Exactly one year from today, viewers will be able to enter a new chapter in Ridley Scott’s Alien universe with 20th Century Fox's release of Alien: Covenant. To celebrate the one-year (to go) mark, a brief behind-the-scenes video has been released from the film's set.
Posted on the official Alien Facebook page and titled "Days to arrival: 365," the video features a monitor displaying what appears to be actress Katherine Waterston in a hypersleep chamber used for long stretches of travel in deep space.
You can view the video below, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates on Alien: Covenant, which stars Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice), 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).. It was also previously reported that Noomi Rapace was on the Alien: Covenant set in Australia, presumably to reprise her role as Elizabeth Shaw from Prometheus.
The second of three planned prequel films, Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant is scheduled to hit theaters on August 4th, 2017:
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.”

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
