Alien TV Series From Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott CONFIRMED

[Corporal Hicks]

Given Ridley's involvement, I would expect it would.

Is his involvement even seriously confirmed?
In the presentation they said Noah would work alongside Ridley
but in the trades after the presentation most of them said Ridley was still in "talks" to produce the show.

To our understanding, yes, Ridley is 100% signed on. The show didn't actually start active development until after that.

I retract this. It's still talks.

Nah, was just some miscommunication.

[Necronomicon II]

Somebody wake up Hicks. 

[Voodoo Magic]

It's fair to say at this point that Ridley Scott will likely not have any creative involvement with the series, not like an executive producer would normally have anyway. But its good business to get his name attached to the series. It's a good credential to have from financing to audiences.

I would actually be happier if he wasn't involved.


He's a madman who changes his thoughts and feelings about the franchise at a whim.


Alien is my favorite, but ALL of the rest of the movies he has been involved with have been OK at best.

Sooooooo I guess they really jumped the gun at the investor stream by explicitly stating that Noah Hawley is "working alongside Sir Ridley Scott."  That's... kind of a really shitty way to handle an 'official' announcement.

Yikes, that's kinda shitty indeed.  But yeah, now I'm pretty convinced it won't be connected to the prequels in any way.

Hopefully the third prequel is still on the cards though, in some form.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Gotta make it sound appealing for the INVESTORS!

Hoping that Ridley gets to make his third film alongside Hawley doing this. They don't even have to be compatible, honestly. I'm fine with different takes.

But come on, Disney. Don't flat out lie at your conference about the status of this thing...

I retract this. It's still talks.

The more the prequel story is ignored
The more it will grow

[Voodoo Magic]

With a story occurring in the near future, I think they would have to ignore at least Covenant right?

Christ I hope so.

How would you react if an Alien shows up before David "creates" them?

[Xenomrph]

Positively.
