He did listen to the criticism, if you like, of [Prometheus] and people wanted more aliens. The other thing as well is that certain studios want to make a certain movie, and sometimes your hands are tied for horror. If you’re making it for a PG-13 or 15, your hands are tied to give proper horrors. But when the gloves are off and it’s 18 or R-rated, then you can make the movie exactly what you want — with more aliens. He listened to the audience, that they want more aliens — they’re gonna get a lot more aliens. More than they probably anticipated.
how many minutes of screen-time did the creatures get in Alien?
It shouldn’t have really ended, so we’ve come back with a very simple idea. Who made them? No one ever asked that question. [Alien] was just about there it is; it exists. And this is what it is. Seven guys and gals in a steel hull. Frankly, the very old idea of The Old Dark House. Who’s gonna die next? The fundamental basis of Alien was a pretty old B-movie, but because of the cast and talent involved it came out an A+ movie. So we’ve reinvented the idea of Alien, I think, which is that Covenant gets us a step closer to who and why was this thing designed to make human beings.And if you think it’s them [the Engineers], you’re dead wrong.

OK wait this is surprising:

huh? make human beings?
Fuck yes, I'm back on board! At least unless this is just a half ass attempt to pander to the Prometheus story...
It does sound like lots of engineer shit, though, or maybe it's all just a ruse: http://collider.com/alien-covenant-engi ... onnection/
Probably won't see Elizabeth and David until the last 5 minutes.
wait - you didn't watch the prologue? you must
(first watch the extended ending of prometheus if you haven't see it in a while)
my blackout exceptions are granted for content that isn't in the movie, which is what I thought this was - but now I'm realizing this is probably in the movie?
no regret at all - I'd totally given up hope for seeing what shaw & david were up to
thanks for helping me remain vigilant, and glad to hear there's anything to look forward to
