* Replies now look like this * I'm quite pleased with how it's looking now and is quite an upgrade from what we had before. However there's always room for improvement, so please share your feedback!

Initially the first episodes were going to drop at 8pm EST on August 12th, but I assume they switched it to 12am on the 13th? Unless they’re referring to a different timezone, I can’t see them getting their days confused on official marketing material… Yet they’ve been touting August 12th since it was announced. So I’m a bit puzzled.

My Disney+ says it airs around 2 am EST for me, the night of the 12th to 13th, so sorta confusing. Side note, all the episodes release on my birthday!!

Alien 5 vibes...

This is so exciting. it's like a dream comes true.

I can't wait, jealous of the people that got to go to the early screening. x

This will be the game that makes me finally buy a VR set.

It's definitely setting the expectations high! lol

I LOVE this photo and i want to live in this land

It fits, so why not?

Thing is, it's not hard to respect the established timeline and operate around what already exists. Romulus contained elements of Prometheus, why can't the series? Why can't creators play in their own sandboxes? Is there no room for creativity and originality within these vastly expansive franchises? 

Gripes aside at least Scott set out to create something new and unique using the same DNA as Alien without being a cloned copy/paste. How many times are we going to smile and clap at the predictability of an egg, the Facehugger latching onto someone's face – then oh no! We know what comes next... At least Prometheus and Covenant to a degree tried to expand our imaginations and venture into new territory.

Its lazy writing imo, if storytellers can't create something in the same universe without polluting what already exists.

So excited with this news. I still havent really started the VR game （i spent too much time on Alien Fireteam lol) but its good to know we can play it in 2D platform.

I think the president is a AvP fan 

I'm not a huge fan of the prequels so if this TV-show will be better they can ignore what the prequels did, but only if they come up with better quality.

I am so, so excited to watch this darn show. My god it looks amazing. Funny, some of the shots show Wendy grabbing her head like she's in pain (could be her new synth ears picking up higher pitched sounds, still that should not cause her any discomfort), I feel like she might be rejecting her new body maybe? 

@Jonesy; Looks like that eye parasite is in it's face maybe.

Wendy's character keeps holding her ear/head and wincing in pain, at first I assumed she was hearing things at a higher pitch because of her Synth body, but now I feel like she may actually be having problems with it, perhaps rejecting it? Anyways, can't wait to see this show!!

The last shot is so good, and the sheep's eyes give me creeps

Some more.

Additionally, in the alternate ending, Andy was supposed to save Rain from drifting away into space after the Offspring was yeeted out.

My god it looks so good, I can't wait. One thing though, the brief synopsis of Kirsh's character gives me a bad feeling he won't be a good android, which kinda sucks. As much as I love the character David, evil or cruel/hateful (disdainful of humanity) AI isn't something I normally like, i'm a Bishop/Call/Samuels fan. I had the same issue with the Alien: Icarus comic, it was good but I didn't enjoy the cynical nature of the androids.

I hope i'm wrong because I really was looking forward to seeing him on screen, but the guy does look a lot like Roy Batty (it was Timothy Olyphant's choice to look like that, not the director) and we all know his opinion of humanity, though I suppose he did change his mind in the end.

I'm digging deep in the material, trying to add everything I can I find cool or interesting.

sounds like fun , bring it on 

I enjoy Alien Resurrection. I think Jean Pierre did a great job by making this sequel in a less serious tone and it stands on its own. I love his visuals and quirky style.  Winona Ryder being in it is also a perfect choice. it complements Ripley's character really well. I am glad Boyle turned it down lol.

Echo your thoughts on the Engineers! Felt like it opened up the franchise so that the Alien seemed just a small corner of this universe that contained wonders and horrors beyond what we could comprehend or endure.

With a better script maybe, but according to the Perfect Organism podcast, the script was an issue as well.

To give a little something away, I'm creating a extra scene that was never shot entirely.

Pulling all the tricks I know to make this the ultimate version of Prometheus.

As much character development shots as I can find. Except for a few that I don't like or think don't contribute to the story and the characters.

Using the original soundtrack to close some audio gaps.

I dug really deep in all of the 4 disc collectors edition blu rays. Saw what other fan editors did and build upon that.

It will be a combination of others work, perfected that and added so much of my own work.

Color graded all the shots that were still ungraded so that everything has the same feel.

For some it might be too long and boring but this is for people like me that want to spend every second possible staying in this world and story.

The engineers are my favorite part of the Alien lore. It made the world so much deeper and complexer. First the Alien franchise was just a professional B movie series. The engineer lore makes it so much more interrsting in my opinion. The creation of man connected to the xenomorphs and the engineers (space jockeys) is just perfect for me.

Thank you for your interest, I hope to finish it soon. Getting closer and closer. It might take another 2 months and then it will probably be done. I think I read about this Janus before is that possible? Did you already post about it somewhere else on this site?

Sounds amazing Magnum Opus, and as someone else who has been consumed by the Movie Prometheus, I am definitely interested. 
I too have spent much time and effort to actually writing a two part sequel to Prometheus which continues the promise of the great themes within WITHOUT harming Alien Covenant! 
I have already sent the first part, (which is titled’Janus’) to Dark Nebula and he is reading it and will give me feedback when he finishes.

if you like I can send you the script for Janus as well if you would be interested in reading it too.

the basic premise is that it takes the surviving members of Prometheus, (some have actually survived that we thought dead) and brings them into the same timeframe as Ripley8 (Without harming Alien Covenant) and climaxing in a ultimate finally that brings the series to a satisfying end. This is NOT a time travel story!

let me know if you’re interested.

Lamaruke 

Casually ignoring the fact a Xenomorph is ripping soldiers to shreds behind him lol...

It could be interesting

All the shots look promising. I hope it will have a good plot and make the whole Alien timeline relatable and interesting. I am happy the trailer has so many views on YouTube (so far already have 22M). This is the first ALIEN TV show ever and I have been looking for it since Prometheus. 8 Hrs of bliss. That's like whole Alien 1-4 combined. I am looking for Season 2 already lol. 

Agreed, they really are dropping a lot from the series in close proximity to the last. Unless the marketing plan for this show is vastly extensive, I don't see them maintaining this momentum all the way to August. Hope they pace themselves to keep the hype alive.

Yeah, I guess they're gonna goof this release because they went with no info for almost a year then are hitting us with tons of trailers in a very small window of time. They need to pace themselves, save these for closer to the release date. The trailers are starting to have spoilers in them too.

 I have to adjust my findings, listened more closely and it's actually: Henryk Wieniawski: Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 22: III. Allegro confuoco.

Sorry for the confusion.

I just found out the violin composition by the girl at the end is: Henryk Wieniawski - Scherzo Tarantelle Op 16.

Since I need it to edit into my fan edit of Prometheus.

Beautiful artwork.

This sounds wonderful!! I am looking forward to seeing it, and I am certain most fans will too. Thank you for your hard word and dedication, i've pinned this for visibility!

Needs more Kirsh. Seriously tho, looks amazing.

OWWW!!! That is one BIG Continuity SNARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
