WithAlien: Covenantopening this weekend in North America, I recently sat down withDanny McBride,Billy CrudupandDemian Bichirfor an exclusive video interview. They talked about what surprised them about working with director Ridley Scott, memorable moments from filming, deleted scenes, which set they’d love to take home, and more. In addition, towards the end of the interview, you can watch them joke around with each other and I’m pretty sure they’ll make you laugh.
As most of you know,Alien: Covenantis the sequel toPrometheusand it takes place before the firstAlienmovie. The film follows the crew of the colony ship Covenant, who discover what is presumably an uncharted paradise but actually turns out to be a dangerous world with only one surviving inhabitant:Michael Fassbender’s android, David. The film also starsKatherine Waterston,Carmen Ejogo,Amy Seimetz,Jussie Smollett,Callie Hernandez,Nathaniel Dean,Alexander England, andBenjamin Rigby.
Finally, before going to the theater to see the film, I’d strongly suggest watching two videos that Fox released to prep you for the film. The first is a5-minute prologue showing the last supperof the Covenant crew before going into cryosleep. The secondreveals the fate of Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and what happened with Davidpost-Prometheus.
Check out what McBride, Crudup and Bichir had to say in the video above and below is exactly what we talked about followed by theAlien: Covenantsynopsis and some images from the film.

Here’s the official synopsis forAlien: Covenant:
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
