And, now, Shane Black, who has been developing a new sequel that promises to properly continue the original story, has let out that he intends to expand on some of the concepts from the original. It’s not to ‘improve,’ it’s make it fun, make it different, make it organically different. So what’s the extension of it that makes sense, that’s exciting? There have been…

Next up people were displeased with Isaac’s supposedly normal voice in the first teaser – a result of, again, incomplete post production work. Director Bryan Singer had this…

The first official still for Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott’s sequel to Prometheus, has been released. Although not much, the picture still has a lot to say. The image depicts a patch with “Weyland-Yutani” beneath a symbol that resembles quite a bit of the Egyptian-style Weyland-Yutani logo from the original Alien. To go along with this Egyptian theme, as well as the title “Covenant”, the patch seems to depict a sort of “Ark of the Covenant”. This fits in with the plot of both Alien and Prometheus, concerning explorers of deep space who interact with things they shouldn’t. The synopsis of…
