When Alien: Romulus hit the big screen, some cinemas in the United States showed a short teaser trailer for Noah Hawley’s upcoming Alien: Earth. That teaser was later released online to Alien fans worldwide in September, and showed what appeared to be a CGI Alien. Apparently not!
According to a new behind-the-scenes page on the website of Rebecca and Kevin Joelson, the Executive Producer and Director of Photography of the teaser trailer, that teaser actually featured a practical suit of a Xenomorph (which seems to have had the reflection of the Earth applied to it later).
According to the Joelson’s website the teaser was filmed in Bangkok so it’s safe to say that this suit is one constructed by Weta for Alien: Earth, but whether or not they’re using a hero or stunt suit we cannot be certain. This incarnation of the Xenomorph looks to be much more similar to ADI’s take on the design in the later films.
While walking the red carpet at the Emmy’s, The Hollywood Reporter had the chance to talk to showrunner Noah Hawley about the upcoming series where he spoke about whether the approach Alien: Earth would be taking with the series’s effects.
“Mostly practical. I prefer that. Obviously there’s some CG, but I always want to feel it in the space and have the actors reacting to real things. I had a guy in a rubber suit. I had WETA working for me. It’s so exciting.”

I'm excited, is that a bad thing?
I actually believed you, but I see not a single one saying that thankfully.
there are quite a few comments here of people saying they like the design because it reminds them of avp
just in case people want to bemoan the sheer state of it all even more...
They definitely broke embargo.
drop some facehuggers on a zoo..
But you know, it makes me a little sad too. Personally I'm interested in art as the free vision of group of artists, as an unique artistic proposition, not as a smoothed, formatted product tailored to satisfy as many fans as possible.
Focusing on what pleases the most people is what got us the terrible "Get away from her, bitch!" moment in Alien: Romulus, for example. It's a terrible thing.
Someone's gonna get in trouble...
Easily one of the best with his mask on.
Feral is cool, he has a skull mask.
I won't convince the fans of Feral, but nobody will convince me that Feral or Earthy have a good design.
For me they are on the same (lowest) level.
Feral's the worst thing to happen since PDM gave us Genomorphs.
Yep, early on in The Return when James is (re-)introduced.
Is this from Twin Peaks ?
Sorry, for me it's just bad and I'm really surprised that some people actually like it.
but hey, that's ok.
Honestly, I'm the last person who doesn't still give this thing some hope and will cheer loudly if everything turns out well.
But what's shown so far really just looks bad.
That explains the first few inches but that face keeps going.
I like the neomorphs and even the deacon. I'd be down for more bizarre biomechanoids.
This is just a normal alien, done really badly though.
Also frankly you're all so sheepish around this slight Alien redesign. You could appreciate the variations...
That's the song for Prometheus fans when they delude themselves into thinking that we are ever getting a direct sequel to covenant
[this isn't gonna happen]
