Finally, A Real Glimpse Of Alien: Earth | popgeeks.com
The next big Alien release isn’t a movie, it’s a Noah Hawley TV series, and up to this very moment FX has barely let us see any of Alien: Earth, beyond five-second teases of Xenomorph heads and other imagery. This, however? This is the real deal, an actual teaser.
Hawley generally does good work, and we’re pleased with what he came up with for the premise of an Alien show: in a medical first, a small child has had her mind transferred into a robot synthetic body. Now Wendy has a lot of growing up to do — but she has no idea how much! A spaceship crashes into the megacity of Prodigy, containing alien lifeforms from across the universe — including THAT one. At least on Earth, someone will be able to hear Wendy scream.
One element of Alien Earth that has potential is the fact that we’re NOT just getting Xenomorphs here. There are some new creatures in this trailer we know nothing about, and the unknown is scarier. I’ve been saying for a long time the Alien franchise could be fresher than it is if it would invent some new aliens.
Alien Earth stars Sydney Chandler as Wendy, Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh, Alex Lawther as Hermit, Samuel Blenkin as Boy Kavalier, Babou Ceesay as Morrow, Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins, David Rysdahl as Arthur Sylvia, Essie Davis as Dame Sylvia, Lily Newmark as Nibs, Erana James as Curly, Adarsh Gourav as Slightly, Jonathan Ajayi as Smee, Kit Young as Tootles, Diêm Camille as Siberian, Moe Bar-El as Rashidi, and Sandra Yi Sencindiver as Yutani. The show premieres on FX and Hulu August 12.
