Well, it’s official! Alien: Covenant, the Prometheus-sequel/Alien-prequel, has finished filming, allowing it to move into the post-production phase.
As part of the celebration, a photo of Katherine Waterston on set has been released and many are comparing her look to that of Sigourney Weaver’s “Ellen Ripley”. I can kinda see where people are coming from as Ripley wore a sleeveless shirt at the end of both Alien and Aliens. Additionally, Ripley has more than a few times had a weapon slung across her chest.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ‘Alien’ with ‘Alien: Covenant’, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with ‘Prometheus’ — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. 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.
Alien: Covenant will come to theaters on August 4th, 2017.
