You better run for your life.
One of next year’s most hotly-anticipated films is Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, the second chapter in the Alien prequel trilogy that began with 2012’s Prometheus. The film was originally set for release on August 4th, 2017, but we’ve got incredibly exciting news to share with you tonight. It’s just been bumped up three months, now headed our way on May 19th, 2017!
In addition to the new date, you can check out the first official teaser poster below!
In the film:
Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Michael Fassbender is returning as Prometheus‘ android David, with Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice, Jobs, The Babysitters) leading a new crew that includes Demian Bichir and Danny McBride (“Eastbound and Down”), as well as Alex England (Gods of Egypt), Billy Crudup, Amy Seimetz (A Horrible Way to Die, “The Killing”), Jussie Smollett (“Empire”), Carmen Ejogo, and Callie Hernandez (Machete Kills).
