While Alien: Romulus unfortunately did not take home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, we were surprised by another Hulu show reel that included some new footage from the upcoming Alien: Earth series! We were able record the snippet from the stream, Check it out below!
At the end of the quick clips we get our first look at the Xenomorph outside of the teaser trailer! Quite oddly… there seems to be what sounds like Predator clicking in the background during the trailer.
We also snapped some stills from the footage:

Maybe dorsal tube length is tied into age or growth? They're maybe shorter on younger individuals? Seems unlikely I know, but as someone who enjoys a long dorsal tube, I'm clinging to hope
Granted though, I also say this as someone who has a figure of Alien 3's runner on my desk. Looks great despite a complete lack of dorsals.
We'll be dropping more of this once the show starts releasing. Got a fair bit to share.
Thanks. Following back to the thread, I can see you said this at the time, so I may have got this idea from you. Credit to you, then, ftr! But the dorsal tubes in the video do look longer than on the suit. Unless I'm just not seeing that right, maybe the concept art was for the design of a suit? Or they changed their minds on dorsal length in post?
i mean we already have the actual creature being revealed in the teasers so far..
That was my thought, originally. But RidgeTop shared a piece of concept art that showed shorter tubes as one of the options they were looking to go with as well.
See:
well, I already mentioned that the show could be good in terms of story.
(even though I doubt this myself at the moment because I expect canonical chaos)
I will definitely watch it anyway.
even though everyone here would say it was crap. It has to be given a chance because we don't know enough.
But a bad xeno design is a big minus point, you can't just brush it aside.
at least we've seen enough of it so far to judge it as not good. at least for now.
and I hope that it's better in the series itself.
but honestly, how likely is that if they're already using it as a flagship?
Noah himself said that he wants to experiment, but that the basic design is sacred.from the looks of it, there's a lot of leeway there.
if someone still likes it, fine.
Maybe the tag line might be -
In space, no one can hear you ...baaaaaaa
Yes

I haven't personally written anything off here yet. I like the look/sound of the show thus far. But I also don't like the Alien itself at all. On a spectrum!
I'm already mental, and complaining about lackluster creature designs is how I vent safely.
It's hard to look at any alien after seeing the big chap pics. It was just so well done and at the bar so ridiculously high.
Okay dude, I'm just reiterating that we've been told that we're getting multiple xenos from different hosts, so try not to disregard 8 hours of alien content due to a 6 second tease
Sorry, I don't buy that
The same teaser confirmed multiple specimens??
We are not getting 1 Alien
AND the tiny clip that was shown during the oscars ad break.
It's THE creature of the show.
there's also no point in making a fully different creature suit specifically for the marketing campaign
(ex: the covenant ad campaign used the covenant suit for comedy sketches etc)
But I could be totally wrong - this could be THE alien of alien earth, and if that's the case I'll eat my words
looks more like a roger corman alien rip off creature

I hope you're prepared to be disappointed.
I guess I'm more optimistic about the way this alien will be presented to us. If it has got a bizarre host with insect style limbs, it will likely be CG and we won't get glimpses of it yet, some costumes are made purposefully with a lack of detail knowing they will work on it in post etc
"Does it look good?"
Absolutely understand the concerns, I guess I'm asking what specifics about the design people do not like.
For me the nose element is strange, the flat panelling on the limbs is odd - I totally get it, I'm just curious to where people are drawing the line on writing the alien off when it's been speculated already that we'll be getting multiple hosts.
I'm not sitting here like a shill i just want to discuss it
The ridiculous distance between the teeth and the dome (joe camel effect), the mouth tendons anchoring way out on the sides on top compared to the lower jaw looking unnatural/cheap, and from the BTS, the dorsal tubes being more like dorsal nubs. Host variance isn't an excuse because you can show host variance without looking trashy.
The fact that it's set on Earth pre-Alien.
That one poor design they showed.
That one poor alien shot they showed.
That's about it. Quite enough to be wary and unoptimistic.
If you go back some dude went on a crazy rant about Noah Hawley, which is more what I was referencing.
Not butt hurt, I'm not even the biggest fan of the design. I just don't objectively see how it's bad.
Opinions here have been very balanced toward giving the show a chance regardless of how bad this effect looks. I don't think there is any reason you should be telling folks to "chill". It vomes off like you're just butt hurt that most of us don't share your opinion.
In the first alien you legit only see it in full when it's blown out the airlock and it looks shite, I'm sure we all agree on that.
Just think ppl need to chill
Bro, you are seeing 10% of the design. And that's generous.
I get the teeth look denture'y but I genuinely cannot fathom how some of you are writing off the series based on a 6 second clip. Please have Hope and atleast give Noah the courtesy of watching his full trailer before trashing him.
Noah has already said that we'll be seeing the xeno with different hosts *hosts* - plural
No doubt the pathogen will play a role as it's produced by Ridley (even if noah seems to be dodging that bullet, I'm certain Ridley will have a say).
We really don't need the alien franchise's fanbase turning into SW
Obviously you're all entitled to your opinion I'm just generally curious to why this seems to be so decisive and definitive.
Looks weird or wrong are probably more suitable words to descride the xeno. But even in this case we should remember about xeno's DNA reflex - it probably came from another alien creature. If not - well, will see.
It's just Bad Taste.
A child made himself a xeno costume and wants to scare people with it, yes?
like the two kids in Jaws, with the homemade shark fin, yes?
Wait a minute, now I have it:
we hear a predator noise,
Feral was infected, that's why the xeno looks like that.
Seriously:
I don't think it would be an excuse to say that this xeno might come from another host. He's just not good looking to say the least.
No matter which Host it is, it has to look good, my goodness. The budget could be the Problem ? I don't think the makers approach it so naively and then decide:
Oh, we don't have any money anymore, so the alien doesn't look as good as we hoped.
Even in some fan films the Xeno looks better.
The show could certainly score points with unexpectedly good plot twists and exciting actions, but the thing is called alien and there are certain expectations of the design.
A trailer or teaser is supposed to make you want more and not scare you away.
Yeah which I would imagine is probably pretty common when the people in charge have their own vision and rationale.
"It's probably just" Vortex
We must be hitting at least 5 movies across both franchises
