Alien fans got a special (and gruesome) gift on Christmas Day, in the form of the first red band trailer for the sci-fi/horror flick, Alien: Covenant.
You can check out all three images, below.
Covenant includes direct ties to Prometheus – see the return of Michael Fassbender as the “synthetic” David and the black goo created by the Engineer alien race – and is said to directly connect with Alien too, making it something of an “inbetweenquel” in the vein of this year’s Star Wars movie release, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
The Ridley Scott-directed film, which comes after Prometheus but before the original Alien film in the franchise’s timeline, has the same basic narrative elements as Scott’s previous two installments in the series before it – a story about a group of human space explorers (and one android) who find their way to a mysterious planet where they encounter dangerous extraterrestrial life seemingly bent on killing them all.
