This Modernized ‘Alien’ Trailer Was Inspired By the ‘Alien: Covenant’ Trailer
It’s always interesting when fans cut together their own trailers for movies, and a common trend in that arena is the trailers for films from the past being modernized. What would the trailer for a movie like Alien, for example, look like if the movie was coming out in 2017? More specifically, what would the ’79 Alien trailer look like if cut in the style of this year’s Alien: Covenant?
Fan Ben Cannell imagines such a trailer with this fun edit, which places music and even dialogue from the Alien: Covenant trailer over top of visuals from Ridley Scott’s original. Not surprisingly, given how familiar Alien: Covenant feels, the trailers blend together seamlessly. Put into this context, you realize just how much Scott nailed the Alien vibe with his latest prequel.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
