Alien: Earth Executive Director Noah Hawley continues to talk about his next series and now he’s teasing a new “disturbing” xenomorph race.
In the series, “When a mysterious spaceship lands on Earth, a young woman (Patricia of Sydney) and a motley crew of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that brings them face to face with the greatest threat on the planet.”
While I was talking to Expiration At the Emmy Awards, Hawley offered his take on the series’ xenomorphs, saying, “There’s something special about seeing a xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes.
“It is truly terrifying to think of him moving among us, and so I cannot tell you under what circumstances you will see him, but you will see him… and that night you will lock the door.
“What I really enjoyed was interacting with the creature, bringing some of my thoughts to the design without touching the silhouette, because that is sacred.”
He then spoke about the creature’s look, saying, “But some of the elements as we know, whatever the host is, inform what the final creature is. I just wanted to play around a little bit to make it as scary as it should be.”
It will be really interesting to see what Hawley has planned for some of these alien xenomorph creatures. Hawley’s comments suggest we’ll see a Face-hugger attach itself to a non-human host.
This is not the first time this has happened Alien 3 introduced the “dog-buster”.
The story of the series is set three decades before the events of by Ridley Scott 1979 classic Alien and a few years before PrometheusThe series will see the characters “caught in a conflict between the dawn of artificial intelligence and the competition between developers and users.”
Hawley previously said of the story: “It’s set on a future Earth. Right now, I describe it as Edison versus Westinghouse versus Tesla. Somebody’s going to monopolize electricity. We just don’t know which one.”
He continued: “In the movies, we have this Weyland-Yutani Corporation, which is clearly also developing artificial intelligence, but what if there were other companies trying to look at immortality in a different way, with cyborg augmentations or transhuman downloads? Which of these technologies is going to win?”
This series will combine “the timeless horror of the first Alien film with the non-stop action of the second, making it a thrilling and terrifying journey that will keep everyone glued to the screen.”
Hawley also said: “It’s about how we’re caught between the primordial past and the artificial intelligence of our future, where both [are] trying to kill us.
“It’s set on a future Earth. Right now, I describe it as Edison versus Westinghouse versus Tesla. Someone’s going to monopolize the electricity. We just don’t know which one.”
He continued, “I thought it would be interesting to open it up a little bit so that the stakes of ‘What if you can’t contain it?’ are more immediate.”
The show also features the participation of Alex Lawther (The end of the fucking world) as the male protagonist, a soldier named CJ, with Samuel Blenkin (Black Mirror) as another main character named Boy Kavalier, a CEO. Other cast members include Essie Davis (The Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries) like Lady Silvia, Timothy OliphantAND Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger) as Lightly.
