First Image From Alien: Covenant

Though we'd have thought that yesterday's Alien Day social media and marketing blitz might have been the best day to launch a new image from Ridley Scott's next trip into the Alien universe, we suppose it makes sense to steer clear of the chatter.

Much as with Star Trek Beyond's initial peek, it's a picture of a ship's patch, in this case the titular craft. And look! The angels from the Ark of the Covenant. Fitting, but as Indiana Jones can tell you, associating with that particular relic might not end well...

According to the basic synopsis of the film, the story finds the colony ship Covenant headed for a remote planet, a place that the crew initially thinks is an uncharted paradise but turns out to be dark and full of terrors. And the only inhabitant is synthetic life form David (Michael Fassbender), who claims to be the lone survivor of the Prometheus mission.

Scott, working this time from a script by Michael Green and Jack Paglen, has Katherine Waterston, Demián Bichir, Jussie Smolett, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo, Callie Hernandez, Billy Crudup and Danny McBride aboard this one.
