Watched the clip, reminded me of WestWorld (the HBO show, not the old movie)

 

Yeah, I always felt that the technological/control room parts of WESTWORLD had a definite Ridley Scott vibe.

Quintus - still reserves the right to snigger at people who enjoy patently bad movies in his view, such as Prometheus. 

 

And those of us who enjoy veging out with Godzilla vs the Smog Monster or King Kung Fu?

It's Paradise Lost through the lens of HR Giger. Brilliant.

Makes me wish they kept the film's original title, but the religious overtones of 'Covenant' are interesting nonetheless. Those human figures appear to be Engineers in the poster.

 

Super high-res version, where you can make out every detail:

Wow, now THAT'S a poster! Stunning.

 

It reminds me of the Vigeland park here in Oslo, if Giger had designed it.

So the new poster is making you feel a bit, uh, erect then?

Yeah -- in line with Giger's sexual imagery! ;)

Not sure if it's supposed to be ambitious or pretentious?

 

Very fine line between the two. Being on the wrong side can be disastrous. 

 

This poster is very handsome. 

 

Still couldn't give a crap about the movie it's for, mind. Does that mean the poster has failed? No, because this is actually just the case of my personal preconceptions ruling my responses. 

 

The 2000s: the era of over-thinking promo posters.

It actually is. But I wonder if it's writing cheques it can't cash?

In Alien the dark artistic subtext from Giger's designs were an environment. Here they seem to be a marketing ploy.

Not an encouraging first-listen, that's for sure. :/

 

Dammit Ridley, what was so bad about HGW's score that you needed to bin it halfway through sessions?

Great track! Sounds like a hybrid of PROMETHEUS and ALIEN, just as the film seems to be -- but overall more interesting things going on in the textures than PROMETHEUS (which only had, like, the "Life" theme by HGW and a few other snippets that were highlights). Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

You like everything!

 

Everything that's good, yes! :)

 

Vice versa, this board -- more often than not -- seems to hate everything that isn't STAR WARS or LORD OF THE RINGS.
