MemberPraetorianApr-19-2017 5:09 PMNothing extra new, I just put together some stills from the first A-C trailer and the tv-spot 'Hide' and an Empire Mag image to show the scene in question. Probably now we know who the victim is.

MemberTrilobiteApr-19-2017 5:16 PMIs that the same person in pics 2 and 3? It appears something is around her neck in pic 2 but not 3 unless it was torn off? Interesting sequence!

MemberPraetorianApr-19-2017 5:25 PMYes, I think every item is from the same scene. According to BigDave, she is Rosenthal. Her arm is injured, probably you see the bandage.

MemberFacehuggerApr-19-2017 5:30 PMYeah I think you're right. But I wish it doesn't turn into an out 'n out slasher movie, with most of the characters existing purely as alien fodder. I'd like to be made to emotionally invest in every soon-to-be-dead person, which also makes me wonder how many characters will remain alive/operational by the end of the film -- including aliens? I hope they surprise us by it not simply being David and Daniels.

MemberTrilobiteApr-19-2017 5:32 PMThat's right. So the sling probably came off trying to defend herself in panic. Nicely put together!

MemberDeaconApr-19-2017 6:25 PMUnfortunately it appears that the movie is a Space Slasher Movie, and so its more a Alien R and AVP R on a smaller scale but only with Xenomorphs and Neomorphs.
Then the Scenes on the Covenant will give us that Alien feeling, i wander how much Prometheus stuff will be covered, and i hope they are not trying to steer away from this.

MemberTrilobiteApr-19-2017 6:31 PMBigDave We have been shown a lot but I suspect RS is holding some cards close to his chest.

Have faith brother we're in for a ride. I promise.
DK,
I think 2-3 are the same at different angles and lighting. I think she gets nailed in the back by the Neo hence her screaming out and leaning back

MemberDeaconApr-19-2017 6:53 PMNot saying it looks a bad movie ;)
I think a lot will hinge on the reviews this movie gets, but it seems RS and Co already know where they are going with the sequel and we can hope the sequel will cover a bit more Engineers and Prometheus links.
Just seems its a case that Fox felt like the route to steer further from Alien and explore our Bald Blue Meanies, was a direction that most fans would not enjoy and not make as much $$$ as giving them Xenomorphs, and Miss Weaver.
I will have to rest judgement until May 11th Midnight ;)
I just wonder what Plan A would have been like, but maybe they are not giving up on that... but some of John Logans comments to worry me...
i wonder if the earlier drafts may leak online at any point and then we can have a look over them and see if for the Prometheus fans, it may effect us the same way that seeing Spaights Alien Engineers did to some of the Alien Fanboys so to speak.
We wanted Aliens and Ridley is gonna give us F-ing Aliens as he said lol
Does not mean it wont be a good movie, i just hope it maybe is a peace of Fanboy Popcorn to pass them by until Alien 5, and tease some mild clues to the Philosophy, Creationism, Mythos and Mystique behind the Engineers etc... That the next movie will hopefully cover..
I hope they are not Steering further away from Prometheus and Engineers with the Franchise, like they intended to Steer away from Alien and the Xeno with the Plan A

MemberTrilobiteApr-19-2017 7:00 PMBD- RS is going to give us Fu#$ing Aliens but I am thinking he has thought it out to weave the enginner story in there to set it up for Awakening. Seems like RS wanted to explore the engineers but saw how polarizing Prometheus was. Personally, I would be down with that.

MemberChestbursterApr-19-2017 7:55 PMI hope this movie never becomes a new Jurassic Park movie, because this will no nice thing, I am seeing many kinds of new xeno etc... (creatures) and the skein is getting tangled for me, beware when suspense is losing!

MemberFacehuggerApr-19-2017 11:14 PMI hadn't noticed before, but in the picture with the Neomorph eating its victim it looks like it has its tail wrapped around the victim's leg(s). On another thread someone pointed out what looked like a barb/spike on the tip of the tail. So nasty.

MemberTrilobiteApr-19-2017 11:21 PMauximenes Good observation. Perhaps a similar restraint tactic as the face hugger?
