Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Happy Alien Day, everybody! As a way of celebrating the upcoming release of ALIEN: COVENANT, 20th Century Fox has released a two-and-a-half-minute prologue for the film entitled The Crossing. The video gives fans of the intense sci-fi franchise a glimpse at events taking place 10 years after the carnage and mystery of PROMETHEUS.

You can check out ALIEN: COVENANT: The Crossing below:

As you can see, the clip fills fans in on what David (Michael Fassbender) and Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) have been up to while in their post-recovery state. It's all rather dark and foreboding, but then, a sweet detail arrives near the end that is sure to activate ALIEN enthusiast's "speculation mode", when David explores the Engineers’ home planet. 

ALIEN: COVENANT starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, and Benjamin Rigby will open in theaters everywhere beginning on May 19th, 2017.
