The ‘Alien: Covenant’ Prologue Peels The Facehugger Off The Prometheus Backstory
As we all patiently wait to see where Alien: Covenant takes us in a Universe with some of the scariest monsters imaginable, Ridley Scott delivers us a piece of prologue of what happened after Prometheus.
More Alien: Turn On Your Radar: The Official ‘Alien: Covenant’ Trailer Is Loose
If you can recall the end of Prometheus, Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) escapes that destitute planet that killed her crew, made something resembling the Xenomorph after she banged her infected boyfriend, and then left with the head of David (Michael Fassbender) to the planet of the Engineers.
Premise: Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, members (Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup) of the colony ship Covenant discover what they think to be an uncharted paradise. While there, they meet David (Michael Fassbender), the synthetic survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition. The mysterious world soon turns dark and dangerous when a hostile alien life-form forces the crew into a deadly fight for survival.
Below is the prologue which ties directly to Alien: Covenant. I can’t begin to describe to you how cool everything in this is… so I won’t. Treat yourself:
