Because we’re close to running out of cuisines to dedicate holidays to, the good folks at 20th Century Fox have selected a day to celebrate the mayhem of the forthcoming Alien: Covenant. On April 26, you’ll be able to observe all the Covenant-related festivities the studio has in store for you, including nationwide screenings of Prometheus and the Queen Mother of Alien movies, 1979’s Alien. Proving that this is not just a marketing scheme, the marketing team picked April 26 to commemorate this decades-long franchise based on the scientific classification of the moon of Archeron, which is LV-426. Sounds totally legit. Anyway, here’s a promo:
In addition to the screenings, the Alien: Covenant cast will participate in a live-streamed Q&A with fans at 10 a.m. PT. There will also be a trivia contest and plenty of themed merchandise. Obviously, Hug A Friend Day and Confederate Memorial Day will have nothing on Alien Day.
