Alien: Covenant | 5/19/2017 | Who needs mystery?
zackzack replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Re: Alien: Prometheus, Alien: Covenant Alien as a title is cinematically iconic, specific, unique, and when paired with a name associated with Greek mythology or some Christian concept, the message becomes diluted or confusing (even though there are some blunt religious concepts in the Alien series). I am not a big fan of using Alien as part of the title. I feel that the title Prometheus is a stroke of genius as it gets non-Alien scifi fans and casual moviegoers intrigued. And I love how they insert references from the earlier movies (the space jockey chair) in the teaser for the fans but don't explicitly call the movie an Alien movie. But to me, the new movie to me sounds like a movie made around a video game tie-in, i.e. highly commercial, i.e. bloated but mediocre (like how the Fast & Furious movies evolve into a pair of uninteresting, non-specific action movies after Fast 5). I seriously hope not. But hey, I am not the CEO of Fox. -

Noomi Rapace character seems to be missing from the most recent synopsis. "In addition to the release date and logo, Fox also released an official synopsis, which features one glaring omission: Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition." from Collider -

This doesn't sound so good... 10,000 screenwriters, rewrites, a competing project, a cancelled said project, delayed start date, title changed again... -
I don't how many viewers that Holiday Special draw annually but modern day audience who are used to seeing Dreamworks & Pixar & now Marvel stuff are not just as well acquainted to Snoopy & the Gang. Hence, sleeper hit status. The movie is just too gentle for a whole generation of audience who used to the comedic aggressiveness of modern day animation.

I guess he comes back from his neck-twist in TDKR, and goes all-out on the rest of Bruce Wayne's crew. And where is Mr Wayne?
