Giger's Necronom IV appears on Alien: Covenant Clapperboard! (UPDATED)

Yet another clapperboard showing H.R Giger's Necronom IV!

There's a link to this post at giger.com :)

So we are getting the White design Prometheus concepts in the Neomorphs, the classic Xeno, and now maybe even the original Morb??? This is gonna get crazy 

It would appear that so much has been given away re the creature concepts. However I feel that there are going to be a few unexpected surprises which I am so looking forward to.

I mean everything has been kept totally under wraps until very recently, that's why I cannot believe that there won't be at least one MORB design which we were not really expecting, plus some other cool and shocking surprises.

I really think that Sir Ridley is aiming to blow every other ALIEN movie out of the water!

Lone thats my expectation. What i really wish for and ill praise him beyond belief.

However if we have seen everything already and not the adult neo only..i will be really disapointed...i also expect the xeno to be different.

Indeed a lot has been given away so far.

1) Ridley Scott said the movie will have every stage of the Alien, from Egg to Big Chap, Logan mentioned you cant try and make a Alien Prequel without having to go show the Xenomorph Life Cycle......   Ridley openly mentioned about the Big Chap, the Production staff all had various items of clothing that depicted the classic Xenomorph.. 

And then the Poster showed us a very similar looking Alien, and then we had the trailer (never mind leaked shots which Fox never seemed to bothered about the Egg Cave one) and so the Trailer showed us Eggs, Face Hugger and a Alien at the end that is very similar to the Xenomorph.

2) The other element was the Neomorph's that again was mentioned in other posts started on AVPGalaxy and basically never got any take down requests... its only leaked images that Fox seemed to want down at the time prior to Trailers.

since the Trailer, Fox have not been too bothered with people discussing the extra Footage shown to some (15 minutes) which go into detail more about the Neomorph events.. rather than just the one we saw in part in the Trailer.

Those who only see the Trailer, would not see or know what the Neomorph looks like, they would not have paid attention in detail or freeze frame the Neomorph quick glimpse as Farris attempted to shoot it.

But those who had seen leaked props, studied the trailer and read upon the first mention of the New Monster in detail and Spores... would when looking at unused Prometheus concepts.. be able to make a very good guess at what the Adult Neomorph would look like.

So indeed if these are the only Alien's in the movie, then we have been spoilt a bit already, i think Ridley intended to showcase the more Xeno looking Alien to hook in the Alien fans and those disappointed with Prometheus and about the Engineers rather than Alien Xenomorph.. i dont think he intended to give away the other Alien Neomorphs apart from showing there would be TWO Monsters... but to leave the actual look of the Neomorph's under wraps.

I do think that there is more that they are not giving away, i also think the Trailer is set up in a misleading way as well as a lot of comments by Ridley and Cast.... While Fassbender has kind of given it a way a bit.. in seemingly leading us up a Garden Path....

I think they are not going to cover much in depth, this is what the Books would be for... and so it will leave it open to reaction as far as the Alien Xenomorph and Neomorphs and i think depending on reaction to them and what little screen time or longer they get.... Fox can then gauge if the next movie needs more Alien screen time... maybe different Aliens... or just stick to the Xenomorph.

So it would have been nice to had seen eventually something similar to the few Ultramorph concepts or even the Deacon or related Organisms... but who knows if they will feature in future movies...

I do suspect that the leaked Prop images did hold something they wanted to keep covered up.... maybe it was too revealing as far as the Neomorph... maybe Xenomorph too... or maybe something else in those shots could be introduced that we have not seen yet...

Boy with couples in the movie.. i hope for a Baby-head Belly Burster... and hope thats the Ace Card Ridley has planned... who knows..

I really don't think we have seen everything already Tiago.

Just imagine what's left in store! ;)

Yes Dave I like the sound of a baby headed bellybuster. Deceptively kinda cute, but ultimately a vicious, hostile wee beastie! ;) 

...and leads us right back to unused concepts, being revamped for Alien Covenant!

LONE - How extremely compelling! I certainly hope we are treated to some of the unused concepts throughout the Alien continuity when Alien: Covenant is at last released! Thank you so very much for taking the time to share this with us! :)

I am sure it would borrow from some unused ideas and concepts from Prometheus and even prior movies that was dropped or not used.

I think after AC is out we would see concepts similar to previous ideas that again maybe never made it to AC with maybe new concepts for AC then maybe never make it too.

I think im looking forwards to what concepts and ideas they had Post Prometheus to Alien Covenant wrapping up shooting etc more than the movie itself lol.

It will be interesting to see what ideas they had, that may have then been changed or dropped.

I could be wrong, but I really don't see any significance of that picture in regards to the upcoming film. Probably there because someone needed something to do.

You may be correct Neomorph, it could be meant as a tribute to H.R Giger and nothing more.

Regardless, I would love to have one of those clapperboards! 

You're welcome Something Real! :)

Well the Source back in March 2015 said they was Two monsters one based off Necronom 4 and the other of the Original Alien design (which they then ended up saying the alternatives not final).

Again cant say if any of that is true...

But what we do know is this.....

This movie is in a way what Ridley claims will lead to a Origin Story, he even had the Prop Hand.. tagged "Where it all Begins"

So in context to a new Prequel series that would now give us those answers down the line (or so they hint)..

Where this indeed ALL BEGAN... was with that Necronom 4, its what Ridley saw when presented the work by O'Bannon and Ridley said "thats it"

So its a nod to the Original idea that evolved to what we all came to know as the 1979 Big Chap...

Which is why also the Production staff have clothes made for them that feature various images of the 1979 Alien and its Life Cycle.

Its a nod to the concepts that gave us Alien and how they are now going to show us how as far as in the Franchise we arrived at that Alien.

So also in a way it can play a Red Herring to people too.

Could we see a design like the Necronom 4 in future? Who knows.

Either way, I see it as a tribute to Giger.

As you pointed out the where it all begins tag takes on real significance.  

One [or both] of H.Rs beautiful monsters, either Big Chap or one based purely on Necronom 4 could be featured in AC or the follow up/s before Ridley "backs in" to A L I E N.

Certainly Ridley Scott is trying to make a fresh take on the Xeno and connections.... he tried with Prometheus but failed... because well if Prometheus we saw a more Xeno Fifield...  If we saw something come from Milburn after the Hammerpede laid a Egg etc.... that then either killed people or just saw the Young stage of it..

And if the Deacon say escaped and found and killed Vickers, and David and Shaw escaped... these things would have turned Prometheus to have some of those less Alien Action scenes that Alien Engineers had.

Its this reason AC will show us Aliens killing people... but also trying something new and fresh with the Neomorph

Depending how the they go down and reaction... i think Ridley would like to try and show some other slightly different related Monsters... bring something Fresh.

The Ultramorph played a big role in terms of Plot and Design for Spaights Draft... despite not so much in screen time.

Maybe if we are going to ever touch up on Engineers in the next few movies.. be it flash back..../ or actually within the timeline of post AC.... maybe having something like the Ultramorph could be a nice step to take.

I think Fox and Ridley will indeed look at fans reactions..

for me, the shower scene will involve the classic xeno. as wev seen it before, it is shown, even just slightly in the trailer but still more than anything else so no point in really hiding it. it also gets the fans excited
