Casting for Alien: Covenant Has Begun

Thanks for the heads up Hicks, got it shared already. Very exciting times ahead

I would say that it could well be Xenomorph Related, but thats just a assumption from the clues...  The Synopsis seems to omit the Engineers and from what we have seen the Engineers are portrayed as Tall and Quite Well Built, and althought they was originally going to explore the Engineers and the Hierarchy above them, we know that Ridley and Fox were not to pleased with the Frail Elders from the first movie and its one reason maybe they was cut.

Also it sugests a supporting role, and so i would assume that they do not mean The Covenants Crew... the biggest clue is that being Thin is a must and "Other Skills: Fast in Movement. Acrobats, Dancers, Gymnasts, Contortionists, Cirque du Soleil type performers"

To be this sounds like they are after people who will in somepart be playing the Monster Suit, Xenomorph related Organism.  But why do they want small and tall?  Maybe different stages?  or maybe size does not matter because they can use Camera Trickery like they do in Lord of the Rings and The Hobit movies... which Prometheus could have used for its Engineers but sadly they never.

"Looking through the books we seem a little short on aliens right now. So, if you are from another planet and are confident in front of the camera, you should get in touch with us soon."

So yes i would say they are casting for either.

Xenomorphs, or related Organisms.

A Race related to the Engineers (maybe Hierarchy)

Or another Race the Engineers or Hierarchy have created.

However as being athletic and Acrobats, Dancers, Gymnasts, Contortionists, Cirque du Soleil type performers is mentioned i think Xenomorph related is most likely what they are casting, which means Ridley wants to go about the same way he did with the First Alien and to use Practical Effects... Suits to be worn, with Practical Mechanics...

It could also hint to them using more than just ONE Alien related Xenomorph Organism.

CORPORAL HICKS - Oh, how very neat! This is exceptionally compelling news! The criteria set forth certainly seems to indicate that Alien: Covenant will feature life-forms similar in physical aesthetics to the original "Big Chap"! Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us! :)

Thanks Hicks for the post. It could either be some xenomorph of xeno related and/or Engineers.

Fast in movement could be xeno related, maybe with the idea that they would run around in tunnels or something. This is interesting, I am looking forward to see the result.
