Fox has just released a new ALIEN: COVENANT promo – can't call it a clip, really, but a brief montage of clips – that focuses on Katherine Waterston's Ripley-esque character Daniels and her relationship to the Covenant's on-board artificial intelligence MUTHUR (yes, that’s how it’s being spelled). This obviously only accentuates how close to Ridley Scott's classic ALIEN this new film really is.
But will MUTHUR act as an antagonist this time around as well?
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 stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby and James Franco. It hits theaters May 19th.
