Alien Covenant concept art that tells a different story! Artist Khang Le's unused concept art

- Artist Khang Le recently uploaded pictures of his unused concept art for Alien Covenant back in 2014. The Prometheus sequel, which didn't have its name yet, seemed to be more engineer and alien centered in this art. We even see much more of a Giger influence in the art style and direction. I would have loved to have seen this all play out on film.

Their was so much potential...
Yep, this simple sentence just sums it all up for me.
What are you upset with in the new films so far that would have been fulfilled in this concept art?
This may explain why the earth stopped visiting aliens (infection)
@@eustacequinlank7418 the new films are just taking a big fat shit on HR Gigers art
@@Hunter-dl5bj I agree 100%. It don't even make sense lore wise like how the engineer's ships and armor/suits looks biomechanical yet their other stuff like their buildings didn't look biomechanical at all which not only inconsistent, but illogical in general.
This would have definitely been a better Alien: Covenant than the one we got.
joshXnovak1 It shouldn't have even been called Alien Covenant. A one word title Paradise. That's all we needed.
This looks a lot more like what I was expecting from the movie!
The concept art for these movies is so fucking AWESOME....yet they literally used NONE of it, and went with the most boring final concepts. WHEN WILL THEY LEARN
That's Hollyweird baby!! Its all about what makes them money, never about the fans!!
I think it’s revealed pretty early in the art that this could’ve one of the three paths from Prometheus
There’s three routes to go
Earth: (obviously off limits)
Engineers: we can see from the style
Another experiment like earth: it’s likely they chose this to build up to the engineers and keep the android idea in focus.
Going engineer could’ve distracted from the whole David story or would’ve resulted in David being removed.
Personally I’d like it to ease more into the engineers and their experiments, acting more like David to a degree to mimic how well he works that they fit right into it.
In short the idea I would have is this
Prometheus
Covenant
Then the David we are available in these arts
It would present a basic build up and skill building with less effective tools rather than he instantly getting a degree in xenomorph engineering
Would probably ether pull a AVP alien scene with David for a engineer centric story
Basically if he gets his head ripped off again this releases the pathogen and this is what releases it.
Ether stick with the engineers going to shit or we get a pretty basic beginning and middle scene into the film with people making sense or someone following David for a lead up for the next film by showing the release by David, then mid outbreak once the aftermath of whatever David did and left behind was solved.
Then we bring this stuff out for the final film; ship goes to shit and can’t get off and pull something so they go to the city to get ahold of another ship, all the concept art would’ve probably hit King Kong levels of 3 hours of film and theaters wouldn’t have a great time.
Personally I would’ve preferred the second film showing it a lot less of aliens and more of experiments and pathogens, maybe end it with the neomorph and leave it at that scene with the quick 4th one being more related compared to the xenomorph because the egg and spore are so different it was jarring.
It would’ve also shown more of a shock if the 4th carried over
But I’m guessing they didn’t plan on 4 aliens, the 3rd neomorph sneaking onto the ship would’ve been interesting and might have shown some interesting notes since it would’ve been aware of the previous events where the 2nd alien seemed just to be born at that time
these concept arts feel so out of this world. terrifyingly beautiful
Yes indeed, reminds me of the first time I watched Alien. When Kane, Dallas and Lambert set eyes on the juggernaut it took my mind to another dimension. Cheers
This concept art hints at a movie that would have BLOWN AWAY Alien Covenant in every imaginable way. Fox has *no one else* to blame but *themselves* for supposed "disappointing box office results". They canned a superior story for an inferior, ambiguous shitsmear of a story.
When I first watched Covenant I actually thought the neomorphs burst from the Engineers on the ground. To learn that the goo simply fried them in place was very disappointing. It makes perfect sense for the neomorphs to be birthed from Engineers since their DNA is similar to ours, though they should have been larger. The Gigeresque architecture and all of the little details that link this concept world & tech to the Engineer tech we saw in Prometheus were absolutely perfect conceptually from the start. David dancing in the middle of the chaotic bombing....the eggs growing on the table.....the Orrery in the room....the deforming Engineer.....all of it fantastic.
I was disappointed in Covenant but elements had grown on me and my imagimation had begun to correct its flaws......but now after seeing this concept art I see just how robbed we all were and I despise Fox for letting that happen.
well also we have to blame ourselves for this atrocity of a movie (i was one of the people who wanted more Aliens) because most of us wanted more Xenomorphs in the film
Soundwave14 Its not your fault. Xenomorph fans wanting to see the Alien more is not the problem. While I enjoyed the Engineers without the Xenomorph in Prometheus, you all had every right to voice the desire to see the Xeno more in Covenant. It was *entirely* possible to satisfy Engineer fans AND Xenomorph fans in Covenant. This all falls on the studio's poor handling of the storyline.
This could all still be remedied in the sequel to Covenant if Disney properly weaves the Albino/Destroyer Engineers from Prometheus into the story as creations of the Planet 4 Engineers, which could be the original, more human-like species of Engineer. The Destroyer Engineers being biologically perfected organic/synthetic AI's that took on a life of their own, exponentially advancing original Engineer technology and creating their own home world away from Planet 4 and performing their own research and experiments far into space on many, many worlds.
David vs The Engineers in the sequel. Unleashing thousands of Xenomorphs upon the Destroyer Engineer homeworld.
Oh the gravity of that occasion
i wouldve been fine with them implementing Xeno's into the plot in a small way or any way really sigh oh well i hope the new one does come out and we get a sequel cause they really need to finish this up because if they don't well we will never know what happens after that
Good post and I agree. For all the shit RS has been dealt I do have to wonder what his vision for the film was had Fox not pressured for a different film. I have to think he would have made something with more continuity to Prometheus and more like this.
The White Mat Studio Agreed. I think Ridley is getting unnecessary flak for Covenant.
He did say that in the sequel we would see what type of world AI would create. We are led to presume this would be the world David would create but I suspect Ridley made Planet 4 what it was in order to unveil that The albino Engineers are in fact AI and the world we see in Khang Le's concept art is theirs, far away from Planet 4.
what a waste of amazing talent/concept. Shows the movie could have been something completely unique.
Apparently anyone who wanted Giger like ideas in the movies was kicked out of the crew.
@@valken666 lol, seriously?!
SaradinTheWise perhaps like the original
It has to be a cgi cost that stopped this. It could have been the ultimate franchise but I've lost faith in Scot to deliver.
yeah, Covenants budget was much lower than Prometheus I believe.
To be honest this type of works building cgi is pretty cheap to produce. What costs if mimic real world places. Vehicle simulations. And character animation. They more normal and human it looks the more expensive
you realise almost none of the ideas in these concept art designs are even in the movie, meaning theres still a chance they or something similar could be used later. they could have saved the engineer experimentation ones since David ended up only killing another offshoot colony and not an actual Engineer planet, but its unlikely since atm its been implied that the engineers are basically extinct.
him tending the eggs is much more likely since he hasnt really gotten a chance to experiment with the eggs as much as he'd like to and still needs to work on them, thus bringing the two embryos with him in onto the ship.
The movie should of been like this
SHOULD HAVE
Nicholas Berardi
This is what I was imagining the movie was going to be like when we got those first leaked images of all the panicking/naked Engineers. I was ready for some cosmic space horror that involved some really disgusting imagery and fucked up mutations.
LightAndDarkMdness02 same, but we get hardly anything of the engineers. Perhaps it was too hard to make in the film? Or perhaps there was so much story to tell they couldn’t fit it all in one movie and so they focused on the parts with David. I wish they’d make a stand-alone movie where they take a human from way back in the past to their world. Like how in cave paintings early humans viewed them as their gods. And then we see the entire engineer world and then make shit go sideways and the horror themes come into play.
Nicholas Berard
Nicholas Berardi Ain't that the gospel!
There simply cant be enough Giger in Alien-universe
Concept art is always awesome.
How refreshing to hear a calm yet enthusiastic voice that even allows for silences in between! And the channel is very good as well, so a big thumbs up and a sub from me! Keep up the good work!
TheCatch62 absolutely! besides the great content itself, this really sells it for me :) keep it up!
Us Alien fans would love these ideas in the film but however the general audience could find it boring, so Ridley went for a horror slasher just to attempt more money grossing. Not to say I don't like the concepts shown here which I find really interesting.
Boring please the movie was unpinning and boring. But your probably right he just went for anything that made as much money as possible before the franchise crashes.
Ironically, before Prometheus, the franchise was as strong as ever. Even under the weight of 3 and Resurrection, Alien and Aliens could hold it up on their own. Only now is it under threat of actually dying.
Mr. Rich B.O.B For me Prometheus was amazing
Alien fans and the studio ruined the franchise. The studio ruined by say hell no to Engineers being too close to God and them sending man space Jesus. Fans ruined it after they rejected and by in large couldn't comprehend the heady concepts in Prometheus. So rather than getting a Prometheus sequel we got a pre-prequel to Alien that is the running for the worst Alien movie to date if you exclude the AvP crap.
In end Ridley wound up creating what he said he didn't like about Alien sequels, a brain dead big budget space thriller.
Next to The Last Jedi this was the worst sequel of 2017. In both cases they broke the continuity mythology rather build on them.
In my opinion, Ridley Scott nowadys is just an egocentric asshole who doesn't care about the alien franchise or the art behind movies. He is just doing "commissional work" and pisses on other's opinions.
Once again you have just blown my head off!!!!
The franchise needs this guy's art ....
There's just sooooo much more left to do with the film's but the reigns need to be handed over to get the most out of them...A different direction is needed as you discussed in one of your other vids...
Brilliant again...keep it up...
Awesome. Mind-blowing. Best concept art I've ever seen since The Necronomicon....words fall me. It's everything we wanted but did not get.
WOW, speechless....what AC could have been....sigh....
i hope he was well compensated. the amount of time and creativity this would have taken just to be ignored is astounding.
This makes me dislike Alien:Covenant even more.
Kashif Ali same
Its almost like they decided "Look at all these cool ideas we could use... Lets not use any of them"
Outland Call it "Ridley Squat Logic"
You can only hate the "fans" that wanted more xenomorph action instead of learning about the engineers
Why? Tumhein tau bus bahana chahye har cheez ko dislike karnay ka.
What the hell was Ridley Scott thinking when he choose to make the movie (Alien Covenant) like it was instead of this amazing vision of a Engineer culture and planet?
I think the original concept for the movie was about delving into the Engineer's culture and David's experiments, but the studio "knew" the audience wanted the alien so that original draft was scrapped in order to get a more traditional alien death slaughter movie that audiences "wanted" so that new script was greenlit since it featured the alien and disposed of all the original scripts ideas, you get tiny hints of them in Covenant, but originally the sequel was primarily about David's experiments and the Engineer culture. When Prometheus came out, a question came about of "In the next one will we see the Alien?" The reply was "If a sequel is greenlit, it will deviate even further from the alien creature" Seeing Covenant we now know how that turned out.
@@visitorzeta1669 (3 years ago, I know) it's a shame Scott caved to the demands. I honestly liked Prometheus for what it was. As much as I love me some xeno screen time, seeing the universe fleshed out in other ways would have been great too.
Ripley was an interesting heroine. I think David is an interesting antagonist. And the engineers' culture and history would have been really interesting to get in to.
It's a shame they threw all this awesome material away, this had the potential to be one of the best Alien films.
If this type of stuff was in the movie it would have made so much more $ and pleased fans.. Thanks Hollywood, your genius decisions strike again.
Maybe this concept will be used in the next sequel. Well, we'll never know.
I'd love to see it!
Wow thank you for this! This engineer storyline is one of my favorites in recent cinema. I hope Ridley completes the trilogy..
Khang Le nailed the look and feel of Alien. His vision is so much better and shows so much more passion and understanding of the source material than Ridley Scott had... It's absolutely obscene that man is being allowed to continue in the directors' seat. Body horror, disturbing sexual themes, a synthesis between high technology and perverted biology. These are the things that make the Xenomorph scary and what defines the look of the aliens (both Xenos and Space Jockey) in the original works. It is absolutely baffling to me how Ridley Scott could do such a horrible job of maintaining continuity in the universe he created... but maybe as a set builder myself, I'm biased towards preserving visual continuity between films.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it seems like the people involved with the new Star Wars sequels and the Alien prequels have literally no passion for the original works and have just decided to adopt a visual style that makes them seem so painfully disjointed that I can't even enjoy them as part of the same series. Thank God we still have directors like Denis Villeneuve who give a damn about how the world he's basing his film in (Bladerunner) is supposed to look.
Ridley Scott and Dan'O'Bannon were the genius behind Alien. Ridley Scott was nothing more than a good director who now steals credit from these 2 dead Men. Its shameful honestly, no respect for Giger.
How I wish we got to see the movie from this artwork!! It would have been awesome!!
FUCK!!!!!! This is awesome!!!!!
This concept art is so beautiful...
Thanks for putting this together!
Cannot understand why Ridley would not go with these Concepts at all. Could it be jealousy of a younger person coming up with a better idea? Or just pure arrogance? What about the artwork here being to much money for the budget due to many special effects....not sure... Weird! Even though I myself like many others did not like the idea of David creating the Xenomorphs this Concept made more sense and looked 1000 times better.
He's made clear in recent interviews that he wants to move away from the Alien side of things and do an exploration of human soul and AI thing instead. That's why he humanized the Engineers and focused everything on David and the humans instead.
Exploration of human and AIs is super cliche and super generic.
Ridley Scoot is officially incompetent now.
cuz fanboys bitched that Prometheus was different and didn't have any xenomorphs. So he totally scrapped the Paradise idea and literally killed anything that was interesting from Prometheus to troll everyone out of their money with a generic slasher sci fi movie. lol!
Fans wanted a generic slasher sci fi movie.
Also fans wanted AvP.
It was too beautiful and awe inspiring and optimistic. There's a war on hopefulness
.
One of the best channels covering the Alien franchise. The quality of your content is great!
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoy the content!
This looks really good. It would've been nice to see. I always thought the Engineer's city looked a bit underwhelming and low-tech, almost like a small colony than a city on their home world.
MAybe it would have been a budget issue, this would have been really expensive but yes this would have been a great direction for the film.
I did read that the budget was much lower than that of Prometheus unfortunately.
These visuals alone would have massively improved Covenant
There's so much potential here we'll never see - proving sometimes that the initial instinct is the best instinct.
I love the idea expanding the lore into the transformations of the engineer but that would've been so out of the alien vibe atmosphere like the horror genres that most would've saw weird and hard to understand since David has dozens of them and probably sorted out by choosing the best sets of eggs that probably satisfied with Davids desires to weaponize or create a perfect specimen as he did in the movie
Concept art just opens so many ideas what could've been, I loved the buildings with the alien look feel. It made it really feel like an Alien movie expanding their franchise and lore.
alien deserve an anime or animated series with this kind of concept for story :/
Paulo Abrahão it was really close to getting one back in the day theres a dew pictures of ir online
I agree, been saying the same thing since the 90s back when i was a really into anime.
Well, then you only equate anime with bright schoolgirl stories and such. Anime, however, has many different art styles and many different ways of story telling. Something darker, like the first Ghost in the Shell anime, both in art style and story telling, would probably be fitting for an Alien type story.
Maybe everyone should start to use the definition of anime as it is used in Japan, where it designates all types of animated movies and series, even those from the west made by the likes of Dreamworks, Disney and Pixar. In Japan, anime is just a shortening of the original English word animation.
Amazing Art, thanks for the upload.
Truly stella art. Much like with Alien 3, this makes you wonder what could've been.
This looks amazing! Havent seen the film yet but this would had been amazing!
Love how his interpretations are realistic to what's being show on screen😂
Can't wait for the Disney's version of alien(s).
Mr. Sarcastic Oh no..
Of COURSE we couldn't have a film closer to this.
That would have been too interesting...
This should be used for a new movie, tbh.
Stunning!
Ridley Scott: “this would make an epic movie, I’ll have none of it!”
Genius video sir! Love every single pixel of the concept art. Liked & subscribed. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Great work man,keep it up!
thanks!
Everything looks amazing, especially the architecture of the city.
Such amazing concept art. If even half of this was in the movie it would have been 100 times better
Great job man ! Its really a shame that alot of these concept arts didn't make it to the big screen.
Amazing artwork, for sure!
davidsirmons That never was..
had a lot of these scenes been on screen, the film would've been awesome, that arcitecture is a nice tip of the hat to giger. NICE
Ridley Scott is going the wrong way... his movies are getting worse the older he gets ... He should have used this concept!! No brainer!!
it wasn't ridley scott's fault. fox forced him to change direction.
xenomorph 12322 Still could have made a better movie but I guess he's lost his edge... not hungry anymore?
"his movies are getting worse the older he gets ... "
Not true. The Martian is one of his greatest works. Maybe you were talking about Alien films? Well, I like both Covenant and Prometheus but I see why some ppl dislike them
irina1296 yeah I liked the Martian I guess I meant Alien... we can all agree Prometheus and Covenant are not up to par with Alien!
the missing link
Like Alien, Blade Runner, Black Rain, Thelma and Louise?
Yeah they're all total shit. Lol 😂
Khang Le designs are amazing! Ridley should have went with Khang Le designs.
Awesome, great stuff!
The only way I can see doing away with these concepts for Covenant is if :
These concepts were intended to be injected into Covenants sequel, where the Planet 4 Engineers were the *original* Engineers that were more human and where this concept art will be the "AI Engineer homeworld" filled with the advanced organic synthetics like the ones we saw in Prometheus and that those Engineers were actually bioengineered genetic perfections (*created* by the Planet 4 Engineers) not unlike David and they have taken on a life of their own over the past billion years. Performing their own experiments throughout the Universe. Leaving the inferior original Engineers on Planet 4.
This explains why the albino Engineer stroked Davids hair before he ripped his head off. For a moment there he encountered a synthetic being like himself and his kind and identified with David.... briefly.
If I was a millionaire I'd fund a movie of just David and his experiments over the time period he was on the planet.
With this concept art I'd figure budget works into what they can and can't do for sure. The city here was a superior concept to the one on film as cool as it was.
Thank you for the video.... Keep up the good work.
Looks like the engineers are wearing pampers.
Ong Wai Kean and you will not 💩 yourself if you live to there? 😁
Looks awesome. That city picture
Fantastick!!
I think the original concept for the movie was about delving into the Engineer's culture and David's experiments, but the studio "knew" the audience wanted the alien so that original draft was scrapped in order to get a more traditional alien death slaughter movie that audiences "wanted" so that new script was greenlit since it featured the alien and disposed of all the original scripts ideas, you get tiny hints of them in Covenant, but originally the sequel was primarily about David's experiments and the Engineer culture. When Prometheus came out, a question came about of "In the next one will we see the Alien?" The reply was "If a sequel is greenlit, it will deviate even further from the alien creature" Seeing Covenant we now know how that turned out.
The Irony is that it's like the studio simplified Alien Covenant, to make it a sure thing at the Box office but it failed to do well. They should just bite the bullet let all the talented writers and artists realise their visions. We could have had a massive better and coherent film.
That was epic. So Geiger, so perfect...
This looks sick!
Really enjoyed the movie, fasbender plays David superbly well, looking forward very much to the next film very much
This is 1000 times better than what covenant gave us. I liked David’s art, and specimens, but a Giger style city vs what they decided to use would have been amazing.
I love these.
KNOW THAT IS WHAT A REAL OTHER WORLDLY CITY LOOKS LIKE. GREAT ART.
It just goes to show the talent is there, stunning concepts by Khang Le, it's a pity not a single person actually involved in the making of the movie, had any idea of the value of this vision. So sad.
When a few pictures tell a better story than 2 films
I've always thought this concept art implied a movie like covenant, but the colonists or whoever arrive mid-outbreak and have to survive in an engineer city while its engulfed in chaos and collapsing, hence the concept art of the faceless reconstructs cowering in the dark, like they would be the more passive but eery background threat contrasting with the non mutated engineers and full teeth gnashing xenomorph-like beings.
And I just love that concept, humans scurrying underfoot as titanic monstrosities and primordial creator beings Duke it out, the corners of the city filled with cowering, helpless beings on the verge of bursting into infection vectors
OMG this is so much better Dx
I liked in the way that shows David taking engineer's technology and had this laboratory where he was working, visually 5:05 it seems a place where you can create a life form, experimenting, doing whatever, in Covenant looks like David created a perfect organism in a cave or something
They are fantastic pieces
I now hate Ridley Scott
scryla2000 i don't know, i blame the studio
Why Ridley? Fox decided that Engineers are not gonna be in the film. And Ridley really wanted to create his vision.
You mean you hate fox. Blame the backlash of Prometheus.. This concept art is obviously for Prometheus 2, but had to skip to Prometheus 3 which is Covenant to introduce xenos sooner rather than later.. and with all the compromising Scott did, he still managed to make a brilliant film expanding the universe.. But at the same time the modern audience doesn’t understand nihilistic views. If these sequels don’t happen, then Alien is officially dead.
i guess you hate alien and the franchise it spawned as well as blade runner.
"Its the fault of the faaaaans!"
T. Some idiot.
Personally, I think it looks much better than what was in the movie.
All the great stuff always stays behind the scenes...
Covenant was alright but watching the story of the engineers slowly turning into the alien would have been a way better story. Movies need to find the same creative balls as the box set tv scene seems to have got.
Furspex how would it have been a story? What's the angle in your opinion? Tell us your version, because I just see concept art.
I saw a lot of concept art and this how like the original story was meant to turn the engineers themselves into the alien using that genetic goo stuff. It wold have been a nightmarish type story like our creators got slowly turned into the weird alien by a disgruntled AI that we mistreat. In the movie they kind of all get murdered and so we never get to see them or their bizarre society. The best bit of the whole movie was in the prologue that was released online featuring the tiny bit you saw of their city. i like Covenant though I think people are being too harsh on it. I'd have liked it to have gone full on creepy and scarey though.
I loved the horror parts actually, I was very pleased to get a cerebral sci fi movie with interesting twists, and also a tense and scary horror film. It's both things I love about Alien. Thing is though, I think that the people on that planet that David killed maybe weren't engineers. They were bald and white, but they were also 5 to 6 feet tall, and wearing crude medieval clothing. Their faces didn't have the puffy, symmetrical, alabaster faces of the regular engineers, they just looked like ordinary people. So we know that the Engineers fly around in their ships and seed planets with life, right? And the only life we know of is humans. So the engineers made humans, who then evolved and grew and developed space travel, but forgot their old alien gods? That might mean that they also created the people we see on that planet. If they had, and they had remained faithful to their alien gods (unlike earth), I would expect to see primitive stone buildings. They might look a bit like greco-roman architecture, without any fancy materials or tech. The people would look like a mix between humans and engineers, and their temples would have giant statues or busts of engineers. Their whole city would be built around a giant round courtyard, and in the center, a landing platform for their gods when they came to visit. (Maybe the landing platform for the alien ships would be the only engineer architecture we saw on that planet) Then, whenever an engineer horseshoe ship comes and lands there, thousands of these people would crowd out of their homes into the courtyard, cheering with their hands up as Zeus descended from Olympus. Imagine the shock on their faces when they realized that they had angered the gods somehow, and instead of gifts, the gods were arriving in wrath. Zues' lightning falls, Pompeii erupts, Pandora's box is flung open, and the four horsemen ride. Their entire civilization across the whole planet is snuffed out in days.
For David 8 is a jealous and a vengeful God.
Furspex It would have been nice to see the Engineers changing into the Alien creature we know of today.
Imagine the Engineers creating this bio-weapon that gets out of hand and slowly/quickly starts infecting the Engineers. They have no answer to stop this from happening. The infection also incorporates the Engineers bio suit into it's own physiology, making it the skin of this new species.
Over time the Engineers die out and in their place the Alien species take their place.
Those concepts were my expectations of the movie.
Good vid!
So ol' Ridley saw all this amazing work and was like "nah... People just want more David!"
Well done. Thoroughly researched and craftily edited. Still have not seen anything after Prometheus but your video makes me want to, spoilers be damned !! David's descent into psychosis seems inevitable now - frustrated because no self-reproduction ability, all he can do is experiment on other, fertile bodies.
They should have included as much as this as they could; put it in the Directors cut.
These look beautiful
all of those ideas and concepts are far superior to what we got in the movie
I love Mr. Lee's artistic style, it reminds me a lot of the Fantasy/Sci Fi art that was popular back in the 1970's. If you are ever at a conic-con and you see copies of 'Creepy' 'Eerie' and/or 'Heavy Metal' magazines, do yourself a favour and buy a few copies. Frank Frazetta did a ton of classic cover illustrations. Also, Roger Dean, the Artist who did many LP covers for the Prog Rock band 'Yes" His work is incredibly funky.
James Cameron ripped off Roger Dean's artwork for Avatar. Dean tried to sue him but failed in court. Best he got was Cameron muttering that he "might" have seen Dean's art during his "dope smoking college days".
Love it
Many intriguing images here. I still love Alien: Covenant but yes, it could have been better. Maybe we will get some of those things in Alien: Awakening?
The hybrid looks like a great white Deacon.
Thanks for sharing - this is the way it should have looked for sure. But as little as these things appear on screen the expense couldn't be justified for a few seconds of film.
Anything and everything here is more interesting than what we got in that movie.
Seeing these pictures alone makes me feel like I've seen a way better film. Being a huge alien fan as is, I was utterly disappointed with A.C
I desperately want to read the screenplay that this concept art is based on
imagine how much work he put into his work
The "different story" being that it was supposed to actually be good.
Khang Le was on to something. More Giger is always better.
Concept art Engineer city looks extravagant. Something that totally comes as super advance civilization.
This is awesome! thank you very much for this video. A much better version than Covenant. I found the David-centric plot (while ignoring all the might mystery of the engineers and Xenomorphs) a little self centred and almost narcissistic. Evil AI, fine, but a whole civilisation and one of the universes most frightening species where completely ignored. I also agree that the systematic ignorance of Giger's artwork and stylistic is both disheartening and self defeating. Giger's work is visceral and hard hitting not simply intended for fear. it's intended to connect with what what we think but don't want to say. Shame we're not seeing more of it in the Alien world. Thanks again for your good work.
This was it, this was i wanted and expected when i went to see Covenant.
I have given up hope, i don't care if Ridley makes Alien Awakening or not, he just ends up ruining them anyway. I hope if there is another movie, he does what he himself really wants and not the Prometheus haters, or i hope someone else does it, someone with respect for the franchise who won't turn it into shit.
that few minutes was 100 times better than the last 2 movies
