Alien: earthThe creative team has opened the decision to tell their story on the small screen.
So far, each project takes place in the Stranger The universe was a film. Indeed, from the Sigourney Weaver in 1979, starring the original with the pseudo-semel of 2024 Alien: RomulusThe various stories of the science fiction horror frankness were told in cinematographic format.
It changed with FX TV original in Alien: earthwhich will be broadcast on Hulu (US) and Disney + (internationally). Created by the collaborator FX frequent Noah Hawley, who also developed Fargo And Legion For the American television network, Earth break the cycle of almost 50 years of Stranger Stories published exclusively in theaters.
Bringing the property led by the xenomorph to the small screen would not have been possible until a few years ago. Many of the best streaming services in the world, of which Disney +did not exist. In addition, television programs production budgets were lagging behind their silver screen counterparts for decades. However, a sea change caused largely by the rise of the streaming industry has reshaped the landscape and led the stock market ropes loosened by television leaders, allowing creators to make emissions with budgets similar to those of their brothers and film sisters.
This is the end of these financial restrictions that enabled Hawley, producer David W. Zucker and the rest of Alien: earthDistribution and crew to develop a series in eight games with a range to compete with the previous projects of the franchise. However, speaking to me before the release of the show, Hawley and Zucker revealed that there were other reasons why a Stranger The television show was not attended before – and what made them settle on EarthHistory via television media.
“Two hours Stranger The film is a story of survival, right? “Said Hawley.” Aside from the price of what it would be, the obstacle to bring the franchise to television is “well, what other story could we tell?”.
“He [an Alien film] Concerns monsters and people who run for their lives, “Hawley continued.” It is not a television show with power. Part of the reason for which he [Alien: Earth] worked is because I use the IP [intellectual property] as a starting point to explore my own themes and problems, and build a story in the Stranger world. These are challenges with the scale of this show, balancing drama, horror and action, etc., but I think we have accomplished all of this. “”
“The truth is that, corporately, the franchise belongs to the cinematographic division [20th Century Studios]”Adding Zucker.” It only became possible when we had access to it [the Alien franchise] And then tried to find a place, like FX, which would support this type of vision. Fortunately, the long relationship they have with Noah is a dream twinning for us and is the only imaginable way that it could have worked. “”
