WithAlien: Covenantnow playing around the world, I recently sat down withRidley ScottandMichael Fassbenderfor an exclusive video interview. They talked about how the pulled off the great one-shot between David and Walter (the two androids Fassbender plays in the film), how Scott always likes to be under budget and on time, if they had a lot of deleted scenes, and what test screenings can reveal about the film.
As most of you know,Alien: Covenantis the sequel toPrometheusand it takes place before the firstAlienmovie. The film follows the crew of the colony ship Covenant, who discover what is presumably an uncharted paradise but actually turns out to be a dangerous world with only one surviving inhabitant:Michael Fassbender’sandroid, David. The film also starsKatherine Waterston,Carmen Ejogo,Amy Seimetz,Jussie Smollett,Callie Hernandez,Nathaniel Dean,Alexander England, andBenjamin Rigby.
Finally, before going to the theater to see the film, I’d strongly suggest watching two videos that Fox released to prep you for the film. The first is a5-minute prologue showing the last supperof the Covenant crew before going into cryosleep. The secondreveals the fate of Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and what happened with Davidpost-Prometheus.
Check out what Ridley Scott and Michael Fassbender had to say in the video above and below is exactly what we talked about followed by theAlien: Covenantsynopsis and some images from the film.

Here’s the official synopsis forAlien: Covenant:
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.
