(UPDATED with HD Scans) Alien: Covenant Empire Magazine Scans Leaked! (SPOILERS)

(UPDATED with HD Scans) Alien: Covenant Empire Magazine Scans Leaked! (SPOILERS)

UPDATE: A batch of HIGH quality scans of the upcoming Empire Magazine Alien: Covenant issue have been shared online! The scans themselves reveal a lot about the Covenant mission and we get a significant number of exciting new shots and images from the film!

Special thanks to forum member Qubism, we now have a plethora of HD Scans and cropped photos from the issue!

We get to see David, who sports somewhat of a mad scientist look, we get a look at a baby new Alien, a grown Neomorph and.... Humanoid creatures! No, we're not saying Engineers, because they look a little different to the Engineers. Check them out:

300dpi Scans

Scans removed at request of Empire Magazine

The Neo attack looks beyond vicious

The goo bombardment is just a shot to behold, pure evil

It's looking super gory, scary, and cool. I am beyond excited for this movie. Although I'am betting some annoying people are going to complain on social media because of the violence. It's ridiculous though because that's a key element to the alien universe. Back in the late 70's when a Xeno burst out of Kane's chest people freaked out but the internet didn't exist. That allowed that moment to become iconic and trolls couldn't destroy it. Word of mouth and the press made that scene spread like wildfire. I'm not saying that the complaints AC is gonna get will alter the movie in any way because that's impossible since it's finished. But I fear some will be really annoying about the gore and possibly diminish the super scary, violent scenes by ripping them apart (pun intended). People who come riding in on high horses drive me crazy. I don't know if what I'm trying to say makes sense but I hope AC is received in the way it was intended and the morality police stay quite. I think Ridley didn't pull any punches when he made this. He knows how crazy fans (us) are and I believe he is going to give us the movie we want and deserve.

While I looked through the pics I noticed something: 

Thus far the proto's teeth were rather human like in the stills and shots.

In this shot (Empire) however the proto/xeno has pointy teeth. Does this mean there's more than one chap on the loose?

I told myself not to read this post.....I couldn't help myself.  All the "spoiler" tagged stuff so far has been somewhat opinion related and theory based, but this is the first real spoiler i have come across.  Yes, the screening (at SXSW ?) described the dropping of canisters on a hapless crowd of pale skinned people, but to actually see the image....wow.  I had to sit down after i read all this this and squinted all through the text. 

Cant wait for this film, but this is the last Spoiler tagged post I dare read.  It will be hard not to peak, but its like waiting for Christmas as a child, knowing that the large box in your parents closet is your gift, and not going to look when your parents are out of the house! 

I live in San Francisco, and when i went down to the BART station (our local train system) the entire station was covered in HUGE alien covenant posters.  The hype is real. Now to get me one of those posters.....

I'm so wondering about what that large scorpion tail like structure is hanging over the city.

Good spot @Tiwaz! Indeed, the teeth are different. And it looks more like the Runner Alien after it birthed rather than a Chestburster. This may be a completely different Alien. Perhaps one born from an Engineer?! 

When I lightened up the photo it also looks like this Alien has... Eyes? Check it out:

That scorpion thinghy at closer inspection looks also like some variant of wishbone type craft, doesn't it? It is only closer whilst the jugger is farther away.

Necronm IV,

The leak from the SXSW screening described another ship that "entangled" with the Juggernaut.  I really don´t get the reason for this.  The well with the four sculptures is an hangar, and seems to be opening, maybe waiting for the Juggernaut to land _ but it never lands there.  What I suppose here is that after realizing the hostile intention of the people onboard the Juggernaut, maybe the guys (they´re definitely not Engineers) try to destroy or at least force the Juggernaut outside the limits of the city.  Probably this another ship plays a role in this action.

That other craft most likely causes the Juggernaut with David on it to crash.

Whoever runs this site is pretty classless as these images were stolen from another Alien fansite (AVPGalaxy). This is not cool. 

Now, I am not a representative of that forum, but I did happen to see the news they posted very early in the morning today, only to see the news posted here a little later without giving proper credit. 

If you're going to post these images without giving credit that is not cool. Passing someone else's work as your own is simply dishonest. Give credit to the original poster.

@Chris maybe it's just a light spot/reflection. Then again, Giger had some xeno concepts with eyes Who knows...

The ampule bomb scene looks devastating.

The humanoids resemble Engineers more than they resemble humans but they still look a bit off compared to the awakened Engineer in Prometheus. Maybe these beings are "middle aged" compared to the young sacrifical Engineer and the awakened one vs the Elder Engineers? Or are they an "in between" stage and one of the "evolutions" of humanoids that was mentioned here?

This phrase is quite interesting: 

David witnessed a cycle of creation in Prometheus - Engineers, humans and synthetics - and saw his own creator destroyed. The obvious next step is to create life of his own to complete the circle.

That and along with David's phrase from Prometheus:

"Doesn’t everyone want their parents dead"

What could that cycle mean for David? Could this mean that David's creations will also destroy him or does his concept of "life" of "perfection" mean he intends creation to stop there and that he cannot be destroyed and effectively be at the top of the creation scale?

Very excited about this film.

@centrosphere, re the 2nd ship I think you are right. It may also be that the hangar doors are closing and that ship left off from there. I think though these beings are same as the engineer ones, at least same caste as we see in beg of Prometheus.

Wow! This looks incredible! EPIC! In every sense of the word. Great article too! I particularly liked the 2nd or 3rd to last paragraph when John Logan is quoted as saying that he promises "different mutations" of the alien will come in the next two instalments in the franchises prequel series of films. I am so fucking stoked for this film. I wish I lived in the UK so I could see it sooner. Damn! It looks worth the wait though! Psyched!

I don't mean to be disrespectful to other forum members here, but the Alien community tends to be pretty respectful. It seems unnecessary to do is all especially when AVP always cites the data they used from other sites (they don't always have the scoops and that is cool, too).

Necronom IV,

 

Re: the ship.  I considered that, but the geometry of the scene seems wrong, the other ship seems to be coming from another direction...but well, I think only a new trailer or the movie itself will clear that.

Re: the beings.  As someone else said, they looks more like the Engineer than human, but nothwithstanding that they differs of the Engineer race in important ways.  The Engineers look statuesque and don´t differ very much one from another (I´m not counting the elder engineers in Prometheus, since they didn´t make it to the film).  These guys show a lot of differentiation between them: some are tall, some seems more thick, etc.  They are not statuesque, and, although the definition of the photo is low, the eyes look wrong: both Engineers we know from Prometheus doesn´t have the sclera, or white of the eye.  These guys there seems to have it, but we will only be sure when some photos with a better resolution emerge.

I can see where you are coming from and i hope you do come and pay a visit more rather than just to join to say what has been done wrong... i can understand what your points are.

I will always give Credit if i come across anything from other sites and post to here, but i dont frequently look at the AVPGalaxy site  but if i did see something interesting on there that has not been posted here i make sure i mention i spotted it from AVPGalaxy or which ever source i saw it.

As far as the Scans it was very good of the person who was on AVP to upload them, they indeed do provide some very interesting information and shots.

As far as those beings are concerned i think they are connected to the Engineers, but then so are we Mankind.

I notice they lack the Polish of the Engineers but in Prometheus a lot of Gloss work was added to them in the SPFX department as far as those who touch up the Scenes.

Maybe the Theatrical Cut they would be more Polished, i hope its not a oversight or being lazy, but then i guess it could be costly to go to the same effort as they did in Prometheus with some Prospectics for a short Shot that will only show these beings this close for a matter of seconds.

They did put more effort into the Elders in Prometheus which was cut, but only as far as a handful the other handful in the back ground they did not put as much detail into them as they was distant shots.

Who knows maybe these beings are a somewhat missing link between Engineers and Humans?

The Hall of Heads seems to reflect the Elders from Prometheus more, and we need to remember the Engineer in Prometheus said he came from Paradise, so we need to ask is this Planet Paradise?  I would assume it logically would be as i cant see why David would take Shaw any place else.

We need to maybe look in context to Paradise Lost and remember Paradise was where Civilization of Early Mankind Began.  And so Adam and Eve but we dont have to look at it too literally just as we cant look at there being ONE God in context to the Franchise.

Ridley Scott said the Engineers were Fallen Angels and we need to maybe consider, are those Engineers in Prometheus thus a Fallen Sect of Angels who was tasked with watching over Creation on Paradise as this is the Role the Cherubim Angels was tasked with in part in the Bible and that was to Guard the Garden of Eden on Paradise.

These Cherubim are also on the Arc of the Covenant and thus also the Covenant Badges, now if the LV-223 Engineers were indeed Cherubim who was tasked to watch over creation and Civilization on Paradise then Technically they could say they came from Paradise without having to be 100% Genetically related to those beings on Paradise.

Well the magazine is out there and my original quickie snaps from my relic Nokia 1020 were on the comments of the news piece before these images so it's not like there is only one source of pics of a national magazine on the whole bloody internet and this site just swiped them.

I've been here since before Prometheus and now my feet hurt, so shut up moaning, moaners.

Stay classy Sandiego (Spanish for "Whale's Vagina" according to reliable source Ron Burgundy - honestly no one credited the Stay Classy quote and I am OUTRAGED...... seriously, chill the fuck out everyone)  

2000 years ago some bloke said "Why can't we all just be nice to each other?"  I'd go along with that...... but then some idiots nailed him to a tree.  You all know what happened next.

Happy Easter

Indeed that can always happen one person scans stuff and then it spreads all over the place in various forms, just like those Alien Covenant set Props leaked by SO IS IT ANY GOOD Website

I want to personally Thank You Qubism for your time and Effort in Scanning those Pages for us all.  Cheers.

Never had the Magazine at my local Shop and had busy day, so Tuesday i will pop to my nearest Large Chain Supermarket and Grab me a Copy, if not i have to go try some other places.
