The Alien TV show will explore Weyland-Yutani's tech rivals in the field of immortality, says Noah Hawley 👀 '[W]hat if there are other companies trying to look at immortality in a different way, with cyborg enhancements or transhuman downloads?' 😱
Noah Hawley teases his upcoming Alien TV series will introduce multiple new technologies that compete with the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. The popular science-fiction franchise began with Ridley Scott's Alien in 1979, a landmark of sci-fi-horror filmmaking that is still considered one of the best movies ever produced in the hybrid genre.
Though many movies have followed, including a crossover series with the Predator franchise and two prequels from a returning Scott in the 2010s, none have yet managed to live up to the reputation of the first two entries. Fans remain eager for creatives to continue trying, however, and as a result, FX is giving Fargo and Legion creator Hawley a crack at a new Alien show set on Earth, a first for the franchise.
Alien is a fascinating story because it's not just a monster movie; it’s about how we're trapped between the primordial past and the artificial intelligence of our future, where both trying to kill us. It’s set on Earth of the future. At this moment, I describe that as Edison versus Westinghouse versus Tesla. Someone’s going to monopolize electricity. We just don't know which one it is.
While the Alien films understandably focus a lot of attention on the Xenomorph, the androids developed by Weyland-Yutani also play important roles, with 2012's Prometheus making clear that their complex AI is being developed as a way of pursuing human immortality. Hawley seems to want to run with this idea, and the inclusion of cyborg technology and the downloading of consciousness in his show could push the franchise in an exciting new direction.
Hawley's comments tease a very different Alien than fans have seen so far, which is to be expected from the experienced showrunner - Fargo in particular has earned significant praise from critics and fans alike for the way it reinvented the 1996 Coen brothers film of the same name. The show won't be without controversy, however, as Scott, despite reportedly serving as an executive producer on the FX project, recently said the series won't be as good as his original Alien movie.
