What? You don’t want to see the whole movie before it’s released?
We’re now one month away from the release of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, which means that the promotional campaign has been kicked into high gear. TV spots, in particular, are coming in hot and heavy, and the folks over on Joblo just scored three brand new ones that are home to some brief snippets of new footage. They use those recent found footage-style transmissions as the basis, giving us our first look at the Tennessee (Danny McBride’s character) tape that we haven’t yet seen. Coolest of all, you’ll find a badass new shot of the Xenomorph in these spots.
Check ’em out below!
Katherine Waterston 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 short 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.
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.
