ALIEN: COVENANT Gets An Official Logo, Synopsis And Release Date
Fox has just announced that Ridley Scott's follow up to Prometheus will actually be titled Alien: Covenant, and we have a title treatment and synopsis to go along with a 2017 release date.
So, it seems Fox and Ridley Scott decided against going with the "Paradise Lost" subtitle, and instead called their follow up to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant. The studio issued a press release confirming the title, and also providing a synopsis which makes mention of Michael Fassbender's "artificial person" David, but not the other character that survived the first movie, Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw. Does this mean she's out?
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Alien: Covenant is set for an Ovtober 6, 2017 release.
