New Image Of Katherine Waterston From Alien: Covenant Gives Off A Serious Ripley Vibe

The first image of Katherine Waterston has landed from ‘Alien: Covenant’, via Entertainment Weekly, and she gives off a serious Ripley vibe. Waterston stars alongside Noomi Repace, James Franco, Danny McBride, Michael Fassbender, Demian Bichir, Alex England , Billy Crudup, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Carmen Ejogo, and Callie Hernandez. “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.” We will also get to see a new type of Xenomorph, called a “Neomorph” in ‘Covenant’. The Neomorph were created by an infestation of a type of black goo on their planet that allowed the ecosystem to mutate.

New Update On Shane Black’s The Predator

We finally have a new update on Shane Black‘s ‘The Predator’, which is the fourth film in the ‘Predator’ franchise, if you don’t count the two ‘AVP’ films. Last we heard, Benicio del Toro had stepped away from the project due to scheduling issues. Now, ‘Narcos’ actor Boyd Holbrook has stepped in to del Toro’s place, but that is not the only casting news. Reportedly, James Franco is eyeing the lead role of “Quinn McKenna”. 50 Cent is said to have also joined the cast.
