The upcoming science fiction film "Alien:Covenant" is a sequel to the 2012 movie"Prometheus". It tells the story about the crew of the colony ship Covenant, including Walter - a rebuild of David, the android survivor of the Prometheus expedition. The crew thinks that they are going to an uncharted paradise.
Obviously, they are wrong, as the destination turns out to be terrifying and dangerous because it is a world inhabited by the original David - the monstrous creature that starts to hunt them. The movie just released a four-minute clip which introduced us to the crew of the ill-fated ship.
According to The Verge, the video is fittingly titled "The Last Supper" and it serves as the prologue leading to the events of the movie. The video looks like a nod to the iconic dinner scene of the original "Alien." The video shows jovial conversations in the ship.
Viewers will then be given a little taste of panic when one of the crew was choking, leading us to believe that an alien would come out of her chest, but there was sigh of relief when it turned out that it was really just food giving her distress.
The Hollywood Reporter said that the video gives us a detailed look of the crew. James Franco is the captain, Danny McBride is the chief pilot, Michael Fassbender is Walter, and Katherine Waterston is terraforming expert Daniels and Franco's wife. Noomi Rapace will reprise her role as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, the archaeologist and former Prometheus crew.
Other casts are Billy Crudup, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, and Benjamin Rigby. "Alien:Covenant" is the second installment of the "Alien" series and the sixth installment of the overall "Alien" film series. The movie hits theaters on May 19.
