FX's Landgraf calls Hulu-show first 'Alien' story set on Earth
FX chairman John Landgraf announced the Alien TV series, calling the Hulu show the first Alien series taking place on Earth. "It's the first 'Alien' story set on Earth, and by blending both the timeless horror of the first 'Alien' film with the non-stop action of the second, it's going to be a scary thrill ride," said Landgraf.
This will be a blend of 1979, 1986 films
This series is slated to mix in the 1979 film and the 1986 James Cameron-directorial, which went by the name of Aliens. Unlike Alien, Aliens did not win any Academy Award and neither was it shown the same love by viewers, though the latter got a nomination in the Best Actress category for Sigourney Weaver. Weaver played the character of Lieutenant Ellen Ripley.
