One Final "Homage" Trailer For ALIEN: EARTH, Which Premieres Today
FX released one final “Homage” trailer for Alien: Earth, the first two episodes of which drop today. The trailer is a riff on the classic Alien teaser.
Created and directed by Noah Hawley, the series is set to premiere this August and promises a gripping new take on the franchise.
The story kicks off when a specimen collection ship crash lands on Earth, pulling a woman played by Sydney Chandler and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers into a terrifying discovery that threatens the planet. The ensemble cast also includes Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Moe Bar-El, and Adarsh Gourav.
Hawley calls the series “a character study.” While the trailers have hinted at the horror and scale. The series explaores human conflicts, and how the classic themes of corporate greed and survival are being twisted into something new. Expect plenty of sci-fi awesomness, power struggles, and existential dread wrapped in a world that feels both familiar and terrifyingly fresh.
The series takes place two years before Ellen Ripley’s first encounter in Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic, following a tactical unit sent to investigate the Maginot after its catastrophic landing.
This series explores the fascinating concept of a human mind being transferred into a Synthetic body. That character is Wendy, who’s played by Sydney Chandler. This new footage hints that this new technology comes with consequences.
The series is set 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).
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, ‘Wendy’ and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
According to previously released details, the series will feature five different monsters, making this easily one of the most creature-heavy entries in the franchise’s history.
Enjoy the show when you watch it! It’s pretty freakin’ badass!
