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.
