Exclusive Interview: Alien: Covenant stars Danny McBride and Billy Crudup

May 9, 2017 by Gary Collinson

With Alien: Covenant set to open in the UK this coming Friday, Flickering Myth’s Thomas Harris caught up with stars Danny McBride (Tennessee) and Billy Crudup (Oram) to discuss their roles in Ridley Scott’s hotly-anticipated sci-fi horror sequel.

Warning: The interview contains some spoilers, so you may want to come back to it once you’ve seen the film…

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.

Alien: Covenant is set for release on May 12th in the UK and May 19th in the States. Prometheus stars Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce return alongside new cast additions Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice), Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down), Demian Bichir (A Better Life), Billy Crudup (Watchmen), Jussie Smollett (Empire), Carmen Ejogo (Selma), Amy Seimetz (Upstream Color), Benjamin Rigby (That’s Not Me), Callie Hernandez (Machete Kills), Tess Haubrich (The Wolverine) and James Franco (Why Him?).
