Dr Moreau and Genetically Engineer a Horror Show?

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumUSCSS: PATNA

Regarding the DNA PLOT... its Flawed for sure.

At some-point someone does Discovery that the DNA of Ripley contains Foreign/Alien DNA and so then YES they would TRY and Extract the ALIEN DNA... they would NOT really NEED or TRY to get Ripleys!

You could expect they had some Failure and Mutations with Mix of Xenomorph and Human DNA (we see that with the Failed Clones) you would ASSUME that with Further Experiments they would try and gain a HIGHER % of Xenomorph DNA!

It HOWEVER is completely IMPLAUSIBLE that they would Create a Almost Perfect Clone of Ripley that is Gestating a Queen!

If you CLONED a Sheep that was Pregnant, then would this Clone be Carrying any Embryos/Lambs?  

However we have to REMEMBER they wanted another ALIEN Movie and they wanted NOT only the Xenomorph back but to have Miss Weaver Cast... but RIPLEY is DEAD!

And so the Flawed Clone Plot is PURELY something we Overlook its Flaw, because this is just a PLOT CONVENIENT to allow for Miss Weaver to play a Ripley of Sorts and to also give us a Xenomorph of Sorts too.

If the more Plausible Route was taken that they managed to Extract a Pure Xenomorph DNA and Recreate the Beast... there would be NO REASON i Guess to Clone Ripley!

Which means no MISS WEAVER!

And so the Cloned Ripley 8 and her Removed Queen are Necessary for the PLOT to introduce us to Resurrecting our Ripley and Xenomorph.

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumUSCSS: PATNA

I had been given the USCSS Patna and Alien 3 some thought, and YES we are aware that the USCSS Patna had NOT been Deployed in Response to the Message from Fury 161 but was already on Route to the Sulaco when they Discover from the Message that Fury 161 has a Queen Specimen.

This became a BUST the Xenomorph and Ripley/Queen became TOAST..... i would assume that anything on the Sulaco had also MET a Fiery End!

I would assume that if RIPLEY was aware of any Face Huggers then she would Demand/Persuade those in Charge on Fury 161 to DESTROY them and so they LIKELY had a Fiery End too.

Regarding what the USCSS Patna would do NEXT...  i think they either had enough Information from the Sulaco to determine that LV-426 is BUST, or they sent a Probe and Determined their was NOTHING to gain.. Either because its Totally Destroyed... but also the Radioactive Fall Out!

However.... i suspect 10, 25, 50 or 100 Years latter maybe someone would CHECK out LV-426... (This seemed to be the Blomkamp Alien V Plot from what i assume was the Derelict).... but even if someone goes to Investigate LV-426 in Future post 2180... that does-not mean they can OBTAIN a anything from there!

Hey , with all  this crap going on the world , This is the best news in a while 

Reply
BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumAlien Series for Hulu is official

Another thing to Consider...

While its GREAT NEWS that Disney are willing to allow FX to Explore the Alien Franchise, a BIG thing is the FALL OUT from Alien covenant.... IF we get a TV Show thats VERY much ALIEN/ALIENS with Xenomorphs that are THROWN IN after say 1/3rd of Season 1... if this does-not WORK OUT... then it could mean LESS LIKELY that Disney would do a Movie!

Have they got a Movie in the Works? or was what RS had indicated before is just a TV Series?

Anyway so what i am trying to say is HOW MUCH of a Budget is going to be Given?  Because this has a Effect on WHAT you can SHOW as FAR as the Special Effects and SETS and getting some known Cast in.

Disneys Success with The Mandalorian came at about $100M for 8 Episodes, with a $10-12M Budget per Episode then a ALIEN TV Show could give us Somewhat Epic Battles and SETS and Effects and Xenomorphs!

Where as Raised by Wolves had a Much Lower Budget!

IF the Show will have a LOWER Budget of say $5M per Show then having it SET on Earth would SAVE on Money for Effects, having it set say 20-50 Years from NOW would mean LESS of the Space Explorations and Ships which SAVES on Effects and SETS.

Not having something too like the Xenomorphs could SAVE on the Budget...

Within the ALIEN Universe and Connected to Earth then a LOT has gone on that leads to Yutani and Weyland and maybe other Companies who are in Competition.  Could some of these had Conducted Experiments to CREATE something that Many Years latter with the Discovery of the Derelict they Discover another Engineered Bio-Weapon that Surpasses Everything that some Companies had Attempted to Engineer on Earth.

Hense GREAT INTEREST in ALIEN...

When you look at the Future on Earth, and THROW OUT the Moral Compass and you ADD to it Greed, than to WHAT kind of Extent could Mankind go and Create something be it A.I/Robots,  Clones/Replicants or something more Sinister!

So such a Plot could Connect and UPLIFT our Franchise in Context to the Company Agenda!

If this does well but Fans want more of a Connection to ALIEN... well a Season 2 could go Forwards like 50, 75, 100 Years and so be in the ALIEN MOVIE Franchise Time-Line and Connect more to our Xenomorph etc ;)

BigDaveAlien: Covenant ForumAlien Series for Hulu is official

Well i guess that TIME will TELL as to WHAT we are in Store for!

"it’s the first ‘Alien’ story set on Earth, and by blending both the timeless horror of the first ‘Alien’ film with the non-stop action of the second, it’s going to be a scary thrill ride that will blow people back in their seats.”

You could Read into that Completely Wrong..... it may get some Fans thinking.... OK so we gonna get Xenomorphs, we gonna First Encounter them Slowly so it be a Horror then to Deal with Menace its CALL in the Military for some ACTION!

Not saying that the ABOVE is what we WONT get, as well we come to that OLD CHESTNUT.... How many Fans could Accept or be Pleased with a ALIEN Franchise Venture if it has NO real ALIEN threat?  No Xenomorphs!

I think the BIGGEST thing we should Pay Attention to would be this FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

So we are in the Year 2020 we are 102 Years before the Crew of the Nostromo come Face to Face with the FIRST TIME we had ever seen the ALIEN (Xenomorph).

To me the NEAR FUTURE is not going to be 100 Years, and so i think by NEAR they must mean in 20-50 Years which within Context to the ALIEN TIMELINE would be our Near Future.

Now to have a TV Series thats SET on Earth and if i ASSUME some Time before ALIEN and we are going to see Xenomorphs or Similar on Earth like what 25-75 Years before ALIEN then thats going to Contradict the First Movie and the Prequels.

WHY i think anything UP TO 2179 on Earth is going to CONFLICT with the Franchise if we are going to see Xenomorphs!

UNLESS.....

1) They are giving us a ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE like how the Dark Knight Batman is NOT in the same Universe as the 1989 Movie or the NEXT ONE... would this UPSET some Fans?

2) This would be Considered as Canon and they are in effect going to REBOOT/RETCON some of the Franchise.

3) They maybe could Introduce a Different Horror to show that Mankind (well some Science/Weapons Division) is Genetically Messing about with something to Create a Horror...  WHY something like this would ACT as a Prequel to ALIEN if they decided to go for the Hill/Giler Draft the Red Cylinder Plot (The Company had Created the Xenomorph and LV-426 was a TRAP/TEST to see how their Perfected Bio-Weapon would Perform). Again how this would Explain the eventual Space Jockey, and also such a PLOT would UPSET the Fans...(If it leads to the Company had Created the Xenomorph).

I am NOT sure they would want to Destroy the Legacy of the Xenomorph, i am sure Disney are FULLY aware of  HOW some Fans feel this is what Alien Covenant had done.

I think we ALSO have to ask to WHY they ideally would want Ridley Scott on board if we Basically going for a ALIEN like Story that Evolved to a ALIENS Action during the TV Series.

If you listen to Ridley Scott over the last 5 Years or so then he seems to Feel and be Proud that with Prometheus he was looking at WAYS to go and Expand the Franchise BEYOND the Eggs, Queens and Ripley etc.

So i dont think they want Ridley Scott so he can go and give us Xenomorphs ;)  also i dont think this TV Show will Directly link with the Prequels but it may TOUCH ON some of the Themes of the Prequels and maybe THIS is WHY they want RS involved?

I have said before and i was going to Comment few days ago but i have been Busy on a Old Subject about a TV Series and the Avenues you can take that DONT have to be about or Connect to the Xenomorph or Ripley.

When you take out Xenomorphs and Ripley there is STILL quite a lot you can Explore with the Franchise, its JUST with the ALIEN Prefix your going to be Expected to Connect and show the Fans Xenomorphs....

when you look at the WHOLE FRANCHISE you can see we are looking at Corporate Greed, Personal Gain, Indications of Corporate Rivalry, CREATION and the Hubris of doing this...   Experimenting to Create/Engineer something and the Hubris/Hazard of such!

WHY would the Company in 2122 had wanted the Xenomorph and we see this Continued somewhat with Aliens but Certainly Alien 3, and so IF they OBTAINED a Specimen then WHAT NEXT?  We see that Alien R showed they Tried Again and OBTAINED their Specimen but Failed to Control/Contain it, but we see with Ripley  8 what a Genetic Specimen she was... who NEED to have Synthetics when you have Ripley 8, why Marines... when you have a Super Solider and you have something with more Use/Control than maybe a Xenomorph!

IF you have got this FAR then thanks for staying Tuned and NOW i will make my Point ;

WHAT if the Pursuit of Biological Warfare via  a Engineered Creation/Horror was something that the ALIEN Franchise Theatrically was NOT some of Mankinds First Rodeo?

so if we have some Company/Scientist go about TRYING to Play God, and Engineer/Experiment to Create some Perfect Life-form for whatever Purpose, but this WENT BUST... so they Abandoned It!

JANEK had said he had to Bomb a Outpost because some Scientists was Engineering/Creating something they SHOULD NOT and it Got Loose and so they had to DESTROY the Outpost with EVERYONE inside as they could NOT go and Risk whatever they was doing Escape..... well  if we had been $%£^%& about with Dangerous Stuff then.... who is to say we have NOT like Many Years prior?

And so some Humans had already maybe played their hands at Dr Moreau quite a while before we see DAVID go and do the same on Planet 4.   Certainly the Engineers had been playing Dr Moreau many Thousands of Years prior..

Such a PLOT would Uplift the Prequels Theme and ALIEN as far as the COMPANY AGENDA...  by that IF we have some Humans going about Many Years before ALIEN, who had been trying to Engineer Life but Create a Horror... then Many Many Years after this is Abandoned... when they Discover the Engineers Secrets/Experiments that they was doing and INDEED the Xenomorph this could GIVE a GREAT reason for WHY the Company are Interested because they have Discovered some Perfect Engineered Life-form that is BEYOND what Horrors some of Mankind may have attempted between 2040-280 ;)

Ridley Scott had indicated his sequel to AC would NOT be about Xenomorphs but WHAT KIND of a WORLD that David would Create and it would be about A.I but bare in mind he said the Replicants are A.I.  We know its UNLIKELY we would get a Continuation... but i was Drawn to that David would Engineer/Evolve those Human Embryos.... he had indicated he wanted to EVOLVE our Dr Shaw!

So if FX are considering such a PLOT about playing Dr Moreau and Creating/Engineering a Life-form which is based on Humans, then maybe this could be WHY they could want RS on-board to maybe see WHAT kind of Plans he had for WHAT KIND of a WORLD that David would Created. (more Specifically what Creations does he have in mind).

Please no connection to Ripley, they have already had her in four movies and Amanda in some material. Get new characters with no connection to that part of the universe. At least the prequels tried something new but you got to have writers that know how to write good material.

I believe NOT! NOTTING!!!! absolutely 0! Ziltch! ZAAADDaaaa! Zip! Donut! LESS THAN :>) NOTHING, when it comes to news about anything related to Alien. In fact I do not even believe Disney really means to produce anything here at all.

This was all fake news from Disney to find out where Ridley's account is hiding after the loss on AC! LOOOOOOL

And if I were that guy I would hide my computers, change continents, go to crypto, change names, change wifes, YEP GET RID OF ALL THE WHORES, ditch the kids, put on best disguise ever, change hair style, get new phone number, and yes even dare I say it be careful which web sites you ever go to ever again! and still they can find you with the satellites and phone networks through voice identification anywhere on the globe!

So no I think Disney is big liars! They have been talking about putting out a show for years and they never do! ALL LIES! LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES AND MORE LIES.....it never happens my men!!! IT NEVER HAPPENS.....and you know who just keeps talking about it? We do! we keep talking about it over and over and over and over and over! NO MORE!

Never again will I believe anything that some corp suit says from RAT LAND Corp offices.....this means less than nothing when it comes to these liars....they promise so much but never deliver.

I put curse on entire Disney world now!

Ahhhhhhhhh OOHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM! AAAAAHHHHHHH OOOOOOHHHHHHMMMMMM!

Curse can never be broken until Alien show is put on air! 

This is real bad curse! Cannot be ever broken!

Fargo Is great, I've seen the first two seasons and I highly recommend.

And yeah I said the same thing about the budget in Alien Theory's discord server. It's worth noting we got a small look at Earth in a Covenant deleted scene. I'd say with Scott producing, Earth should probably resemble it somewhat.

The show’s Twitter revealed: “Alien is currently in development at FX Networks. The first TV series based on the classic film series is helmed by Fargo and Legion’s Noah Hawley. Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

Check it out below.

FX chief John Landgraf also said: “FX is moving quickly to bring audiences the first television series based on one of the greatest science- fiction horror classics ever made: ‘Alien.’ ‘Alien’ will be helmed by ‘Fargo’ and ‘Legion’s’ Noah Hawley stepping into the creator/executive producer chair, and FX is in advanced negotiations with Academy Award winner, Sir Ridley Scott, director of the first ‘Alien’ film and the sequel, ‘Alien: Covenant,’ to join the project as an Executive Producer. Set not too far into our future, it’s the first ‘Alien’ story set on Earth, and by blending both the timeless horror of the first ‘Alien’ film with the non-stop action of the second, it’s going to be a scary thrill ride that will blow people back in their seats.”

Additionally, we hear Ridley Scott will serve as an executive producer. There is no word yet on if Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley or any of the other characters from the saga will also be in the series. But we’ll keep you updated as we hear more. (source)

It's will be like a cyberpunk. But without neon and cybernetic implants. A mix between horror and intense action.

Perhaps, it will be a story after Isolation. Amanda Ripley return to Earth and find some xenotecnologies.

It has to have a damn good script if it happens on Earth.

Will it have some WY and androids conspiracy? Or it will be like one of the werewolves films, where the werewolf is replaced by Alien?

I think it's reasonable to assume that W-Y would have searched Fiorina 161 thoroughly. They would therefore have found the damaged synthetic Bishop, at least one facehugger, the shed skin of the baby xenomorph and the blood sample of Ripley. The blood sample would contain a blend of human and xenomorph DNA.

I suppose it's possible that Bishop and his team made experiments with what they found and it ended in disaster?
