Following the divisive reception to 2012’s Prometheus, director Ridley Scott is set to return to the Alien world he first helped create in 1979 with this year’s Alien: Covenant.
Covenant promises to be much more horrifying and tense than Prometheus ever was effectively bringing the Alien franchise back to its pure horror roots for the first time since, really, the original film.
That and it will, of course, just be yet another attempt on Scott and co.’s part to help link Covenant back to the film that started it all.
20th Century Fox has been working tirelessly to make sure the awareness and buzz surrounding the film isn’t dying down any time before then.
