If you missed LEGION tonight on FX, you missed the special sneak preview for ALIEN: COVENANT, but not to worry as we’ve got it below for your viewing pleasure. The Prologue: Last Supper short introduces the crew of the mission. Set aboard the Covenant, a colonization ship on its way to a remote planet to form a new human settlement, the main crew (all couples) and their android, Walter, enjoy one last meal together before cryosleep.
When Ridley Scott returned to the ALIEN cinematic universe with PROMETHEUS a few years ago, the reactions were pretty mixed, with most feeling like it wasn’t quite as satisfying as they’d hoped. Perhaps he can make up for it with ALIEN: COVENANT, starring James Franco, Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England and Benjamin Rigby. One thing we know for sure, this film doesn’t just bring back the ALIEN in the title, from the looks of the new trailer we’ll see at least one of the xenomorphs in the movie too. The big question is how Michael Fassbender will fit into the proceedings, as in PROMETHEUS his character (an android) got his head ripped off, and the head was taken by Noomi Rapace by spaceship to the homeworld location of the Engineers… we’re guessing since Rapace isn’t back for this one, this will be a different kind of story. Check out the prologue below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
