Alien Romulus is a hit and the franchise is far from over. A new series is coming soon to Disney+ and it is extremely promising.
The franchise Foreigner is not dead, quite the opposite. Even if the first film seems terribly distant, the saga has not aged at all. After Prometheus and Federalthis is the very latest The alien Romulus who has come to make his contribution. Director: Fede Alvarez (evil Dead – 2013), the film largely convinced the audience and the press in general. It must be said that the film not only offers interesting ideas, but also returns to the roots of the franchise by adding a dose of tongue-in-cheek. Its heroine, played by the brilliant Cailee Spaeny (Civil War
After the success of Romulusanother series to watch
Romulus is very good, it is a real hit and it will be difficult to catch up. We do not know if there will be a sequel, but the saga will soon include a completely new series that will take place on Earth. Here we are far from what the franchise has presented us so far, since it will happen at home, nothing more, nothing less. The only time the creature came to Earth was to fight predators in very average and much too dark environments Aliens vs Predator Requiem.
In E arth
The main showrunner Noah Hawley (Fargo), states that in Alien Earthwe find all the ingredients of an excellent film Foreigner. So of course we expect suspense, survival and blood. “It’s something special to see a xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes. It’s really scary to think that this is happening right here among us.”indicates the showrunner.
He also claims that he skillfully edited the creature to make it fearsome. “What I really enjoyed was really getting to grips with the creature and bringing some of my own ideas into the design without ever touching its silhouette, because that is sacrosanct. But we know some of the elements [du xénomorphe]Independently of the host, determine what it will look like upon arrival. So I just wanted to play with it a bit to make it as spooky as possible. »
Big promises on paper that we find a little difficult to imagine at the moment, since the only teaser we’ve had so far is too discreet to make anything of it and the Xenomorph featured is nothing special.
Alien Earth will go even further than the films
Noah Hawley also adds that his series will go even further than the films by offering something beyond a simple survival series. “Films are survival stories, they’re enough for two hours, but if you want to make them more than 30 hours, you need a bigger dramatic story.”
We also remember that the showrunner had previously hinted that the series would also revolve heavily around people and their relationships. We’ll see, as long as it doesn’t drift into the melodramatic, we’re not really here for it and for the universe of itForeigner would clearly not be appropriate.
See you in 2025 to find out for sure. Alien Earth will be available here on FX, Hulu and Disney+.
