Behind the Scenes of the Alien Earth Trailer

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.”
