I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we’ve (for the most part) stopped watermarking our exclusives. I personally enjoy a clean, high resolution shot from a film, which is what we always strive to share with you guys. This is why I always hunt down these hi-res shots after they debut elsewhere (see this Pennywise shot from It).
Next up is this super high quality shot from Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, which displays crew member Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice, Jobs, The Babysitters) doing her best impersonation of Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). Carrying some sort of rifle, Waterston looks straight out of James Cameron’s Aliens, getup and all. Could there be a family connection?

Michael Fassbender is returning as Prometheus‘ android David (and Walter), with a crew that includes Demian Bichir and Danny McBride (“Eastbound and Down”), as well as Alex England (Gods of Egypt), Billy Crudup, Amy Seimetz (A Horrible Way to Die, “The Killing”), Jussie Smollett (“Empire”), Carmen Ejogo, and Callie Hernandez (Machete Kills). James Franco is also rumored to be among the crew.
Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Scott had previously promised to answer questions that left Prometheus viewers confused: “Covenant is really going to show you who did it and why.”
Alien: Covenant takes off for Paradise on May 19, 2017.
