Are you ready to meet the newest member of the Weyland-Yutani family?
As we told you yesterday, we’re going to officially #MeetWalter tomorrow as part of the viral marketing campaign for Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant; in the meantime, today brings another teaser clip and a character poster that serve to get us ready for Friday’s formal meeting. Michael Fassbender will be playing the advanced synthetic companion, who is created to serve.
Check out the clip and image below, and keep your eyes locked on MeetWalter.com.
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.”
Alien: Covenant takes off for Paradise on May 19, 2017.
