Alien: Covenant is a 2017 American science-fiction horror film Alien: Covenant changes everything we know about cinema’s most terrifying monster; directed by Ridley Scott and written by John Logan and Dante Harper, with a story by Michael Green and Jack Paglen. A sequel to the 2012 film Prometheus, the film is the second installment in the Alien prequel series and the sixth installment overall in the Alien film series, as well as the third directed by Scott. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demián Bichir, and follows the crew of a ship that lands on an uncharted planet before making a terrifying discovery.

Alien: Covenant premiered in London on May 4, 2017 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 19, 2017.[5]

Plot

During preparations for the Prometheus expedition, Peter Weyland addresses a synthetic android who would become part of the mission. Weyland asks the android his name; the android selects "David" after looking upon Michelangelo's statue of the same name.

In 2104, the crew of the colony ship Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with some 2000 colonists and over 1400 embryos on-board, monitored by an upgraded android resembling the earlier David, named Walter. While en route, a neutrino shockwave severely damages the ship, killing its captain and waking the crew from stasis. As the crew repair the damage, a radio transmission is intercepted from a nearby planet. Against the objection of Daniels, the ship's terraforming expert and acting executive officer, acting captain Oram decides to investigate, as the transmission is human in origin, but the planet is supposedly lifeless.

Arriving at the source of the transmission, an expedition team descend to the surface, while Covenant remains in orbit. Karine sets up an ecological survey station, while the others track the signal's source. They discover it originates from an Engineer ship, piloted by Elizabeth Shaw following the disastrous Prometheus mission. Two security team members, Ledward and Hallett, are inadvertently infected with an alien spore. Karine attempts to assist them, but Faris locks them inside the landing vehicle's med-bay as a quarantine precaution. A Neomorph bursts from Ledward's back, killing him, then mauls Karine to death. Faris tries to kill Ledward's Neomorph and fails, but accidentally destroys the lander in the process in a large explosion. The ground team witnesses the explosion and, seconds later, another Neomorph bursts from Hallett's throat.

Forced to retreat, the remnants of the landing party are attacked by the neomorphs. Mayhem ensues and one of the Neomorphs is killed. Walter loses a hand saving Daniels before the crew are rescued by David, the sole survivor of the Prometheus mission, as they attempt to radio Covenant for help. David claims that, upon his arrival with Shaw, the Engineer ship accidentally released its cargo of "black goo", a bioweapon recovered during the Prometheus mission, killing the native population of Engineers. In the ensuing chaos, the ship crashed, killing Shaw. On the surface, the surviving neomorph attacks and decapitates Rosenthal, who was separated from the main group. David attempts to tame the alien, but is horrified when Oram kills it. At Oram's demand, David reveals his activities on the planet. Using the "black goo" as a catalyst, he created the earliest Neomorphs after experimenting with a parasitic wasp that laid eggs inside its prey; upon being born, the larvae ate the prey from the inside out. David shows Oram a chamber he has used to incubate his latest creation, Facehuggers, which implant Oram with an embryo. The embryo later erupts into a Xenomorph—an evolution of the Neomorph—killing Oram.

As the crew search for Oram, Walter confronts David after learning the truth of his experiments; David had deliberately unleashed the black goo upon the planet's population. Elizabeth Shaw became the first victim of a Facehugger, murdered by David in what he considers a necessary sacrifice. David disables Walter and confronts Daniels, telling her that he would do to her what he did to Shaw. Saved by a reactivated Walter, the crew attempt to evacuate. Against objections due to a severe weather storm, Tennessee, the pilot of the Covenant, arrives to extract the survivors of the team. They are attacked by an adult Xenomorph as Covenant arrives. Several crew members and colonists are killed, but they escape the surface. Crew member Lope, however, had been implanted by a Xenomorph embryo, which has gestated, and is now loose aboard Covenant. With the help of Walter, the crew funnel the Xenotomorph to the terraforming bay, flushing it into space.

With the ship safe, the crew return to their original mission plan, and re-enter stasis. As Walter puts them under one by one, Daniels asks him if he will help her realize her dead husband's dream of building a log cabin once they arrive on their new homeworld. Walter, with whom Daniels had previously confided this information, does not appear to understand this, and Daniels realizes she is talking to David, who had disguised himself as Walter. As Daniels enters stasis, David gains access to the colonists' embryo cryogenic chambers and regurgitates two Facehugger embryos. He leaves them with the frozen human embryos, intending to use the humans aboard the covenant as hosts to continue his experiments.

Cast

Further information on individual characters: List of Alien characters
  • Michael Fassbender as Walter, a synthetic android created by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, who assists the crew aboard Covenant.[6] The name Walter broke the tradition in the Alien franchise of giving synthetic characters names that begin with subsequent letters in the alphabet — Ash in Alien, Lance Bishop in Aliens, Annalee Call in Alien Resurrection, David in Prometheus, and Elden in Fire and Stone, A-B-C-D-E. The tradition was broken as tribute to David Giler and Walter Hill, who have been involved in every Alien film as writers.[7]
    • Fassbender also reprises his role as David, an earlier-made, Weyland Corporation prototype android, formerly a crew member of the destroyed Prometheus.[8]
  • Katherine Waterston as Daniels, a terraforming expert aboard the Covenant, and the wife of the ship's captain, Jacob Branson.[9] Waterston said she was well aware of the comparison that was going to be made between her and Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley, but admits that she tried not to think about it too much while filming for fear of being intimidated.[10]
  • Billy Crudup as Christopher Oram, the first mate of the Covenant. Oram is a self-serious man of faith who believes their role on the Covenant is an act of destiny, and he shares a "contentious" relationship with Daniels.[11]
  • Danny McBride as Tennessee, the chief pilot of the Covenant.[12]
  • Demián Bichir as Sergeant Lope, the head of the security unit aboard the Covenant.[13]
  • Carmen Ejogo as Karine Oram, Christopher Oram's wife, a biologist aboard the Covenant.[11]
  • Amy Seimetz as Faris, Tennessee's wife.[14]
  • Jussie Smollett as Ricks[15]
  • Callie Hernandez as Upworth
  • Nathaniel Dean as Sergeant Hallett, Lope's husband, and a member of his security unit aboard the Covenant.[13]
  • Alexander England as Ankor, a member of the security unit aboard the Covenant.
  • Benjamin Rigby as Ledward, a member of the security unit aboard the Covenant.

James Franco portrays Jacob Branson, the captain of the Covenant and the husband of Daniels,[16] Tess Haubrich portrays Rosenthal, a member of the security unit whose partner is in cryosleep during the mission,[17] and Uli Latukefu portrays Pvt. Cole, another member of the security team.[18] Javier Botet portrays a Xenomorph via motion capture.[19] Goran D. Kleut plays the role of both the Neomorph and the Xenomorph in costume and on set.[citation needed]

Noomi Rapace reprises her role as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, the archaeologist who was formerly a crew member of the destroyed Prometheus,[20] and Guy Pearce reprises his role as Peter Weyland, the trillionaire founder and CEO of Weyland Corporation (now the Weyland-Yutani Corporation) who died before the destruction of the Prometheus.[21]

Production

Development

In 2012, prior to the release of Prometheus, director Ridley Scott began hinting at the prospects of a sequel.[22][23] Scott said that a sequel would follow Shaw to her next destination, "because if it is paradise, paradise cannot be what you think it is. Paradise has a connotation of being extremely sinister and ominous." Writer Damon Lindelof cast doubt on his participation, and said, "if [Scott] wants me to be involved in something, that would be hard to say no to. At the same time, I do feel like Alien: Covenant might benefit from a fresh voice or a fresh take or a fresh thought."[24] Scott said that an additional film would be required to bridge the fifty year span written as the transpiration gap between the Prometheus sequel and Alien.[25]

As of August 1, 2012, Fox was pursuing a sequel with Scott, Noomi Rapace, and Michael Fassbender involved, and was talking to new writers in case Lindelof did not return. [26] In December 2012, Lindelof ultimately chose not to work on the project.[27] Early on Scott stated that the film would feature no xenomorphs, "The beast is done. Cooked."[28] However Scott would make later statements that were contradictory, stating what is planned and confirming the xenomorphs' presence in the film.[citation needed] but ultimately the movie does not include the creatures, instead featuring the similar neomorphs and protomorphs.[29]

On September 24, Scott confirmed the film's title as Alien: Paradise Lost.[30] In November 2015, Scott revealed the new title to be Alien: Covenant, with filming set to begin in February 2016 in Australia.[31] An official logo, synopsis and release date were released on November 16, 2015.[32]

Pre-production

In late August 2015, Scott confirmed that he had started scouting the locations for the film.[33] In October 2015, the Australian government attracted the production of the film and Thor: Ragnarok to Australia by providing $47.25 million in grants.[34][35] Woz Productions Ltd., a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, visited Te Anau, New Zealand on March 28, 2016 for a location scout, for filming in Fiordland.[36]

Casting

In August 2015, it was announced that the film would star Rapace and Fassbender, while Rik Barnett was in talks to be cast in the film.[37] That December Katherine Waterston was cast in the film for the lead role of Daniels;[38] it will be Waterston's second film alongside Fassbender, after the pair appeared in 2015's Steve Jobs. Longtime collaborator with Scott, Dariusz Wolski was confirmed to serve as the film's cinematographer.[39] In 2016, Ridley Scott stated that Noomi Rapace would not reprise her role of Elizabeth Shaw. However, in June it was confirmed Rapace will reprise her role as Shaw and shoot weeks worth of scenes in Scott's film.[20] In February 2016, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Jussie Smollett, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo, Callie Hernandez, Billy Crudup, and Alexander England were reported to have joined the cast.[12][40][41][42][43] In March 2016, newcomer Benjamin Rigby joined the cast.[44] In December 2016, it was announced James Franco was cast in the film, as Captain Branson, the husband to Daniels and the captain of the Covenant.[45][46][47]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began on April 4, 2016, at Milford Sound in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand.[48][49][50][51] Filming wrapped on July 19, 2016.[52] On November 18, 2016, additional photography was scheduled to take place at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire.[53]

Effects houses Odd Studios and CreatureNFX provided the film's makeup and animatronic creature effects respectively,[54][55] while Australian-based effects house Animal Logic provided the film's digital visual effects.[56] Approximately 30 people from CreatureNFX worked on the project for almost six months building animatronics.[55] Actors wearing creature suits with animatronic heads were used to portray the aliens[55][57] and casting calls for the aliens specifically asked for people between the age of 8 and 40 who were skinny, very tall or very short, strong and physically agile, and preferably skilled in fast movement, acrobatics, dancing, gymnastics, contortion, and "Cirque du Soleil type performers."[58]

Music

Harry Gregson-Williams was initially selected as the film's composer,[59] but confirmed in November 2016 that he was no longer working on Alien: Covenant. Gregson-Williams summarized the reasons for his departure from the project as a mixture of scheduling and creative issues, stating that "schedules and one's expectations of scoring a film don't always fit and this one wasn't going to work out."[60] During the trailer's release in late 2016, rising Norwegian singer and songwriter AURORA was announced to have contributed to the official soundtrack. The first trailer revealed that Jed Kurzel had replaced Gregson-Williams as the composer.[61] Themes of Jerry Goldsmith's original score to Alien have been incorporated. [62]

Release

Alien: Covenant premiered on May 4, 2017, at the Odeon Leicester Square in London.[63] The film is scheduled for general release on May 10 in France, May 12 in Pakistan[64] and May 19 in the United States in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D.[65][66][5] It was originally set to be released on August 4 before being moved up by 20th Century Fox.[67][68]

On April 26, 2017, 20th Century Fox released Alien: Covenant In Utero, a virtual reality teaser for "Alien: Covenant" for the Oculus Rift and the Samsung Gear VR. The experience was produced by RSA, FoxNext VR, MPC, Mach1, AMD Radeon, and Dell Alienware. [69][70] The trailer is a first person experience in which the viewer plays the role of a Neomorph. The experience was executive produced by Ridley Scott and directed by David Karlak.

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 75% based on 99 reviews, and an average rating of 6.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Alien: Covenant delivers another satisfying round of close-quarters deep-space terror, even if it doesn't take the saga in any new directions."[71] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score 64 out of 100, based 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[72]

Writing for The Guardian, Peter Bradshaw gave the film a positive review, praising the performances of its actors and comparing it to other releases of the franchise, stating that the film is: "... a greatest-hits compilation of the other Alien films' freaky moments. The paradox is that though you are intended to recognise these touches, you won’t really be impressed unless you happen to be seeing them for the first time. For all this, the film is very capably made, with forceful, potent performances from Waterston and Fassbender."[73]

Geoffrey McNab writing for The Independent found the film to be adequate in presentation and production though not as strong in its writing stating that Alien: Covenant: "... certainly delivers what you’d expect from an Aliens film—spectacle, body horror, strong Ripley-like female protagonists and some astonishing special effects—but there’s also a dispiriting sense that the film isn’t at all sure of its own identity. The very portentous screenplay, co-written by John Logan (Coriolanus, Skyfall), throws in references to Shelley and Byron, Wagner and Michelangelo, and lots of philosophising about human origins and identity. In the meantime, the crew members pitted against the monstrous creatures are trying their darndest to blast them to kingdom come, just as they would in any run of the mill sci-fi B movie."[74]

Sequels

In September 2015, Ridley Scott revealed he was planning two sequels to Prometheus, which would lead into the first Alien film, even adding: "Maybe [there will] even [be] a fourth film before we get back into the Alien franchise."[75][76] In November 2015, Scott confirmed that Alien: Covenant would be the first of three additional films in the Alien prequel series, before linking up with the original Alien,[77][78] and stated that the Prometheus sequels will reveal who created the xenomorph aliens.[79] The screenplay for the third prequel film was written during production of Alien: Covenant and finished in 2017. Production is scheduled to begin in 2018.[80] In April 2017, Scott announced that Alien 5 will never happen.[81] In an interview Ridley Scott said had the project been realised, he would have participated as producer; however 20th Century Fox chose not to pursue the project.[82]
