Callie Hernandez talks auditioning for Alien: Covenant. The press may have finally seen some footage of Alien: Covenant recently and Alien vs. Predator Galaxy may have given you a few peeks under the veil of secrecy 20th Century Fox has cast over the film but those involved are still firmly keeping their lips sealed tight!

Alien: Covenant actress Callie Hernandez was recently featured in Interview Magazine where, for the second time, she talked a little about her involvement in Alien: Covenant. Expectedly she revealed no details about her character or the film. However, Hernandez did talk about how she become involved with the film, sharing that:

“I didn’t know anything [when I auditioned]. I was shooting Graves in Albuquerque; I had just gotten there. I had no one to read with since everyone was working, so I called a friend of mine and I said, “Can you just record these lines with spaces in between them into your phone, and I’ll film it in my hotel room on my own.” That’s what I did, and I remember watching the first tape going, “Oh my God, this is ridiculous, this is hilarious.” Then, within, like, three hours of me sending in the tape, they called back and they said they wanted to see another tape. So I called another friend and I did it again. Then I came to L.A. and I met with some people and that was that. I had no idea what character I was playing—no idea what the script was like—but I knew it was Ridley Scott and I knew it was an incredible cast, so it was a no brainer.

When my manager called me and told me I got the role, it was the quintessential crying, screaming. I was sweating for some reason. I was like, “Okay, what role am I playing?” And my manager jokingly said, “You’re playing the Alien. No one told you?” All we knew was the name of my character until maybe a month before going to Australia.”

Callie Hernandez is hot, can't wait to see her in the movie. :)

Curious to see what her role will encompass, she gave a great portrayal in Blair Witch, despite that films reputation she did a good job playing a character being chased by an inhuman unstoppable force which we're sure to see again in this film.

She reminds me of Hillard from Alien Resurrection.

interesting face lines. :) :D

Pretty sure theyre ALL under a non-disclosure until the movie hits... Fox probably learned from its mistakes of Prometheus by revealing WAY too much before the film hit!

In the New Year we'll start to hear more. By the end of December we'll have the trailer and more detailed accounts of the footage seen at the 2017 Showcase. We should start to get the viral campaign kicking in and we'll start to see those press articles and interviews as well.

She must be one of the Covenant crew as she claims: I worked with Danny McBride quite a bit (...) .
