The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Interesting. Considering the first film was called Paradise throughout most of production, I'll believe it when I see the promo posters.

Adding "Alien" to the title seems kind of insulting, considering Ridley Scott kept saying that his Prometheus series was not supposed to be related to the Alien series. But then after all the hype with Blomkamp's proposed Alien 5, RS suddenly adds "Alien" to it.

I like Covenant better than Paradise Lost honestly, but I am hearing folks getting stuck on Halo like that is their only point of reference for that word.

Halo has been around in pop culture for 15 odd years or so now. It's pretty ingrained - I'm the same. I think Halo whenever I heard Covenant. I like Paradise Lost myself. It was (obviously) poetic and sounded like the kind of pretentiousness they might want to go for.

If it was titled Alien: Halo I'd agree. It's like saying the Exorcist prequel couldn't be called Dominion because of Star Trek Deep Space Nine using that word for their bad guys.

I'm not saying it's just because. But when you say Covenant, people will generally think Halo. Not everyone, I'm sure, but most people would as we've seen being said. I can't fault them for thinking that.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS -- and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world -- whose sole inhabitant is the "synthetic" David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

That... actually kind of sounds interesting. Not holding my breath though. So the "Covenant" title is the confirmed title?

I do like that it's keeping the "tradition" of naming the film after the ship.

I'm expecting to see Prometheus rebranded as Alien: Prometheus. That said, I've been expecting that since Paradise Lost.

I don't think they'd go that far. :P

Only those who are into computer games (and have an Xbox).
I suspect most people would, as I did, think either God (who has been in popular culture for several thousand odd years), or something like Indiana Jones.

Even Halo is not that big, being also a Beyonce song, a furniture maker and basically skydiving.

I find it hilarious that the xeno will be in Covenant after all of Scott's insistence that that Prometheus was a separate universe. I had no intrest to see it before, but now I'll probably end up seeing it now for some modern xeno action :c
