12 Images That Will Restore Your Faith In Upcoming Movies

10. Daniels - Alien: Covenant

Why We're Worried: If you saw Prometheus, you're probably at least a little bit nervous that Ridley Scott's new Alien movie could suffer from the same lapses in logic and general lack of satisfaction, decent though it was overall.

Why This Image Rocks: Again, there's every chance those scripting issues may abound again, but the first official image from the movie is pretty much the most Alien-looking thing you've ever seen.

For starters, new protagonist Daniels (played by the fantastic Katharine Waterston) looks like another strong, bada** female lead, and the set design and lighting look like they're going to set a thoroughly sinister, pleasantly familiar style throughout.

Plus, the fact that this film actually has the word "Alien" in the title should mean that it'll be less allergic to actually engaging with the series' mythology in a direct way, so that's something.
