'Alien: Covenant' Prologue Offers Glimpse of What Happened to Shaw and David After 'Prometheus'
"Alien: Covenant" has just released a new prologue video clip for the upcoming film, giving fans a glimpse of what happened to Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and David (Michael Fassbender) when "Prometheus" ended. The clip clearly shows how the upcoming "Alien" movie by Ridley Scott links to "Prometheus."
Titled "The Crossing," the video shows synthetic being David putting Shaw to sleep on an abandoned engineer vessel. Both of them seem to be headed off to try to look for the creators of humanity once more. It can be recalled that in the previous film, this mission was what led the team to its demise.
The clip picks up immediately after Shaw and David escaped from the horrors they had to face aboard a ship in the 2012 sci-fi thriller, being the sole survivors of their exploration team. In the video, David narrates the piece as the ship heads towards the engineers' homeworld.
