Prologue for ALIEN: COVENANT Introduces Us to the Crew of the Ship

5-minute clip for Ridley Scott‘s Alien: Covenant has been released. It serves as a prologue that introduces us to the entire crew of the colonization ship, Covenant. it’s set to open in theaters on May 19.

The clip is called “Prologue: Last Supper” and the main crew, who are all couples, and their android, Walter, group together for one last feast together before they enter cryosleep. They are on their way to a remote planet where the crew will form a new human settlement.

It’s really interesting to learn that all of the passengers on the ship are couples who are going to start a whole new human settlement. That’s going to make for an astonishingly fascinating dynamic. This clip is such a fabulous way to introduce us to these new characters.

Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, and James Franco.
