Adam Savage Explores David's Lair in Alien: Covenant

Ғылым және технология

We're behind the scenes during the production of Alien: Covenant, where we step inside the elaborate set created for David's lair. Adam explores the details of this densely dressed set, packed with props and beautiful artwork that we only glimpsed on screen. The amount of work put into this laboratory of horrors is incredible!

    David's Lair was one of my favorite parts about Covenant. The thought that a robot us humans created, was on another planet, exploring, researching, and thinking out of it's own curiosity, was simply astounding. It immersed me into his world, and made me wish I could spend hours in his lab, observing everything he has collected and researched after all those years.

    I love all the details and textures and imagery that goes into this. Clearly everything has been thoughtfully chosen by Ridley and the creative team at 20th Century Fox, from the color scheme of the chamber to the particular handwriting on each insect specimen backing. Pity it all is taken down after photography ends; there ought to be a "Hollywood Museum of Sets", where really interesting and striking ones are saved for posterity so that the film is not all we have left of the room/setting.

Unless David created the entire room himself (carved it out) but the age and patina of the place makes that scenario seem unlikely. Perhaps a flaw in logic on the filmmakers' part...? Amazing set decor, though!

    The movie made over twice its budget, it just wasn't as much as Fox hoped it would make. In comparison, Prometheus made over three times its budget, while still costing 30 mill more to make then Covenant. I think we'll see a sequel to Covenant, with a smaller budget, and the success of that movie will determine whether we'll see any more.

I think those who say the film is bad havent spent enough time thinking about the film and Prometheus. People who just want to watch a great 2 hour stand alone film probably wont work out Covenant.
