Alien: Covenant prologue offers an extended look at the doomed crew
We all know it won’t end well for the crew when Alien: Covenant hits theaters in May. But, before things get too crazy, check out this four-minute prologue, which shows the team (including Michael Fassbender, who is playing synthetic androids Walter and David), futzing around like everything’s hunky dory.
While the prologue is fairly tame, there’s some obvious underlying tension, like the crew’s disdain for James Franco’s character, and the jealousy Billy Crudup’s character has for other crew members.
Apparently, Franco plays the original captain of the Covenant spaceship, so of course something is going to happen to him. Crudup winds up taking over as the ship’s new leader.
Meanwhile, we get a pretty good look at Katherine Waterston’s Daniels, an actor who recently delighted fans in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
