Twentieth Century Fox just sent us a brand new teaser poster for Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant that may look familiar. The reason? It’s basically the same one-sheet used to promote Scott’s seminal 1979 film, only with an upgrade…the egg is both darker and scarier, implying that the Covenant crew is in for an even worse trip that Ripley’s.
The new one-sheet also came with a note: we’ll be receiving a brand new trailer tomorrow as it will be playing ahead of Logan this coming weekend.
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
Speaking of “Last Supper”, the red band Alien: Covenant trailer and Christmas share this interesting connection.
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.
