Sci-Fi Alien: Earth (Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott) | FX on HULU

[TheVileOne]

Synopsis: When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat in FX’s “Alien: Earth.”

In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this corporate era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the wunderkind founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named “Wendy” marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani’s spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life-forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.

The premise sounds more like Ghost in the Shell.

I hope we get some Three World Empire stuff. Always thought it was pretty cool that they took the patch and expanded on it in other media to explain the historical and political landscape of the Alien universe.

[Still Wynning]

My interest level just went from “I’m slightly intrigued“ to “I need this yesterday“.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah this looks awesome and we are definitely getting more than just Xenomorphs being the main threat in this show.

I'm expecting a lot of cool hybrid stuff which they have obviously teased a lot of in this franchise before but I'm hoping they really go crazy with it here with other alien and animal species being involved.

Either way I'm excited asf right now.

 

[Kane52630]

We are so f**kin back.

 

[Drizzle]

Finally, they're delivering on the promise from the Alien 3 teaser.

 

[Punisher_MAX]

I love that we're getting another proto Pulse Rifle in this series.

 

[TheVileOne]

I didn't love the trailer. It seemed a bit scattered and unfocused to me. The production values look good, though.

The Alien franchise has burned me too many times to go all in with this.

 

[Filmfreak]

It's Noah Hawley so he most certainly has earned my trust.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

This looks phenomenal.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

This is looking like the best time for the Alien and Predator franchises since their early era, now at the new 20th Century Studios. I hope they keep it that way on FX/Hulu as well.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah this looks really good. I like how they have kept it isolated from the rest of Earth as it needed to be.

 

[Sithborg]

So, probably a little Robocop with my Alien. Should be good.

 

[squeekness]

I'm ready!

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Sithborg]

The xeno doing the inner mouth bite, I'm not seeing things am I? Does it look different than the traditional xeno?

 

[TheVileOne]

So the research vessel is a Weyland-Yutani vessel. The city is Prodigy City, which I assume is owned and run by the Prodigy mega-corp. And it's set two years before the original film.

I just hope they ignore connections to Covenant, Engineers, black goo, and all that other nonsense because I hate it.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, they are taking some elements of Prometheus, at least thematically.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[TheVileOne]

I hope we get some Three World Empire stuff. Always thought it was pretty cool that they took the patch and expanded on it in other media to explain the historical and political landscape of the Alien universe.

In the future, the main powers will be the mega corporations, not nations.

[Hunter Rider]

This is looking really impressive, I loved Romulus and this looks like another strong entry to the franchise, and the series format should benefit it.

 

[Kane52630]

Some of that camera work reminds me of his work on Legion. Nice.
