Now THIS is a movie poster.
Movie fans are often taking to social media to complain about the current state of poster art, which is often of the poorly Photoshopped, “floating heads” variety. Meanwhile, fans are whipping up stunning posters that put the official studio releases to shame. But this brand spankin’ new art for Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, well, it’s honestly one of the coolest posters of all time.
The black and white poster depicts a mess of Xenomorphs and Engineers tangled together, and it’s one of the most beautifully horrifying images I’ve ever seen. H.R. Giger is smiling right now.
Check it out below!
Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice, Jobs, The Babysitters) 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.
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
Ridley Scott had previously promised to answer questions that left Prometheus viewers confused: “Covenant is really going to show you who did it and why.”
The Alien franchise returns on May 19, 2017.
