Noah Hawley’s Alien Show Plans Make Things Simple

Everything we know about the past few years Noah Hawley’s coming soon alien The show is exactly that and more about Corporate aspects Horror series.As a prequel, it has a lot of work to do because it has to explain some things, which is a problem the series has had before Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

in a recent interview KCRW Business, Hawley was asked if he would use any elements from either film. Two prequels (closer to the show’s franchise timeline than the first) alien) reveals that the xenomorph is a violent biological weapon created by a race known as the Engineers.In reference to the first how alien Hawley called the aliens “the perfect life form” and said the Engineers would not have a place on his show. To him, the reason Alien is so scary is because it has existed for millions of years and evolved naturally into its current form, and he wanted to keep reading. If it sounds like he’s trashing franchise director Ridley Scott, that doesn’t seem to be the case — Hawley revealed that he and Scott spent a lot of time discussing “many, many elements” of the show, to figure out how to bring everything together.

“The idea that it was a bioweapon that was made half an hour ago … is inherently less useful to me,” Hawley explained.A similar mentality was adopted for the show’s final aesthetic: he wanted to go back to the retro-futuristic vibe of the first two films, rather than looking like Prometheus and Covenant. “Some things are incalculable to me. […] There are no holograms. I don’t get to enjoy the convenience of the wonderful technology that is the Apple Store. ”

Holly’s talked about it before About how he didn’t want to mess with the original two alien movies, and how they tell the story of how humanity is simultaneously threatened by a horrific, primitive past and a technologically advanced future. He reiterated this in this new interview, mentioning how the first film asked, “Is humanity worth living?” To that end, he hopes his show will, like the first film, “explore the good and evil of humanity. ”. Hawley admits it won’t be easy considering past (and future) sequels, but he’s not too worried. “I think I have a few tricks up my sleeve,” he quipped slyly.

alien FX will be coming to Hulu in the near future.
