Alien: Covenant Premiere: Katherine Waterston and Danny McBride Reveal Filming Challenges
Last night the cast of Alien: Covenant joined the film’s director Ridley Scott on the red (well, green) carpet for the global premiere held at Leicester Square, London.
The film’s leading lady – Katherine Waterston (Daniels) – stunned in Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2017 couture as she revealed that her onscreen running was a big challenge for her throughout the production of Covenant.
During a Facebook live video posted on the Alien: Covenant UK page, Waterston said: “Paul Thomas Anderson kept sending me e-mails going ‘the girl in the new Star Wars movie is running really well – don’t screw this up’.
“He was haunting me so I was really paranoid about it. I feel like I look like a fraggle. It’s scary to be chased especially when you’re in a space suit that has magnets sticking you to the floor,” she added.

Speaking about his on-set struggles, McBride said: “I learned quickly that I’m claustrophobic, especially when putting on helmets. So I learned how to take deep breaths.”
