We’ve Got the Brand New ‘Alien: Covenant’ Trailer and It’s INSANE!
Holy shit, you guys. Holy. Shit.
If you were bummed that Prometheus was less an Alien prequel and more of its own thing, well, let’s just say you’re going to be insanely happy with this year’s Alien: Covenant. Ridley Scott is back with a brand new installment in the saga that began in 1979, and this new trailer is honestly one of the coolest we’ve ever seen. I’m having a hard time even forming words right now.
The trailer, running 90-seconds long, plays out like a super intense trip through Hell itself, and it’s absolutely loaded with creatures both familiar and brand new. We already saw a Face Hugger in the previous trailer, which hit back in December, but this one also showcases the brand new Neomorph, a white-colored, fast-moving beast that is sure to scare the shit out of audiences.
And then, towards the end of the trailer, he arrives.
As we’ve recently reported, Alien: Covenant will feature one of the classic-style Xenomorphs we were first introduced to back in 1979, and goddamn does the beast look cooler than ever.
You also get to see Katherine Waterson being totally badass as new female heroine Daniels, who is very likely going to be giving Xeno-slayer Ellen Ripley a run for her money.
Enjoy. And try not to completely lose your mind.
Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice, Jobs, The Babysitters), doing her best impersonation of Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), stars with Michael Fassbender returning as Prometheus‘ android David (and Walter), with a 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). James Franco also has a role, which was confirmed in this fun crew photo.
Fox Just Released an Alien: Covenant Short Film That Introduces the Crew!
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
Scott had previously promised to answer questions that left Prometheus viewers confused: “Covenant is really going to show you who did it and why.”
Alien: Covenant takes off for Paradise on May 19, 2017.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
