Ridley Scott Confirms ALIEN AWAKENING with Shocking Plot Details

It depends on the franchise tbh

Exactly I still can't believe people green lit the skeleton crew series omg I hate seeing that trailer everywhere 😅

[@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

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.

@@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).

Instead of making the follow up to Prometheus, Ridley Scott had to cater to the fans and make sure the Xenomorphs were in the movie. But i have always wanted to know what became of David and how he was able to make his Queen. I seriously hope that Ridley Scott is able to make Alien Awakening before he passes.

completely agree with you, but you should know that it wasn't Scott who wanted the fan service stuff, fox made him change the story. Original story was gonna have Shaw in it.

@@RingoLoadagain Oh yeah, thats what i mean to say. Fans whined a lot about not seeing the xenomorph in Prometheus, and as a result Fox got all up in Ridley Scotts business and made him add the xenomorph, which screwed up the story. I know that the prequels weren't that popular, but i loved Prometheus. Fasbender is such an amazing actor and he did amazing as David. I wanted to see that whole story play out. But nooooo. Fox just had to do what they always do and screwed it all up. I really hope that we are able to get the conclusion of Davids story before Ridley passes away.

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.

[@morelenmir]

The referencing of 'Romulus' is deeper than just the wolf image. Romulus and Remus were brothers cast out form their rightful home but kept alive by a female wolf. Romulus then eventually fell out with his brother and killed him, after which he founded Ancient Rome. There is a lot of imagery there that can be tied back to aspects of the Alien mythology. Personally I do not like the retconning of the Xenomorphs into being recent creations. In my mind they are strongest when the implication is the wreck on LV426 is truly ancient, having sat for perhaps hundreds of thousands of years before Ripley's crew disturbed it. The suggestion they have only been around for less than a century take something away form their mystery and horror.

​@@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.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="270">4:30</a> Oh, great.. The one who destroyed Alien: Paradise is writing the script for Awakening.. Sounds promising.

[@generalnawaki]

I really hope Awakening happens, I don't like the main line Alien movies but Prometheus and Covenant I do like.

@@Raiderhater-m7k please enjoy never using your brain and watching a xenomorph kill boring characters over and over in the same three ways for the remainder of the franchise.

kroft is like a robot who does his job regardless of what happens in the world and he cannot be stopped. you're the real david 🙏

[@ContentViking]

Right I'm going to be negative and predict its gonna be a let down. If I'm wrong I will come back here and I vow to do a thousand pushups. (Over 3 days).

[@squicker]

It'll absolutely be a letdown. Until they remove Scott entirely from the franchise, it'll be wedded to the crappy 'engineer' plot, which is basically a hammy 'Chariots of the Gods' type of gibberish.

[@ContentViking]

@squicker he's woke. Wokeness destroys the mind and retards the creativity.

Tony Stark has 16 years to prepare and can only help 15,000 people escape??

[@richards3192]

Anybody who trusts Ridley Scott and Disney to deliver a satisfactory sequel to the absolute bilge that is Prom and Covnt needs a head examination. I laughed out loud at Scott's statement that they were 'too intellectual'.

[@alltheflavors9673]

They are either dumb or pr astroturfers. The thing is, people went to the theaters and Romulus made money, a small bit but that's it they are going to do stupid movies for stupid people fans be damned.

[@johnterpack3940]

I wonder if Ridley has ever seen the original.

[@DeezMatterz]

Keep Cooking Kroft. Your follow-through into the Marvel release really appeals. What an awesome 'True to Verse' Telling. The Big Wigs need a listen to this Channel, or failing that...just listen to the very Fandom, who would ensure your Profits

[@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.

[@sourabhkarmakar8040]

David meeting Tony Stark, Tony asked "Magneto what are you doing here" 😂

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

We haven't all been waiting for a new Ridley Scott Alien prequel! Prequels were an insult to an audience.

[@rexcassidy]

Spoiler alert everything might not be made just for you. How were those movies an “insult” to an audience? I thought the story arc was friggen brilliant and was bummed I wouldn’t get to see where that story went because of crybaby morons.

The wolf is in reference to the founding of Rome. Brothers Romulus and Remus were raised by a wolf then went on to found Rome.

[@printing.y.papeleria]

As much as I like Romulus I found it lacking the mysticism of the Prometeus arc, with Prometeus Ridley Scott created a mitology that trancends the xenomorph and make us wanting to dive on it

[@weeverob]

Instead of an occasional film with years in between, the franchise should be a many hour series

[@PaulRGauthier]

You're not going to get Awakenings as it was envisioned in 2017. No chance, sorry. However, it does look like the next film will involve the Engineers and very likely David and Daniels. We need the loose ends from Prometheus and Covenant tied up. But I hope it's written better than all those prequels. I'd like some decent dialogue and characters who feel like real people and not mere plot devices.

[@genx7006]

Yeah, I hope the Engineers aren't just slapped into the film, spouting corny dialog. There are so many ways it can go wrong.

[@JimWhelan]

Kroft thank you. Also: 1) Sir Ridley is 84 2) Raised By Wolves ? 3) space jockey size vs engineers ≠ same

[@robbarnes3507]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="780">13:00</a> Please keep in mind that David is both disingenuous and deceptive due to his massive ego and therefore an unreliable narrator IMO.

[@Huck666]

I love the Alien universe. I hope Uncle Ridley Scott concludes this universe in a magnificent way. I'd love to see David's fate and the Engineers again. I've been waiting for Alien: Awakening for years, honestly. Hail David! "No one understands the lonely perfection of my dreams. I've found perfection here. I've created it.
