First Story Details Arrive For Next ALIEN Movie - Release Date!



Bringing you the best in Horror Movie News, and all things Horror.

2012 saw the release of PROMETHEUS which became a huge hit at the box office and of course it makes perfect sense to have a sequel. Director Ridley Scott previously made it known that PROMETHEUS was not an ALIEN franchise film, but this left many fans still wondering if there was an even bigger connection than what we already have.

Well it's widely known now that the connection is very real and with Scott gearing up for his PROMETHEUS follow-up previously titled ALIEN: PARADISE LOST, the film will now be known as ALIEN: COVENANT.

Here are the first story details:

"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."

At this time there is no word if Noomi Rapace will return as Elizabeth Shaw or not.

ALIEN: COVENANT currently has a release date of October 6, 2017.

We will continue to bring you more on this story as it unfolds.
