Ridley Scott promises Covenant will be everything you want from an Alien film.
I can’t recall a time when I was more excited to see a movie than I am right now, with Alien: Covenant hitting theaters in just about a week and a half. As a huge fan of both the original Alien and Prometheus, I genuinely cannot wait to see those two worlds collide proper. Alas, we have to wait. But while you do, check out a new featurette and some fun B-roll from the set!
Oh and read our Alien: Covenant review, while you’re at it!
Katherine Waterston stars while Michael Fassbender returns 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.
Alien: Covenant takes off for Paradise on May 19, 2017.
