“I couldn’t pick a better bunch of jerks to get marooned on a distant planet with!”
So begins this prelude to Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott’s latest chapter in the series he started way back in 1979.
Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride and Billy Crudup all get together for one last supper before entering cryosleep, as they embark on a mission to found a human settlement on a remote and distant planet.
It wouldn’t be Alien without one seriously heart-stopping moment, of course, but we’ll say nothing and let you watch it for yourselves.
We highly recommend you stick on the earphones for four minutes and give this a watch.
Alien: Covenant is released on 19 May.
