As filming for Alien: Covenant is now underway, Danny McBride has come forward to shed light on his role and praise the movie's "incredible" sets.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, McBride revealed that he stars as the pilot of a colonization ship called the Covenant, "searching for a planet where we might start life anew."
When asked about his experience on set, the actor said he isn't in front of a green screen all day, as "most of the stuff is practical effects," adding that "when you're running from an alien it's really a dude in an alien suit coming after you."
McBride praised the sets, saying they're so impressive that they don't require the actor to use much of your own imagination, recalling a specific instance in which they "go through some inclement weather at one point on the spaceship and this whole gigantic set is on a gimbal, shaking up and down."
He also spoke highly of Ridley Scott, saying he loves the director's energy and how quickly he moves through filming, doing no more than a few takes on any one particular scene.
Alien: Covenant opens in theaters on August 4, 2017 and is targeting a "pretty hard R" rating. For more on Scott's sci-fi thriller, check out this sneak peek at Katherine Waterston's new character.
