UK actress Katherine Waterston (Steve Jobs , Inherent Vice ) has signed on to star in Ridley Scott's upcoming Prometheus sequel "ALIEN COVENANT"... The film will also star: Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace... Rumor has it, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation‘s Rebecca Ferguson is close to signing on as well..
Plot Outline: “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.”
