Submit your questions for Ridley Scott and the cast of Alien: Covenant!

Starlogger Director's Cut. Sorry for being lazy.

For Michael Fassbender - How does it feel to portray a character who has been given a huge story arc in such an iconic franchise?

I would ask Ridley Scott, according to the Alien making of info, the first cut of Alien was over three hours long. Will we see the day that this original cut released as a fans collection?

I would ask only that when/if you have a chance, that please extend all our appreciation and respect to Sir Ridley Scott and the cast, and maybe ask him if he's aware of the true scope of the fanbase and how much we love him?

To Ridley Scott:

Will you retcon Aliens (1986)?

To RS- It was suggested that the Alien and Blade Runner universes were in the same space. Are there any plans to have those two franchises meet up on day?

dk - That Easter Egg is mine you can not have it :P

Rick- I think the egg has hatched. Apologies.

Ridley Scott - Does the Queen have a place in your universe or do you feel it brings the Xenomorph down to a human understanding - too much like an insect species, losing its alien and terrifying qualities? 

To any actor- What was your impression of the movie from shooting to seeing the theatrical version?

I would probably only have one question for Ridley Scott. Since I doubt he'll give us the lowdown on the black goo (as that's probably a major plot point later) I would ask if he plans to explain how it works. This question would need to be framed a certain way if we're to get a straight answer. It would begin with a statement.

Mr. Scott, in Prometheus and from what we've seen of Alien: Covenant, it would appear that the pathogen which has been dubbed "the black goo" has varying effects when a living organism is exposed. Will the reason for this be explained in Alien Covenant? If not, will a reason ever be given in any of the subsequent films or is this one thing that will remain a mystery?

Really hoping he would say there will be an answer provided. If there isn't, it could completely unhinge the integrity of the films.

QueenElizabethShaw Nicely phrased.

Thanks. Now if only there was a way to somehow get the questions on this thread addressed. It would be fantastic if at some point, the admins here could get some interview time booked or arrange a video chat session.

I'm sure it's easier said than done though.

QueenElizabethShaw Chris will be meeting RS face to face for an interview and that is why he made this thread. Were you aware of the announcement? Here it is in case you did not see it.

I'll have to agree...why no androids first and drones. Why no helmets...And no protection. It's just unrealistic. The aliens will find a way it's so easy to make a plot to include realism/caution and infection...after all you already did it with alien! And why all the stupidity in Prometheus...was it supposed to be a haunted house in space? They should have been bimbo teenagers :) . 

Please thank Sir Ridley for me, for returning to his Alien Universe. Both with PROMETHEUS and COVENANT. I wish he could make Sci-fi movies and in particular Alien prequel/sequels forever more!

From the images and footage we have seen so far, I have gathered the impression that Sir Ridley is paying homage not only to A L I E N itself, but to the many great talents he worked with on A L I E N. The likes of H.R Giger, Moebius, Gerry Goldsmith etc. Does he agree with that ?

To the cast: I would like to ask them what it was like to step onto The Master World-builders sets and have so much detail and realism to work with?

[For the record I think they are the luckiest people in the world!]

To Michael Fassbender: Post the "Meet Walter" video I'm getting quite an Ash from A L I E N vibe from Walter, re his haircut and certain mannerisms. Were there any particular films, or roles by other actors which influenced your basis for Walter's character and nuances? Did Sir Ridley suggest any for inspiration? 

You can choose some of the questions.

Q number 1:

"Ridley, heroic son, what was the most challenging and difficult thing to you while making Alien: Covenant?"

Q number 2:

"Ridley, heroic son, how was it working with the new actors on the set of Alien: Covenant?"

Q number 3:

"Ridley, heroic son, what can you tell us about the Engineers? Their agenda,culture, anything about them. You described them as elegant, dark angels."

Q number 4 to everyone:

"What would you rather prefer? James Cameron's Xenomorph queen or Giger's unused Egg silo from the first Alien. Now we all know about the xenomorph queen, but Giger's idea was different, more nightmarish. In Giger's mind, the eggs were produced from pregnant biomechanical looking bellies that were on the walls of the Egg silo. And what are your thoughts about Giger's idea?"

I did not see it and you just made my day. This is pretty cool. Some of the questions on this thread are really good. It'll be awesome to find out what Ridley and the others have to say.
