Reports have it that “The Martian” is actually one of the best all-time great films in Scott’s filmography.
The first batch of pictures about “Alien: Covenant” went online last month and it revealed a dark and dystopian future for the movie including some creepy ashy beings.
The Alien Anthology Twitter account also posted a photo showing David 8, the synthetic android, being whole again. The android is being played by actor Michael Fassbender, who is more popular these days in moviedom for his portrayal of the younger Magneto in the latest “X-Men” film trilogy.
In “Prometheus,” David 8 parted with his head which will be corrected in the upcoming film.
The synthetic David 8 represents the eighth generation of cybernetic being or artificial persons from the menacing Weyland Industries. The first synthetics were hulking robots used mainly for police and private security purposes. David 8, like the later models, is meant for more advanced purposes and more human in appearance.
David 8 appears almost human and actually has a revolutionary 99% emotional sensitivity level built in his program. He became an invaluable help to Elizabeth Shaw in her escape from the site and the Engineer, where he actually lose his head during the pivotal scene near the end of “Prometheus.”
