With less than a
month to go until Ridley Scott's anticipated Alien: Covenant premieres, a trio
of new images from the film have landed online, and they tease some interesting
things.
The images come
courtesy of Empire, whose forthcoming issue delves deep into Covenant with an extensive
eight-page look at the anticipated sc-fi/horror film, so beware spoilers below.
"The first image show a
mysterious figure on the Engineer’s planet,, unleashing pods previously seen in Prometheus."
"Our
second image shows Michael Fassbender, returning in one of his dual roles as
the android David ("My first question was, ‘Do I get paid double?’"
Fassbender quips in the issue), in what appears to be a flashback with Weyland
Industries CEO Peter Weyland."
"Our third and final image shows
the gruesome-looking "Neomorph", chowing down on a hearty meal. The
Neomorph was inspired by Scott’s fondness for nature documentaries on living
nightmares, like goblin sharks. "Some of those nature videos are so
stomach-churning that they don’t pay me enough to watch them," shudders Covenant screenwriter John Logan. "But Ridley will see something
to do with insects swarming, for example, which eventually finds its way into a
movie. Usually
there’s some sort of grotesqueness we find interesting.""
Opening in theaters
on May 19, Alien: Covenant also stars Carmen Ejogo,
Katherine Waterston, Demián Bichir, Billy Crudup, Benjamin Rigby, Jussie
Smollett, Danny McBride, Callie Hernandez, James Franco, Alexander England,
Nathaniel Dean, Amy Seimetz, and Guy Pearce.
