Following the release of its official prologue short film Last Supper, Alien: Covenant is teased even further in a new water-centric image.
Unveiled by Empire, the new image (see below) features the crew of the Covenant coming off their ship and onto a watery location.
""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."
A follow-up to 2012's Prometheus and a prequel to Alien (1979), Alien: Covenant was directed by Ridley Scott and features the return of Michael Fassbender, who reprises his role as the android David and also plays the new android Walter (seen in the short film below)
Additionally, Alien: Covenant stars Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollet, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, and James Franco.
20th Century Fox will release Alien: Covenant in theaters on May 19th, 2017, and Scott, Fassbender, and McBride will be in attendance at the SXSW Film Festival this March to reveal special footage of Alien: Covenant. In case you missed it, check out the recently revealed photo of the Covenant crew and the short film Prologue: Last Supper, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details.
