Alien Series for Hulu is official

ninXeno426
MemberPraetorianDecember 10, 2020Well after tons of speculation and rumors it's finally official that Alien is finally getting a streaming series via Hulu. I'll post the link below.
All that's known so far is apparently It'll be Earth set and Ridley Scott seems to be producing. Let's discuss shall we?
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for
Another thing to Consider...
While its GREAT NEWS that Disney are willing to allow FX to Explore the Alien Franchise, a BIG thing is the FALL OUT from Alien covenant.... IF we get a TV Show thats VERY much ALIEN/ALIENS with Xenomorphs that are THROWN IN after say 1/3rd of Season 1... if this does-not WORK OUT... then it could mean LESS LIKELY that Disney would do a Movie!
Have they got a Movie in the Works? or was what RS had indicated before is just a TV Series?
Anyway so what i am trying to say is HOW MUCH of a Budget is going to be Given? Because this has a Effect on WHAT you can SHOW as FAR as the Special Effects and SETS and getting some known Cast in.
Disneys Success with The Mandalorian came at about $100M for 8 Episodes, with a $10-12M Budget per Episode then a ALIEN TV Show could give us Somewhat Epic Battles and SETS and Effects and Xenomorphs!
Where as Raised by Wolves had a Much Lower Budget!
IF the Show will have a LOWER Budget of say $5M per Show then having it SET on Earth would SAVE on Money for Effects, having it set say 20-50 Years from NOW would mean LESS of the Space Explorations and Ships which SAVES on Effects and SETS.
Not having something too like the Xenomorphs could SAVE on the Budget...
Within the ALIEN Universe and Connected to Earth then a LOT has gone on that leads to Yutani and Weyland and maybe other Companies who are in Competition. Could some of these had Conducted Experiments to CREATE something that Many Years latter with the Discovery of the Derelict they Discover another Engineered Bio-Weapon that Surpasses Everything that some Companies had Attempted to Engineer on Earth.
Hense GREAT INTEREST in ALIEN...
When you look at the Future on Earth, and THROW OUT the Moral Compass and you ADD to it Greed, than to WHAT kind of Extent could Mankind go and Create something be it A.I/Robots, Clones/Replicants or something more Sinister!
So such a Plot could Connect and UPLIFT our Franchise in Context to the Company Agenda!
If this does well but Fans want more of a Connection to ALIEN... well a Season 2 could go Forwards like 50, 75, 100 Years and so be in the ALIEN MOVIE Franchise Time-Line and Connect more to our Xenomorph etc ;)

What I'm interested in is the casting! Should give us a clue for the shows direction. Unknown cast or maybe some semi-star actors? Doubt they'll get a-list actor...but maybe some guest appearances.
As long as they aren't adapting The Earth War trilogy I'm open. Nothing screams "we're out of ideas" more than turning to old comics for inspiration.
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for
You all sound like juvenile school girls in locker room talking about which boyfriends interest you most.
But besides these embarrassing unnecessary and painful things what bothers me more is fact that this entire program will never be made...Disney is a big liar and always has been.
They say they will do this and that of course they never do.
Disney does not even have a script for this show. It has no ideas and does not even know what it could or could not produce...so this is big no no in the entertainment industry...it is worse than lies to hard earning paying public that has supported this franchise.
In this life never promise a thing and not deliver. This is very bad mistake of Disney executive dogs.
When you say a thing you must do a thing or else.
Or else the people who are smart enough can never trust you again. So time and again Disney talks so much about this or that project but never does what come out of it's mouth.
@BlackAnt
I Guess all we can do is WAIT and see, then we will KNOW if Disney are just toying with us......
@Roger G
I think what we have to look at is the TIME-LINE if they are going to give us Xenomorphs or something that is Related (so has its Origins from LV-223/426) then you CANT go and make a TV Show with such that is SET say prior to 2100 as it would CONFLICT the Franchise.
Unless as we see with Comics and Novels we could get some alternative Time Lines.... oh well maybe we would see a Spider Man vs Alien TV show instead lol i wonder if Ant-Man could Control the Xenomorph ;)
But on a Serious Note then its also a case of WHAT would the Fans see as Relatble to the ALIEN Franchise... the Main things are Ripley and the Xenomorph, then you would have to say the Weyland-Yutani Company and Synthetics and Colonial Marines. Thats without looking at the Space Jockey/Engineers which are also VERY Connected to our Franchise Origins.
If we are having a TV Show that is SET much prior to the ALIEN Franchise, so we looking at 2040-2080 say and its SET on Earth, i think that THROWS out the Window Ripley and Xenomorphs. Oh and Space Jockey/Engineers too.
Your then your left with Weyland and Yutani, maybe the Marines and Synthetics... if you ALSO take them out then its HOW can this TV show Constitute itself to being within the ALIEN Universe?
I think the KEY thing is to wonder Exactly to WHERE in the Near Future are we talking to me the Near Future has to mean within like a Generation from Now.
Also to be SET on Earth means we maybe WONT be seeing so much Space Ships and Interstellar Travel. Looking at the ALIEN Franchise in 2122 you get the Impression that Mankind may have been Interstellar Space Faring for like 50-75 Years.
How would they do a ALIEN TV Show if the Time-Line is 2047-2072? Would there be enough to have Fans see and Accept its within the ALIEN UNIVERSE.... as some had a Hard Time into buying into Prometheus being Connected.
R.I.P Sox 01/01/2006 - 11/10/2017
Earth is filled with enough horrors and evils. We lock our doors for a reason...with or without xenos running loose! So set on Earth is a step backwards imho.. The are bound to make a hero of the xeno at some point. ( killing some really bad dude Carter Burke style )
Wow, a very good idea! Aliens are not evil. They live as they can. Over time, they will learn, and together with people will defeat WY and build a joint future.
Aliens are not enemies to us. They are a budding civilization and they need a helping hand!
"Aliens are not enemies to us. They are a budding civilization and they need a helping hand!"
Well Ripley did say "You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage."
When i was Pondering as to WHAT we could be in Store for, and i put about WHAT IF someone on Earth had been Playing Dr Moreau and Creating/Engineering a Life-form which could UPLIFT the Agenda of the Company when they Discover another Engineered Life-Form that is 100% ALIEN...
Well as Dr Shaw would say "we were Wrong" well i was ;)
This Promotional Image does seem to Indicate the Series will FEATURE the Xenomorph at some point.
So IF this is the Case then is this Series a Reboot/Alternative? It is to ALIEN as the Dark Knight Series is to the 90's Batman Movies?
If NOT then HOW does this TV series AVOID any conflict with the Franchise if its ON EARTH and SET to be prior to ALIEN or ALIENS?
If you set in after ALIENS and had it that this is WHY the Earth looked in Bad Shape in ALIEN R then surely if they had MASS Xenomorph interaction on Earth then SURELY they could recover something and NOT have to resort to the Ripley DNA!
So you have to be Careful and to NOT go and Conflict/Contradict the Franchise, but if this TV show will have Xenomorphs and be set what 2030-2080 say then thats going to be UNLIKELY.
Looking at the Image i Posted.... then we see what look like Structure that we would see with a Engineer/Space Jockey Ship...
How can we be SET on Earth, and have a Engineer/Space Jockey Ship or some Construction and introduce the Xenomorph and NOT go and Conflict the Franchise?
Well MAYBE the Plot has been Covered a bit on HERE in the Past i think maybe GAVIN had suggested this but Forgive if i am Wrong?
What IF someone Discovers a Engineer/Space Jockey Ship at the BOTTOM of the SEA?
IF you think thats a BIT CRAZY!.... Go and STUDY the Promotional Image by FX that i Posted and you will NOTICE what seems to be a Partially Flooded Interior of some Structure or Ship that has the Derelict/Juggernaught Aesthetic
Such a PLOT i guess could be set say 2035-2075 (Earlier the Better as FAR as a Cover Up) and so we have Mankinds First Encounter with the Xenomorph on Earth but this GETS COVERED UP after i assume the Ship/Specimens are DESTROYED?
Then Many Years Latter we have WY go and Discover the LV-426 Signal and Realize they could get their HANDS on the Organism again!
The Problem i have with such a IDEA would be that it would Conflict the Prequels, Certainly would make it UNLIKELY for David to have Created the Xenomorph.. but WHO KNOWS if the TV Series will REMOVE the Prequels from Canon?
The other Problem and Especially if its Set in the NOT to Distant Future is in Part we have a UNDERWATER meets ALIEN that then Expands to well... a AVPR minus Predators.

Gentleman,
I am calling this meeting to order....as you know I put out some real zingers there previously; however, I wanted to cut the BS a little bit and get down to some real business because hey why not.
First things first. I really like a lot of the ideas that everyone has stated...these are all valid, arguments, concerns, and expectations.
With that being said this brings us to our first problem.
Please everyone listen closely because I believe after enough years of seeing these productions I have a little expertise, as well as all of you, when it comes to being able to discern what we will get in terms of production from the new TV show.
First of all you never let your most profitable franchises go to television or cable. This in my most professional opinion means Disney no longer values any Alien production for the big screen. That being stated this a mixed blessing in disguise for all of us.
We are all well aware that movie theater chains around the world have gone bankrupt. So this leaves subscription based services as the only show in town. I am not sure the executives know if they can commoditize the formulas for digital distribution to make this work for subscription based networks.
We must also realize that what ever we are about to see produced may not have a very large budget. Disney plans to get every last dollar out of everything else that it can before the those productions lose momentum.
I think we will see something along the lines of a combination of action, long format drama - Earth soap opera, sci-fi, for the 20 - 60 age group.
I have seen other productions that Disney has done recently and I believe they are handing this off to the HULU division to keep the hard core gore in this production. So this is good right? Hulu is not well associated with the Disney's family entertainment titles.
I think we should be prepared to see a lower budget hard R teaser season that falls in line with subscription based content of similar value and worth to the parent company.
So everyone stay positive in that this will be successful for what might be a very long set of seasons. However, I would never expect to see anything Alien ever again in the theaters. Disney is producing many other titles that bring more synergy overall their other larger assets.
So for example, we all know there will be a Marvel super hero's based portion of the theme parks soon when they all safely reopen to the public. This does not mean there will ever be an Alien section because this part of their assets is not family friendly.
This is my two cents as to what we might see at Hulu. Legion was very Dark so there is every chance that Alien can stay true to cannon and is in good hands.
I am also very happy just to have Alien moving forward with a great subscription based service. Let's all hope there is enough viewers out there for Hulu to make this very successful and very profitable.
The reality is that viewership has waned and changed as we see from the box office numbers with AC. You never know though. They could produce something very interesting and creative with a lower budget and we might just get lucky!
Just so you all know I think we should do everything and anything to keep this alive....so I want a bug hunt starship troopers episode. I want a romance story angle, and many many other things.....we must test this and see what audiences will latch onto. Keep the faith my brothers! And keep the dream alive!
Also I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and good tidings. I also want to wish everyone a safer and more prosperous new year in 2021 and most of all I want extend a very warm welcome back to BigDave again for continuing to keep this community so very alive....Do not ever leave us again BigDave...you gave us all a horrible fright. I do not know what we do with out you and that goes for the rest of you! Hugs and good spirts all around!
Cheers everyone all around!
Exhale. Nobody is going to remove your precious prequels from canon. It's just your imagination based on the sad fear. If you can't sync prequels and TV shows, it doesn't mean that others can't. You calculate years, events, try to connect them and get overthinking, as result.
Plus, there is no conflict with the prequels. There is no evidence that David created an alien.
I can connect any movie with the prequels in one paragraph:
David created a xenomorph, like many before him. But this is not the creation - it is the restoration of the true form of the beast from the black goo into which it was turned. Everyone is capable of this: engineers, androids, humans, others. Neomorphs and others creatures are just hybrid mutants, a soft, wild form of the alien. David didn't create - he recreated a xenomorph.
Why thanks BlackAnt and indeed hopefully 2021 will be a Much Better year for everyone.
"First of all you never let your most profitable franchises go to television or cable."
I think you could have Expanded Universe as a TV Show but its again would anything that does not RELATE to what the General Public and some Fans would ASSUME that the ALIEN Franchise has to be about which would be the Xenomorph.
"I would never expect to see anything Alien ever again in the theaters"
I think this depends on the Viability of the Franchise its kind of RAN out of Steam a bit, the Prequels let it out the BOX and i am Concerned that Disney will put it back in the BOX, LV-426, Earth... Eggs... YAWN!
But there would be a Market for a STARSHIP Troopers meets ALIEN especially for the Millennials, i think a LOT will depend on WHAT the TV Show is like and if its VERY ALIEN with Xenomorph shown a Fair Amount and a LOT of Running and Screaming and Shooting..
Then if the TV Show kinda Bombs and Sucks then YES it could be UNLIKELY we see a Movie... if the TV Show does WELL then it increases the Chances of a Movie.
Now i DONT own the Franchise i am but ONE small % of the Fanbase, and there is a Market for the Comic like take on the Franchise and IF this is what they FEEL will make the Money then so be it, i could look at the Series as i would with AVP... In that i could consider it as Alternative Canon... HOWEVER... i should NOT go and Write the Show Off just yet.....
I am just Concerned that we would be Confined to LV-426 and Earth and our Eggs which is ok, but i think you can EXPAND beyond that.... which the Prequels showed a Glimmer of what can be done... before... AC and bring back the Xenomorph.. which was DONE in the Wrong way!

"Exhale. Nobody is going to remove your precious prequels from canon"
Bit Harsh! but i guess expected.... they are NOT my Precious Prequels and WE DONT know what Direction the Franchise will take NOW....
I do like the Prequels because of HOW it offered us a Expansion Beyond the Seeing the Eggs and Stuff over and over. Some stuff may have NOT been to every Fans liking but i think if you went back to 2010 and decided you will have NO PREQUEL... and NO SEQUEL to Alien R then its WHERE do you go? How many times can you have Eggs and Queens before it becomes Repetitive or a Starship Poopers?
What i am Concerned with is HOW the Show could Conflict with Continuity but then the Franchise has NOT really Considered such things much in the Past anyway ;)
Looking at the Movie Franchise (not Novels where between Movies/Cryo-sleep our Ripley went on Adventures).
We had ALIEN..... and the Indication we got was the Company is aware of the Xenomorph but maybe it does-not know a LOT about it.... it Certainly had NOT seemed like they was aware of or Encountered something like the ALIEN like MANY Years before.
With the Prequels... then you would think the After-Math of the Prometheus Mission could maybe had led to someone going to LV-223 and take a Interest and then from THIS they Discover LV-426 and Special Order 937 is Born!
With Alien Covenant and the Advent then we would have to ASSUME that from the Advent could lead to the Events/Information that would lead to Special Order 937.
IF the TV Show is set say within 2030-2080 and we get Xenmorphs on Earth, then this could Conflict a bit, Especially if we have Weyland-Yutani at Play and we get a Fair Share of Xenomorphs vs Military.....
Because with the Prequels it seemed that by 2090 then the Company and Mankind had NEVER gone and Encountered the Xenomorph or anything related or seen the Derelict or anything related.
IF they go to Retcon the Sequels then they dont have to WORRY about Stepping on the Toes of it..... you see maybe some on Earth had encountered the Xenomorph and Space Jockey Tech prior to ALIEN.. say 60-80 Years prior and then it ENDED with NOTHING to be Had or they ABANDON the Pursuit and BRUSH IT under the Carpet...
That could work... because its WHAT happened between 2122 and 2179 and then EVEN LONGER between 2180-2380 if you get what i mean?
" There is no evidence that David created an alien."
There is the Indication he had... but we dont have a Conclusion and so someone could TAKE his Work and Finish it off....
"David created a xenomorph, like many before him. But this is not the creation - it is the restoration of the true form"
You could go for that there are some Differences that allow us to Ponder such.... a Example is Davids Xenomorph has Quicker Gestation, its more Organic and is Fully Formed as a Chest Buster... it seems more of a Evolution aside from being more Organic.
I think they should have made his Xenomorph look more Different still..... and have him Explain he has Evolved what the Engineers had Abandoned... He had said the Xenomorph is his Wolf and the Engineers had Abandoned theirs.. (but that could be the Deacon and Similar).
With Prometheus it was more SIMPLE.... we should have been able to Conclude that the Xenomorph was related to the LV-223 Experiments... it was either a Engineered Outcome of the Black Goo Experiments, a Accidental Outcome or a Natural Evolution of the Pathogen. But it was also OPEN to Speculate if the Xenomorph was the STARTING POINT ;)
This could be FIXED by having David go and Explain that these Engineers who Seeded Worlds and Evolved them with their DNA had came across something they Admired and saw as Perfection and they attempted to take its Traits to Evolve and Create NEW Life.... but the Uncontrollable Nature of the Beast they tried to Extract its Traits from kept coming through, you cant STOP the EVOLUTION of such Perfection!
The Engineers abandoned their Horrors, trying to take Perfection and Extract it to Evolve/Utilize it and Create other LIFE in its Image. I have seen the Perfection in what they Feared and Abandoned and i WILL NOT stop until i have Harnessed the Pathogen to Recreate the ORIGINAL BEAST!
Something like that from Davids own Mouth could work.... i know ADF had added kind of similar, well that David found a Egg as it was... but then you got to ask HOW STUPID and WHY would the Engineers keep such a thing?

R.I.P Sox 01/01/2006 - 11/10/2017
In case you haven't noticed, David is a pathological liar and ignorant with disproportionate pride.
I also think that we cannot take additional material on a serious note, like Advent. It is not a part of the film and is comparable to the mention of LV-426 in the additional materials to Prometheus. Yes, it looks interesting and intriguing, but nothing more.
>>>but then you got to ask HOW STUPID and WHY would the Engineers keep such a thing?
It looks like they were naive. In the end, they didn't bother to protect their home.
"Yes, it looks interesting and intriguing, but nothing more"
I think the same applies to other Material though, Novels (where Parts are Different to the Movie) the Commentary and Comments by Director etc.
As INDEED things Shown in the Movie are what STAY and with Continuation then things can be CHANGED. I think its Better to have some kind of Continuity but that USUALLY goes out the Window a bit with each Director and Writer..... I wonder WHAT was in that 10 Page ALIEN Rulebook and HOW MUCH of that would be Considered... but as i said ANYTHING can be Subject to Change... or even Rebooted.
"It looks like they were naive. In the end, they didn't bother to protect their home."
Again thats a Good Point... i have always brought this UP in Regards to the Engineers the ONLY real Explanation i have is that they were so ARROGANT and NAIVE in that they FELT as they was the Creators, then ANY of the Worlds they Seed, Evolve and Visit would NOT be where they are without the Engineers and so WHEN they Abandoned us they likely thought we would REMAIN the same as we was 2000+ Years ago and THUS we are NOT a Threat.
But with the Egg... well thats taking it to STUPID... but this is a addition by ADF and not much Afterthought was given!
If we was to CHOOSE to take that Explanation it would be BETTER to be Expanded on that the Engineers not only KEPT their Knowledge in the Cathedral but that some Parts are like a Museum of Sorts... where they SAFELY have Various Life Forms contained within Protective Glass or likely that are DEAD!
A Place with their History..... where they would take things like a Egg thats deemed Dead to Store and Show as Part of their History.....
something that David could come across and be Curious, he Notices some Connection to LV-223 and he Discovers what it was and using the BLACK GOO he is able to Extract DNA to then Recreate it...
That could work... having a Explanation like that is more LIKELY than the Engineers would just leave LIVE EGGS just Lying about on their so called HOME-WORLD.
I dont think any of this matters much, i feel in 3-5 Years the Prequels will be MOOT as i think the Direction of the TV Series and any Future Movies will IGNORE the Prequels like they NEVER had Existed.
R.I.P Sox 01/01/2006 - 11/10/2017
Who is talking about live eggs? The engineers kept the dead. David found them, extracted the DNA, and modified them.
About the storage of live eggs - I don't think ovomorphs would have survived for so many years, thousands of years. They would be dead anyway. In any case, there is no danger for engineers.
Do people know how to safely use mercury lamps and thermometers? Many people also live close to predators and poisonous creatures - and that's okay. There is the same situation. In general, I do not see anything strange even in living eggs in the home of engineers.
"The engineers kept the dead. David found them, extracted the DNA"
Well i would have to agree if we take it from the NOVEL that the Egg in Question was Found as it was... but then David had said it was Aggressive to thats OPEN to Interpretation.
" I don't think ovomorphs would have survived for so many years"
Well again this Depends on IF we are going to look at and ACCEPT that those Eggs on the Derelict had NEVER been there or Existed prior to Alien Covenant etc.
"In general, I do not see anything strange even in living eggs in the home of engineers"
Well the Xenomorphs is NOT quite the same as some Predators on Earth, it also depends on IF we are looking at a Engineered Killing Machine or some Organism that had been taken from some World to use for Experiments or to be USED as Bio-Logical Warfare.
I think if Planet 4 had Eggs then i dont think the Engineers would BUILD their Homes so Close to them. We are informed the Engineers had LV-223 likely as they would NOT be so Foolish to Store and Experiment with the Black Goo on their Home-world and i would ASSUME the same would apply to the Xenomorph.
In Context to the TV Series then i dont think any of that would have any Relevance anyway..... apart from it will get us to GO..... oh! so we have Xenomorphs on the Rampage in 2030-2080 lets say, and so then we go... WELL THATS PROVED that David is NOT the Creator...
I feel that Disney would want to Distance away from the Prequels and i think they would be REMOVED as Canon, but then i think Eventually they are going to have to Answers the Origins and WHO was the Space Jockey... Lets HOPE that IF this is the Case they do something that can OPEN THE BOX of the Franchise again... instead of KEEP IT INSIDE....
Only Time will tell.... I just HOPE we dont get a AVPR without the Predators.... but you can see that such a PLOT (on Earth say 2025-2050) means Less/No Space Technology and Advanced Weapons which means its Cheaper for the Budget.
