The Alien: Covenant Prologue Fills in Some Blanks

The Alien: Covenant Prologue Fills in Some Blanks

Happy Alien Day! Today, 20th Century Fox and Alien released an official prologue titled “The Crossing.” It fills in the blanks concerning what happened to the remaining crew members of the Prometheus, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and David.  You can watch watch the video below.

“The Crossing” takes place 10 years after the doomed Prometheus expedition. Elizabeth and David continue their on journey to discover humanity’s origins by taking an abandoned Engineer vessel and setting a course to their home world. On their journey, Elizabeth repairs David and the two look like they share a bond. After David is totally fixed, Elizabeth goes into a sort of suspended animated sleep inside a pod, leaving the synthetic totally alone to think and reflect.

At the end of the video we see the ship arrive on an alien planet, where their ship is being received by hundreds of cheering people. The last shot features David looking down at the scene though a large opening. His narrating voice utters the line, “Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair.”

It certainly looks like they’ve been it to the Engineers’ home planet. So what is going to happen to them once they realize their own kind wasn’t piloting their ship???

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with Alien: Covenant, a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.

Alien: Covenant premieres in theaters May 19, 2017. It stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, and Benjamin Rigby.
