Produced by Ridley Scott and directed by David Karlak, Alien: Covenant In Utero is a 360-degree virtual reality journey into a living nightmare that offers a terrifyingly close and personal encounter as an alien Neomorph at the time of its birth. Fans will be able to experience the world around them and relive the very first memories of the Neomorph in an immersive environment.

"The intense, action-packed nature of the Alien franchise makes it a perfect setting for virtual reality," said Ken Thewes, Chief Marketing Officer at Regal Entertainment Group. "Through our collaboration with Fox and AMD and Alienware, this innovative technology will add a whole new dynamic to the movie going experience for Alien: Covenant, and we are thrilled to offer this unique Virtual Reality experience for our Regal guests."

'VR is currently the most eagerly anticipated development in immersive computing. AMD is excited to deliver the foundational technology for such premium and stunning VR experiences, engaging a broad range of consumers in a visceral and exciting way as well as enabling them to experience this truly transformational technology.'

"Our goal at 20th Century Fox is to create incredible cinematic experiences," said Zachary Eller SVP Marketing Partnerships, 20th Century Fox. "Partnering with Regal, AMD & Alienware on touring the ALIEN In Utero VR experience allows us to make sure the cinematic experience starts even before the movie begins!"

"VR can add so much to the movie going experience and Alienware, along with AMD, is excited to add the performance and reliability that Regal and 20th Century Fox count on," said Chris Sutphen, director of marketing, Alienware. "The Alien franchise is right up our alley and the Alien Covenant In Utero VR experience is a great example of how VR can add something new and interesting for moviegoers at participating Regal Cinemas."

The traveling event will run in select Regal Cinemas from Thursday to Sunday beginning May 4 and concluding on June 4. The theaters will feature several Oculus Rift demo kiosks where viewers can immerse themselves in the powerful content before or after their movie.
