Next year will see the return of the Xenomorphs in the Alien Prequel/Prometheus Sequel, Alien: Covenant. Besides a couple of being-the-scenes images, not much has been revealed of the Ridley Scott helmed flick. However that has changed today, with the first footage from the film being shown to a crowd in New York. Read on to find out the verdict.
The first footage for the film was debuted earlier today as part of 20th Century Fox’s 2017 Preview. What was shown to the lucky audience included fifteen minutes of footage as well as a trailer for the film. Unfortunately there are currently no detailed descriptions of what was shown at the presentation, but luckily the first responses have been trickling in, with the general consensus being that it’s looking to recreate the tone that made the original film a classic.
Cinema Blend’s Sean O’Connell tweeted:
FOX just showed us first footage from Alien: Covenant. Make no mistake. This is a full blown, bloody HORROR film, in line with original.

Angie Han of SlashFilm had a similar feeling in regards to the film:
Well #AlienCovenant looks intense. Gory. Terrifying. Disgusting. Can't wait to see the rest of it

Erik Davis of Fandango says:
The #AlienCovenant stuff was crazy, bloody, gnarly & just plain badass. Multiple aliens, hang on to your stomachs – things get gory! https://t.co/QMmykU1NmZ

And finally Wilson Morales of blackfilm.com added:
The #AlienCovenant footage we just saw is freaking amazing!!! Thank God Ridley Scott is back!

Hopefully the presence of a trailer means that one will be released to the rest of us some time in the near future.
Headed toward a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew members of the colony ship Covenant discover what they believe to be an uncharted paradise, but it is actually a dark, menacing world in which the only inhabitant is the synthetic David (Michael Fassbender), a survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Alien: Covenant will hit screens May 19th, 2017.
