Katherine Waterston talks being chased by “enormous Aliens” in a new interview with The One Show. With the imminent release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Katherine Waterston has been participating in the press rounds promoting the film.
She appeared alongside Fantastic Beasts co-star Eddie Redmayne on BBC One’s The One Show last night where she spoke very briefly about Alien: Covenant (at about the 27 minute mark).
When hosts Alex Jones and Angellica Bell brought up the topic of Alien: Covenant, Waterston told the hosts: “I’m was sort of running towards the trouble in Fantastic Beasts, whereas in Alien I’m running from it. Ridley is a little sadistic. He likes it to feel pretty scary on set. There were days when there were really enormous Aliens chasing me and I was in a cumbersome spacesuit.”

The fear factor of Alien: Covenant is something that has been spoken about several times by the cast but the topic of practical Aliens hasn’t really been discussed. Callie Hernandez has previously hinted at the topic though. When asked if seeing Aliens in the flesh destroyed the illusion, she told SlashFilm: “No, it was just as terrifying as you would ever imagine it to be.” And we have, of course, been teased with the hand of a creature. Whether it’s the traditional Alien or Alien: Covenant’s new Neomorphs remains to be seen, however!
When pressed for details on her character (who we know is named Daniels), Katherine Waterston opted to play the secrecy card and not reveal anymore details. Thanks to BonesawT101 for the heads up!

Very thankful! You have my sympathies, NickisSmart.
I'd say, that's kind of 'enormous' by any use of the word. lol.
-Windebieste.
I used to get my mom to drive me to Watertown in New York State to see Rated "R" movies as a kid. She, and they, didn't give a f**k. That said, I was really well behaved as a child, and most of the stuff I wanted to see was technically scifi and not horror (Robocop and Robocop 2, Aliens, Alien 3, that kinda thing). Luckily I was really easy to shut up as a kid, hand me a stack of comic books and I'd just read them all on the way and not really speak or ask "are we there yet?"
For my 8th birthday I got her to drive me to see the f**king Terminator. Best Birthday ever. Truth be told, she also wanted to see it and couldn't find anyone in her age bracket to see it with.
Can you imagine taking a child to see Linda Blair stab herself with the crucifix, i mean i can understand no babysitter for your child but to bring them to see that.
Yeah i know.. When EXORCIST: THE VERSION YOU'VE NEVER SEEN came out in 2000 there were young kids in the cinema.
Still enormous aliens could mean the engineers.
"Enormous aliens" - she's tall in height so I wonder how big they are in the film. But I doubt that means 'dinosaur sized'. Probably just 8 feet tall like the standard aliens.
She talks about it right at the end of the video.
