The Campaign
The idea was to make the Audi lunar quattro an actual team member of the crew of the Alien:Covenant space ship. And give it a role in the film. Together with the script writers we defined a true purpose for the Audi lunar quattro: once the Covenant space ship lands on the new planet, the rover scans the outter surrounding to identify possible dangers for humanity.
Creative Execution
Together with the script writers we made the Audi lunar quattro a team member of the covenant crew. Together with his team, he fought, feared and supported them with his technology. It was on set in New Zealand for 5 days and even made its way across the red carpet during the world premiere in London.
The Alien:Covenant trailers with the Audi lunar quattro have generated more than 30 million views. The global hype around the film gave the Mission to the Moon and our rover new attention. Star director Sir Ridley Scott praised the lunar rover for its technical finesse – and even compared it to its robot colleagues from Hollywood.
From Ingolstadt to Hollywood and on to the moon: Audi's Mission to the Moon brings the Moon rover Audi lunar quattro into Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant". A vehicle becomes a star – and reaches millions in theaters worldwide.
The first film of Ridley Scott's "Alien" series launched in 1979 – today, the Alien series stands as one of the most successful film series of all times. And the perfect surrounding to reach the blobal Sci-Fi community and enthuse them for our mission.
