After my first time watching all the alien movies last year, i watched some fanedits and especially liked a lot of the stuff added to alien covenant in the Chaos edition. so, i decided to make my own preferred edit. The main changes are many deleted scenes and some promotional shorts were added and several appearances of the aliens are reduced or removed. I feel the cgi aliens often look bad, and I like these prequels better when they don't feel like they're trying to imitate the earlier alien movies.
Alien Covenant The Appendix Cut cutlist:
-use extended David prologue
-add Phobos short
-add Walter in hydroponics deleted scene
-add Oram comforts Daniels deleted scene
-add Walter comforts Daniels deleted scene
-add extended funeral scene
-add Ledward's fall deleted scene
-trim Ledward bloodburster
-trim Hallet bloodburster
-use extended plaza scene
-add Daniel's thanks Walter deleted scene
-add The Crossing journey flashback
-add Rosie's prayer deleted scene and remove some neomorph shots
-add Walter reports back deleted scene
-trim Oram chestburst
-move The Crossing genocide flashback
-trim cargo transport pickup to remove xenomorph fight
Running time: 130 min
Time cut: 13 min
Time added: 23 min
I used the Chaos Edition as a reference for some of the deleted scene placement. At first, I was just going to use it as a source, but discovered it has framerate issues and decided I want to do my edit a little differently. So, I've been learning how to get my project setup in premiere and have started editing it together. Any feedback or tips are most welcome!
p.s. my wife came up with the title, Alien Covenant: The Appendix Cut; she liked the double meaning of adding to something and removing what she calls "the gross parts".
