      Production

      =
      In February 2019, Bloody Disgusting reported that two Alien television series were in development, one animated, Alien: Isolation, and one live-action, from Ridley Scott for the network FX on Hulu. In December 2020, as part of Disney's Investor Day presentation, the latter television series project was officially announced to be in development for the network, with Noah Hawley as showrunner and Scott as executive producer, being set on Earth in the near future. On February 17, 2022, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the series is a prequel taking place before the events of Alien (1979). Hawley himself confirmed that the series will be tied more into the style and mythology of the original 1979 film rather than the prequel films Prometheus (2012), and Alien: Covenant (2017). In April 2023, Landgraf stated that the series was in "active pre-production".


      = Casting

      =
      In May 2023, Sydney Chandler was cast in the lead role, followed by Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, and Adarsh Gourav in July. Timothy Olyphant and David Rysdahl would be among those added to the cast in November 2023.


      = Filming

      =
      Principal photography was scheduled to begin in March 2022, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production on the series began on July 19, 2023, in Thailand. Filming (without American actress Sydney Chandler) was allowed to occur during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike due to the series' British cast working under an Equity contract. In late August, the production was halted due to the strike. Filming resumed in April 2024, and wrapped in mid-July. Steve Annis serves as a cinematographer.


      Release


      In August 2024, a 16 second teaser of the series with a 2025 release date was shown during select screenings of Alien: Romulus.

    • Alien Earth is an isometric pseudo-3D action-adventure game with role-playing elements. It was released for Windows. It was developed by Krome Studios Melbourne, (known as Beam Software at the time) and released in 1998.


      Plot


      What remains of Earth and most of its inhabitants after a nuclear holocaust is dominated and enslaved by the insect-like humanoid Raksha, invaders from another planet. Many years later, only the Resistance remains free, in the sewers of a ruined city. The player takes control of Finn, a villager in a jungle that the Raksha use to hunt their slaves as prey. A Raksha hunting lord marks Finn as a troublemaker, and he must outwit the Raksha, and seek aid wherever he can find it, to survive. His nemesis vanquished, Finn searches for answers about the fate of his civilization in a wartorn city, despite the Scavengers hunting through the ruins for scraps of remaining technology and intruders.


      Gameplay


      Resource management is a key part of the game; items are collected, as in most games, but also combined; the latter is crucial to completing the game. Combining a wooden pole with a metallic blade forms a Spear, for example, or an empty bottle, petrol and a rag cloth to form a molotov cocktail. Separate NPCs make scavenged Raksha weapons usable and sellable, and level up Finn's psionic abilities. Finn's fighting abilities use a skill levelling system; the more Finn uses a weapon, the better he gets at using it.


      Development


      The game was showcased at E3 1997.


      Reception


      Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Well-designed and (mostly) well-implemented, it might not be flashy, but the game possesses a depth and quality that marks it as one of the brighter spots in the lineup this month." PC Action gave the game a rating of 53% and said the game had a good idea but implemented it half-heartedly. PC Zone gave a rating of 60% and said "the storyline is mildly enthralling, but nothing makes you sit up and take notice."
