Scott how Covenant would separate itself from PROMETHEUS:It's beginning to answer the who and why. It's definitely gorier, and smarter. And [Covenant] starts to answer the who and why."
Scott on if Noomi Rapace will return:
"Yes, in a way. Not fully, but in a way. She was integral to what David carried out later."
It seems right about here, Katherine Waterston felt that Mr. Scott was in danger of possibly giving too much away. So she jumped in with:
"You'll see! There are certain things you don't want to know. You don't want to know that!"
Hahahaha. This interview is great. Moving on, Ridley Scott then goes one to talk about how many more ALIEN movies there will be, and basically gives away the title of the next film:
"There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien. It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant.. fairly integral where this colonization ship is on the way...."
Cue Waterston jumping in again to save Ridley from himself:
"You're giving away too much! But yes, there will be more after this. I think that was the question."
To which Scott replied:
"If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more."
I have no idea. Looks that way... doesn't make sense yet, though.
My main problem so far is that where the aliens come from and who these Engineers are seems to be the focal point of these movies. But why do we need all this exposition. Especially if the story itself doesn't seem to be the most important thing. It kinda looks done-before.
Apparently there's some new still of Daniels...
