Unexpected news came from Hollywood. Director Ridley Scott announced the beginning of work on his new film, which will not be called "Prometheus 2", as many expected, but "Alien: Covenant" (Alien: Covenant). The picture will become an integral part of the Alien universe, which, of course, will please fans of the original series, who were somewhat disappointed with the content of the film "Prometheus".
During the AFI film festival last week, Ridley Scott notified the press that his new picture would change his name to "Alien: The Covenant." In the process of preparing for the shooting of the film "Prometheus 2" the script underwent a huge number of changes, and also changed several working titles. The director's words were confirmed by the official Twitter-account of the studio of 20th Century Fox, which, among other things, announced the release date of the picture on the big screen. "Alien: Testament" viewers will be able to see on October 6, 2017.
The film "Prometheus" was originally intended to become a prequel to the very first "Alien" in 1979, but in the process of long-suffering production its script was constantly rewritten by different writers. As a result, something was not quite clear, which was not expected by any of the fans. However, some of the key elements of the franchise, including the mysterious alien race, known as the "Engineers", were shown to viewers. Also we were shown a distant ancestor of xenomorphs in one of its forms. It was felt in the painting and the legacy of the artist Hans Giger, although he did not participate in the shooting directly. The open ending of "Prometheus" left viewers in confusion. It was completely unclear what they had just seen and what to expect from the continuation of the film.
Many hope that after a not very successful "Prometheus" Ridley Scott thought again, and finally give the fans what they have been waiting for him for so long. Recall that not so long ago the director Neil Blokamp, famous for his paintings "District No. 9" and "Robot named Chappi," announced the beginning of work on the official continuation of the series "Aliens" with the participation of Sigourney Weaver. However, recently in his Twitter, the director wrote that he had temporarily suspended work on the project to enable Ridley Scott to release his next film. As it turned out, Neil was aware that Scott decided to return to the franchise that made him famous in 1979.
If you believe the leaks of information published on fan sites, the story Alien: Covenant will be the second chapter in the prequel trilogy of the original "Alien" (the first chapter, whether we like it or not, will remain "Prometheus"). According to the plot of the picture, the Earth ship-colony Covenant in a remote corner of the galaxy encounters a completely uncharted world, which at first seems to travelers a real paradise. The only living person on the discovered planet is synthetics David, familiar to us on "Prometheus" (his role is played by actor Michael Fassbender). This is all that is currently known about the plot. We with you can only wait for new information from the crew, which will not take long to wait.
