Read our reactions to footage for Fox’s Logan, Alien: Covenant and more!

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Outside of DEADPOOL Fox didn’t exactly have a banner year in 2016. Their X-MEN follow-up, X-MEN: APOCALYPSE failed to live up to expectations, and their other major hopeful, INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE, fared even worse.  But next year will give them some bounce-back opportunities, with movies like WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, LOGAN and ALIEN: COVENANT on the way. Of those flicks, our own Paul Shirey got a chance to see some footage from these flicks, and though he’s being threatened with death by shark pit if he gives too much away, he was able to rattle off a few reaction tweets, which you can see below!

For APES, and you can read about our set visit here!:

Apes more organized, on horses, and with homemade weapons. Also spotted: Albino Ape! Very cool.

Saw a clip of human soldiers (with ape spies on their side) setting an ambush. Full on battle ensues with lots of dead apes/humans.

Opening battle is very cool. More akin to the end of the last film, taken to the next level. Definitely “at war” here. #WarofApes @joblocom

A great mystery is a big part of #WarofApes as per Matt Reeves @joblocom

Just saw trailer for War of the Planet of the Apes. I think everyone will be happy. Looks bigger and better than ever #WarofApes @joblocom

For ALIEN:

Just saw two clips from #AlienCovenant and they are intense! Bloody, spooky, and intriguing @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

If you were hungry for more xenomorph action, then #AlienCovenant has you covered. @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

Katherine Waterston’s character looks to be way more Ripley than woman-in-distress. Kind of a badass. #AlienCovenant @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

Feels like this will be more of what people wanted out of Prometheus (which I still love). Almost like a redux. #AlienCovenant @joblocom

FOR LOGAN:

Okay, saw 40 minutes. Will have an overall write up later, but this is a much more violent, cool version of Wolverine #Logan @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

I think you guys are gonna really love X23. She is not to be fucked with #Logan @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

If you have doubts about how X23 will be in #Logan you can rest easy. She is awesome and vicious. #Logan @joblocom

FOR Gore Verbinski's A CURE FOR WELLNESS:

#ACureForWellness looks pretty creepy and intriguing. Oozing with atmosphere and Gore Verbinski’s signature style @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

The look and feel of #ACureForWellness is very purposeful. Clean. Inventive. Mysterious. Looking good. @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

“It’s gonna fuck you up.” – Gore Verbinski on #ACureForWellness @joblocom

— Paul Shirey (@arcticninja) December 8, 2016

Verbinski wants to do for wellness places what Jaws did for beaches with #ACureForWellness @joblocom

I'm most excited about the LOGAN and ALIEN reactions. LOGAN seems like it will be suitably violent and amazing, digging into the character in ways we've never seen. As for ALIEN it looks like we're in for a horrifying flick that harkens back the original classic. All-in-all, Paul saw 40 minutes of LOGAN, 35 minutes for CURE, three scenes and a trailer apiece for WAR and ALIEN, with more detailed reports to follow.

Stay tuned for all our updates in the future!
