#Alien news release movie#

Noah has an incredible ability to both find a way of being faithful and showing fidelity to an original creation, like to the Coen brothers or to Ridley ScottвЂ™s movie and James CameronвЂ™s follow-up Aliens, but also to bring something new that represents both an extension and reinvention of a franchise at the same time. All I can tell you is Ripley wonвЂ™t be a part of it, and neither will any other characters, other than the alien itself. It takes place on our planet, near the end of this century weвЂ™re currently in, 70-odd years from now. ItвЂ™s the first story in the Alien franchise that takes place on Earth. He offered these key details about the series' set and setting: A lien takes place before Ripley. вЂњSheвЂ™s one of the great characters of all time, and I think the story has been told pretty perfectly, and I donвЂ™t want to mess with it.вЂќДЇX chief John Landgraf confirms that it's not just Ripley getting a well-deserved vacation-it's her entire crew. (Somewhere, Ripley is breathing a sigh of relief.) вЂњItвЂ™s not a Ripley story,вЂќ Hawley said. Hawley is quick to point out that heвЂ™s not planning to send the franchiseвЂ™s greatest character through the Xenomorph ringer again. Speaking of Sigourney Weaver: donвЂ™t expect to see Ellen Ripley here. At least they don't fuck each other over for a percentage.' In the movies, we have this Weyland-Yutani Corporation, which is clearly also developing artificial intelligence-but what if there are other companies trying to look at immortality in a different way, with cyborg enhancements or transhuman downloads? Which of those technologies is going to win? ItвЂ™s ultimately a classic science fiction question: does humanity deserve to survive? As Sigourney Weaver said in that second movie, 'I don't know which species is worse. SomeoneвЂ™s going to monopolize electricity. At this moment, I describe that as Edison versus Westinghouse versus Tesla. In an exclusive interview with Esquire, Hawley discussed the sea of competition his big baddies will face in the new series: ItвЂ™s set on Earth of the future.

If we as a society canвЂ™t figure out how to prop each other up and spread the wealth, then whatвЂ™s going to happen to us?' вЂњSo you will see what happens when the inequality weвЂ™re struggling with now isnвЂ™t resolved. вЂњIn, youвЂ™re also going to see the people who are sending them,вЂќ Hawley said. But it actually takes place in the territory of a different corporation that Noah invented.вЂќ But don't expect any familiar framing here Hawley plans to widen the lens from the franchiseвЂ™s usual вЂњgrunts,вЂќ with an added emphasis on the corporate raiders dispatching them into deep space. There are references to that corporation in this show.

FX chief John Landgraf confirms that the series will focus on a new corporate baddie, telling IndieWire, 'Weyland-Yutani has been an important component of the movies. In later installments of the Alien franchise, that вЂњfaceless nameless corporationвЂќ was sketched in as the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, a big bad mega-corporate profiteer whose activities include deep space transport, planetary colonization, and terraforming (to say nothing of their shady business studying Xenomorphs). Alien Covenant Lets You Burst Out of a Human Host.The second movie is such an вЂ™80s movie, but itвЂ™s still about grunts.вЂќ TheyвЂ™re like Samuel Beckett characters, ordered to go to a place by a faceless nameless corporation. вЂњYou know, one of the things that I love about the first movie is how вЂ™70s a movie it is, and how itвЂ™s really this blue collar space-trucker world in which Yaphet Kotto and Harry Dean Stanton are basically Waiting for Godot. вЂњOn some level itвЂ™s also a story about inequality,вЂќ Hawley said in that same conversation. Discussing his inspiration for where to take the franchise, Hawley points to the seriesвЂ™ long engagement with working class characters, from interstellar merchants to Marines on assignment. With an Earth setting comes Earth problems-namely, income inequality. I thought it would be interesting to open it up a little bit so that the stakes of вЂWhat happens if you canвЂ™t contain it?вЂ™ are more immediate.вЂќ вЂњTrapped in a prison, trapped in a spaceship.

вЂњThe Alien stories are always trapped,вЂќ Hawley told Vanity Fair. HawleyвЂ™s Alien will blast out of the airlock with one huge departure from what fans of the franchise know and love: the story will be set on Earth.

Read on for the full rundown of what to expect. And now, new details are emerging about how the series will square up with canon. The show is still in early development, but in an interview with Esquire, Hawley teases an interpretation that blends the franchiseвЂ™s classic creature feature structure with a modern parable about corporate greed.
