Ridley Scott Confirms ALIEN AWAKENING with Shocking Plot Details

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

I always felt that the Prometheus film held immense philosophical potential regarding the meaning of existence and life. Shaw, a believer in God, is unable to have children. Weyland sees himself as equal to the gods, having created David. David, in turn, questions his creator and looks down upon them. Later, the Engineer kills Weyland, offended by his audacity to compare himself to their kind. As I understood it, the original plan for Covenant was to take a very different narrative path than what we eventually got. The idea was that David would deceive Shaw into becoming the host for his version of the Alien Queen, thus completing the cycle. David, a creation of humanity, would enable an infertile woman to become the mother of the "perfect organism."

[@EbonyPope]

That is not profound. That is on the level of a 4 yo who thinks he is deep. The engineers was the worst decisions ever. He turned a horrifying being into a big blue bodybuilder??? That is laughable not scary. Some things are better left unexplained. Thanks Ridles for destroying that franchise.

[@mtspace77]

@@EbonyPope The whole "Jesus was an Engineer" thing is up there with The history Channel's "aliens built the pyramids" as far as "philosophy" goes. I have zero interest Davids delusions of grandeur/Pinocchio story, and loathe the way Ridley turned the Space Jockey from something showing how humanity is but one species of countless others out there, too "The Engineers created us and the Xenomorph" If we go by the Prometheus story then they are no Aliens in the "Alien" franchise, just the Engineers and their experiments.

Prometheus made me appreciate the entire series, I saw AVP as a kid and thought it was a cool Sci-Fi movie but Ridley Scott really knocked it out the park with his newest stuff. Prey was a great movie too IMO

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

SAME. After Prometheus, I went from a huge Alien fan, to a fanatic addict fan. Any comic, game, board game, or even fan film .... Im right there!😊

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

​@@GamingDude360 I LOVED AVP 2. campy and too far out to be a classic, but it was FUN! action, fun, funny at times, and very original! AVP1 was boring n I rarely watch it anymore, but it's still a C- in my book. Alien 4 was a good fun romp too. Covenant, Scott has his hands tied,n couldn't do what he wanted, so we got a mismatched film of Alien and Prometheus 2. Not original, but a C+. Alien 3... It was something very original, something different. In a franchise you have to do these 1 off, crazy, Campy , Crossovers sometimes. U have to " cleanse the pallet" betweens meal courses with water. I just which Disney would make these all canon somehow. Even just very loosely. Just to satisfy us die hards

[@Cashrock]

Prometheus though well filmed is terrible, I had a hard time not walking out of the cinema, it's full of people making the most ridiculous decisions and that's what moves the plot along, terrible movie that destroys the mystique of the alien's origin with some 2 bit story of the engineers/David.

Alien 5 has been dead so long..it never really got far anyways it was jus a pipe dream and thus alien awakening is also not happening covenant flopped and most ppl hated where the story was going..thats why we never got the follow up to covenant...and it's not like it gained any cult following or aged wel...it's still a shit movie that almost killed the franchise..wel technically it did but this franchise has so much fans that wants it to do wel they still got a chance with romulus which did wel. But who tf will continue a story(covenant) that almost destroyed the franchise.. Make it make sense

[@JoeSoto-e6i]

I still don't understand why they never went forward with Neil blomkamp's version

[@sarrjel]

@@JoeSoto-e6i I’m pretty sure 20th Century Studio could talk Sigourney Weaver into coming back and use a stunt double, cgi and de-aging to make a 2 hour movie. Weaver didn’t want to come back to Alien Resurection but Fox paid her 11 million dollars to come back for that. Neil Blomkamp doesn’t have to come back as director. They could hire a different director and have him as executive producer.

Ridley Scott should stop making movies.... too old and he only repeats his "new" movies or they are just not good as his older movies. :D I mean Gladiator 2... same movie different actors XD napoleon wasn't really good too.. yeah and now this alien move ^^ but well i know that we all have individual tastes, otherwise it would be very boring

[@shrine.project]

@@marcelmarwig5134 I get your point, but Romulus made a tremendous damage to the Alien lore, worse than Covenant. The original Alien movie was so scary because it was believable, everything in it was believable, the actions of the crew members, the gestation and growth time frames of the Xenomorph, etc. Romulus introduced some utterly ridiculous ideas, like a Xenomorph that can survive in outer space forever be cocooning itself in stone, give me a break, the only thing more ridiculous than this is Scott's original idea of Alien's ending where the Xenomorph speaks with human voice in plain English (fortunately FOX said "no" to that ending).

The only thing I want from a future Alien movie is to see Engineers again. To be honest Romulus was great. *EDIT for the next people, who might interpret my remark regarding "Alien: Romulus" wrongly: Romulus was done in a way to match into Ridley Scott's Alien timeline and not contradict future plans of his. As far as I'm concerned, that's enough. Not to ignore the obvious fact that it actually drew much inspiration from the original Alien's plots, characters and environments. You could feel that it's taking place in the same universe, while all of the other Alien movies coupled with the Predator crossfires make no sense, with enormous amount of plot holes and were totally oblivious to Ridley's vision. So yeah, when I say it was great, that's just my informed and well-considered opinion. Prometheus was Ridley's redemption and ressurection of this mindlessly directed franchise. Romulus doesn't get in his way and also establishes clear connections with his plotline, while telling another story - the story of Rain.

The wolf suckling two babies is one of the most iconic symbols from the Roman myth of Remus and Romulus. The station in the movie is two parts, “Remus” and “Romulus”.

Like any good parasite, Ridley Scott is leaching the success of Fede Alvarez' Alien Romulus to finish his atrocious Prometheus trilogy of terribad. Too, your comment that "Disney actively listens to the fanbase and their opinions" is absolute rubbish. Too, Ridley Scott _never_ had _any_ IP rights to the Alien Franchise because he didn't create it!

[@rj5485]

Convenant and Prometheus are my favorites, next to Alien and Aliens!

[@Thomas-VA]

meh, ridley does not read the room, fell in with the mystery box kind of writers and left importance on the cutting room floor.

[@Allexstrasza]

4:30 Oh, great.. The one who destroyed Alien: Paradise is writing the script for Awakening.. Sounds promising.

[@chelotobar5258]

I was starting to loose hope, my heart broken that Ridley couldn’t finish the trilogy… but all of these little pieces, they make it feel like there’s still a chance! I need to see the conclusion to David’s story!

[@jonathanulery1610]

I watched Alien Romulus today and was very satisfied with the entire production definitely worth watching....

[@robbarnes3507]

13:00 Please keep in mind that David is both disingenuous and deceptive due to his massive ego and therefore an unreliable narrator IMO.

[@TELLViSiON]

What's the music in the background, is it on Spotify ?

[@geester]

Atlantis by Audionautix, its in the video caption. Its on Soundcloud.

[@itubeutubewealltube1]

ok, you have lost all credibility with me for bringing that stupid corporate marvel comic book into the discussion... I thought you were serious about this topic.. geez

[@gqueirogabr]

It would be an awesome twist if the prometheus series of movies was actually David's story all along. Surviving through the years and cultivating the xenonorphs 😮

[@milrtp101]

The last time Ridley Scott did any good for the Alien franchise, it was 1979

[@Borsalino-g3p]

Will engineers appear in this new movie? And when will it be released?

[@MrRiley-Is-Not-Amused]

You lost me at "Disney actively listens to the fans". Quite literally the stupidest thing I've heard all week.

[@johnterpack3940]

On the small scale, he's right. Rey ended up a Palpatine because "fans" demanded to know who her daddy was even though the first two films said it didn't matter. Snoke's origin, the source of Rey's "excessive" power, Kylo's redemption "arc", "Rey-Lo"... all of that stuff was all the various Star Wars KZbin channels talked about. Disney thought they'd make the most popular movie ever if they gave the "fans" everything they were screaming for. Turns out, you can't write a good movie via social media.

[@captnwinkle]

​@@johnterpack3940 not because they listened to the fans. They didn't and then they lost money so they tried to pick up the pieces. Don't be such a mediocre

[@Skanking-Corpse]

@@johnterpack3940The Force Awakens never said Reys parentage wasn't important, it actually set up that it was. The Last Jedi though decided it wasn't important, and the fan backlash was because that went contrary to TFA's setup. Rey at that point was so unpopular she needed something more than bland orphan wannabe jedi as a character, but they went out a choose the stupidest idea for what they could have done.

[@aejokerDa]

Yes I want a sequel for both films. Do you imagine one movie at May, and another for Halloween. ❤❤

[@akula9713]

Honestly I thought Romulus was crap.

[@DudeyRhino]

Cool 👍🏼

[@Rschr101]

It was

[@Elrealconde]

Ridley Scott keeping this channel alive is wild

[@rexcassidy]

F all these haters Scott’s vision is simply far beyond all these whiners who just want cookie cutter alien films over and over again. I hope he makes it. Sometimes you need to have a bit of creativity and imagination to see the value of other artists creations.

[@wolfgangrecordings]

shame his "vision" doesn't involve well-written films that feature compelling characters. he needs to leave well alone

[@EricCaron-o9z]

Please!! Finish the"Covenant Cliffhanger" ..... fine let the bedbugs bite!! .....i loved the direction Ridley was going with the "David AI" please do ALIEN AWAKENING!!!!
