'Alien: Covenant' Drops Its First Trailer as a Christmas Gift
They’re back.
As a special treat this holiday season, the very first trailer for Alien: Covenant was released at midnight. So sit back and be filled with best feelings of the season: fear. Director Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created with a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien franchise in Alien: Covenant. The film follows the colony ship Covenant as it heads toward a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy. Crew members discover what they believe to be an uncharted paradise, which turns out to be a dark, menacing world in which the only inhabitant is the synthetic David (Fassbender), clad in all white as a survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, and Guy Pearce are reprising their roles from Prometheus along with newcomers Katherine Waterston, Demian Bichir, Billy Crudup, James Franco and Danny McBride. Alien: Covenant comes out May 19, 2017.
