With filming now underway in Australia on Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, a new photo from the film has been revealed, teasing Katherine Waterston's character Daniels.
The photo (see below) comes from the official Alien Facebook page, and features Waterston as Daniels in the damaged hallway of what could be the spaceship Covenant. The photo is accompanied with the caption, "Nowhere to run. #AlienCovenant #Daniels". This is the second official look at the film, following the teaser image of a Covenant crew member's patch that was revealed on Alien Day.
A follow-up to 2012’s Prometheus and the second of three planned prequel films, Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant is scheduled to hit theaters on August 4th, 2017.
In addition to Waterston (Inherent Vice), the cast for Alien: Covenant includes Michael Fassbender (reprising his role as the synthetic David from Prometheus), Demián Bichir (The Bridge), Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down), Amy Seimetz (The Sacrament, You’re Next, A Horrible Way to Die), Jussie Smollett (Empire), Carmen Ejogo (The Purge: Anarchy), Callie Hernandez (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Machete Kills), and Billy Crudup (Spotlight).
Alien: Covenant synopsis: “Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. 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.”
