Ahead of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant release next month, Fox released three new TV spots which appeared during last night’s The Walking Dead season finale. They were released online after they aired, telling us to “Run, Pray and Hide.” They are appropriately short but shows a lot of action packed footage and hints of what Scott has in store for fans.

Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, and James Franco.

Here’s the official synopsis for Alien: 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.

Alien: Covenant arrives in theaters on May 19 in the US.

In the terrifying first trailer for the updated version of Stephen King’s classic ‘It’, not everybody loves a clown (especially one that carries around a red balloon). In fact it may give you coulrophobia. Along with the first trailer, New Line Cinema also released a chilling new poster (right) for its upcoming film.

In the trailer, a boy chases his paper boat as it floats through the ditch and fell into the drainage. As he reaches down to find it, the boy saw the creepy head of a clown. In comes a group of curious kids known as The Loser Club, who finds out more about the mysterious disappearance of children in their town, and later come face to face with the evil clown.

Based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel of the same name, “It” was previously adapted in 1990 into a tv miniseries with Tim Curry as Pennywise. In June 2012, Hollywood Reporter announced that the novel, similar to the two-part tv series, will be cleaved into two films.

There’s only a few glimpses of Pennywise the Clown in this first teaser, which only adds to the mystery. But as creepy as the trailer is, it also have the same vibe of “Stand By Me”, the 1986 classic also based on a Stephen King novella.

It would be interesting to see if elements from both novels appear in the movie and how they will come to merge. It is an effective trailer nonetheless, evoking many elements of suburban dreads pertaining to child abductions and children’s fear of clowns, as well the terrors and jump scares of the horror genre.

The cast includes Jaeden Lieberher (“Midnight Special” and one of our most anticipated movies of the year “The Book of Henry”), Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”), Jeremy Ray Taylor, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer and Nicholas Hamilton. Bill Skarsgård plays the Pennywise.

“It” is due to be released Sept. 8 by Warner Bros. Pictures and is directed by Argentinian filmmaker Andrés Muschietti.

Its still two months away from the release of Alien: Covenant but Sir Ridley Scott is already prepping more Alien movies. In fact, he’s already got a title for the next one.

‘There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien. It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant,’ said Scott in a recent interview with Fandango. “It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant.. fairly integral where this colonization ship is on the way….” says the director.

Main takeaway: not only will there be another Alien movie, Scott is already working on it with a title in place called Awakening which presumably completes a trilogy and more coming our way, contingent on how Covenant and Awakening performs. “If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more,” Scott added.

Having this new Awakening film sandwiched between Prometheus and the upcoming Covenant suggests a non-linear timeline of these three movies. So let’s not even get into how confusing that is, and just enjoy the ride and see what the master has in store this summer.

Alien: Covenant, starring Michael Fassbender, James Franco and Katherine Waterston, is due to hit cinemas on May 12.

The trailer, which premiered on Ellen this week, shows some of the origin of Javier Bardem’s villain, Captain Armando Salazar, and his encounter with a young Sparrow. “He took everything from me and filled me with rage,” says Salazar. We then learn that this encounter shaped Sparrow’s character and why he’s being chased. The trailer then continues with a grown-up Sparrow and more action on the highs seas.

This time around, there’s a lot more scenes in the trailer showing Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, who’s been hidden away in most of the movie’s marketing. We also see the return of Geoffrey Rush’s Barbosa and Orlando Bloom’s Captain Will Turner.

I’m not entirely sure if the young Sparrow is CG for what appears to be a series of flashback scenes. Looking at the movie’s IMDB page, there’s no hint of who might be playing that role. But all in all, it looks like a fun new installment in the swashbuckling series. Despite diminishing returns on the domestic front, Sparrow and the ‘Pirates’ continue to be a major international attraction, with almost 77% of the global box-office gross of the last installment, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides coming from foreign markets. The movie also has a new synopsis:

Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea…including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.

Dead Men Tell No Tales is directed by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg. Starring Johnny Depp, Kaya Scodelario, Orlando Bloom and Javier Bardem, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’ “final adventure begins” on May 26.
