That long-awaited sequel to Alien: Covenant? Still happening, Ridley Scott says, and with Michael Fassbender’s David at the center.

Director Ridley Scott’s dystopian thriller “The Dog Stars” is three movies in one, none of which is compelling enough to sustain a two hour runtime.

The book will hit the big screen on Aug. 28, in a feature film adaptation directed by Ridley Scott and starring Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley and Josh Brolin
