Feb. 23 (UPI) -- 20th Century Fox has released a 5-minute video prologue for its space-horror movie Alien: Covenant, starring Katherine Waterston, Michael Fassbender and Billy Crudup.
The clip was released late Wednesday. It introduces the all-couples crew of the colonization ship Covenant as they enjoy a final meal -- along with drinks and a few laughs -- before they are scheduled to enter into cryosleep. The android Walter [played by Fassbender] is also seen rushing to the aid of one of the female crew members, who seems to be choking. Notable as well is the appearance of James Franco's captain character, who is sick and goes to bed before the festivities begin.
