FX Boss Reveals New Details About Upcoming ALIEN TV Series!
A recent interview with FX Chairman John Landgraf has revealed some intriguing new details about Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien TV series setting the stage for all new characters and corporations.
After the success that Disney has had with Hulu’s ‘PREY’ its going to be no surprise that excitement for the upcoming ALIEN tv series, on FX, will be as hot as a flamethrower.
A TV series is in the works from Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley, of course, and FX Chairman John Landgraf has now shared some exciting new details.
Confirming that all scripts have been turned in before shooting begins next year, the executive revealed that the show will move away from familiar settings...and corporations.
Asked if the Weylan-Yutani corporation is a big part of the show, Landgraf said, "The Alien cinematic universe is that it’s a world where that’s sort of dominated by large corporate entities, and Weylan-Yutani has been in an important component of the movies."
"There are references to that corporation in this show.
But it actually takes place in the territory of a different corporation that Noah invented."
That sounds like a fresh start in the same universe to us. The exec goes on to compare and contrast this new shows with the franchises films.
"I’m a big fan of Alien and Aliens and I remember watching both of them in the theater and how how shockingly original and surprising each of them was in its own way," Landgraf explained.
"And so, similar to his approach to Fargo, Noah decided to not to take Ripley or any character from Alien – except perhaps the xenomorph itself – but go back and figure out what made the franchise so great and so durable in the first place and see if he could find an experience that felt like walking into a theater and seeing one of those first two movies, where you get caught off guard."
This is definitely a good thing considering both Prometheus and ALIEN: Convenient didn’t hit well with die-hard fans so something new could bring a great change to the franchise as a whole. We’ll wait and see.
