Plot

'Alien: Covenat' is the second movie of the new prequel saga of 'Alien', which began with 'Prometheus' in 2012. Ridley Scott retakes his legendary horror and science fiction franchise with this new series directly connected with the films of the late seventies. The film revolves around the story of the colony ship Covenant crew. The team will embark on an expedition to a remote region of the galaxy considered an unknown paradise. However, once there, your journey will become a nightmare when you discover the darkest and darkest part of the planet. They will realize that the area is a desert and dangerous place where its only inhabitant is David, a synthetic being and unique survivor of the expedition Prometheus. In this context, the group will have to find an escape route to save themselves from that planet.

The film stars Michael Fassbender, who stars David, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Demián Bichir, Jussie Smollett, Danny McBride and others.

Trivia

Why 'Covenant'

The name of the ships is never random in Ridley Scott's movies. In 'Alien: The Eighth Passenger' the Nostromo ship paid tribute to the writer Joseph Conrad, whose director had adapted 'The Duelists'. 'Prometheus' referred to the Greek myth and its revision in 'Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus' by Mary Shelley. And 'Alien: Covenant'? Covenant could refer to the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest with the Tables of Law that also starred in the Indiana Jones debut.

Change

The title for the movie was changed from 'Alien: Paradise Lost' to 'Alien: Covenant'.

Companions from 'Fantastic Animals'

Katherine Waterston and Carmen Ejogo had already worked together. They met for the first time in 'Fantastic Animals and Where to Find' in 2016. Waterson was Tina and Ejogo Seraphina Picquery. Now return to 'Alien: Covenant'
