BREAKING: Official Poster and New Release Date for Alien: Covenant Revealed!

BREAKING: Official Poster and New Release Date for Alien: Covenant Revealed!

20th Century Fox have just released a new poster for Alien: Covenant - with the tagline "run". However, the date on the poster reads May 19th, 2017, which means the release date has moved up from its original August 4th, 2017 release date slot! This is extremely exciting news. The poster itself features a very blatant tease of a Xenomorph, not as cryptic as Prometheus' poster was. Check it out:

Looks like numbers to me... 148, 19 etc., but I can be wrong.

I think it is just the lighting of it making it seem like there is something there but there is not.

We should then see a trailer within a few days. A teaser that is at least a minute and some seconds.

This Alien has a more rough look to him, not as smooth as the original in Alien 79.

I also love the teeth. They are definitely different from the "conventional" look.

Most likely came from that of a poor unsuspecting crew member...

LORD TYRANT - Your platform seems to be malfunctioning. What were you attempting to convey? :)

I just shared a topic with a lightened version of the poster, here. There's something under the Xenomorph, but it's not a rib cage.

I think that is just the body that is out of focus...seems to have a different skeletal design then the 79 version. Maybe its Shaw.

Just now saw this!  Very exciting news! I have to say I'm somewhat surprised by the approach they're taking with this poster release.  Much more direct and to the point compared to the original Alien poster and Prometheus which were more ambiguous and had the aura of mystery surrounding them.

Seems like the marketing for this is very much going against the way Ridley wanted to keep the monster in the dark and not fully shown in the original.  However, it has been 30+years I figure they aren't going to beat around the bush on what this movie is about. 

Regardless, I'm very excited to see the release date moved up to May!! Early Christmas indeed!!!

I have yet to see an official website though I imagine they will commission one soon or it be nice if they update the Weyland site to include Yutani and an invite to join a colony ship to find a new planet.

I too am surprised they decided to show the Alien, blatantly. I would have expected them to keep at least some of the creature reveals a secret. It's also very clearly the iconic Xenomorph. Not the Neomorph, or any other version we may see in the film.

So much for "the beast is done, it's cooked" eh, Ridley? Hahaha

CHRIS PICARD - I believe Sir Scott was just a bit down when he made that statement - perhaps from seeing Alien vs. Predator. ;)

We have yet to see the rest of the creatures and the demise of the engineers and Shaw's fate. Plenty to ponder about. 

 

 

We so need a trailer

Thanks Something Real!  Yeah I found it one day and for some reason was entranced by Bill Paxton's goofy mug.  Love that guy! Lol

@Chris, I thought the same exact thing.  Beast is cooked!  I think he had a sudden change of heart.

The trailer is definitely inbound soon, however I have yet to see it announced on any classification websites. I'm keeping an eye out, though!

HUDSON25 - Hahaha! Is that image not of the moment in which Hudson asks "How do I get out of this chickenshit operation?"? :)

@Something Real-It is indeed!  Lol

Thanks for the updates as usual Chris!  Will definitely keep my eyes peeled for the upcoming trailer!

@David007-Ditto! Can't wait to begin the theorizing and deconstruction of the new trailer when it arrives!

Hmm..I wonder if it would be a safe wager to assume that we might get a trailer tomorrow for Thanksgiving...? :)

I wonder since there are multiple football games on tomorrow for Thanksgiving that we might get a trailer. It's a good marketing day for it.
