New Alien: Earth trailer gives us our best look yet at the USCSS Maginot crash landing, and it's giving us major Blade Runner vibes
Another Alien: Earth trailer has crash-landed onto the internet, and it gives us our best look yet at the spacecraft arriving on land.
The new trailer, titled 'Greener World', opens with a huge explosion sending a spacecraft plummeting down to Earth, where it crashes into a dystopian city. On land, a synthetic named Wendy (Sydney Chandler) is questioning her humanity, as she and her team go to investigate the ship. The rest of the trailer shows the team finding out what the crew on the USCSS Maginot was really doing, researching five alien lifeforms.
The rest of the trailer, which you can watch below, gives us a sneak peek at how the specimens affect life on Earth. We see a poor bloodied goat in a testing lab, as well as some humans running in fear from what we can only imagine is a monster of sorts. At the end, there is a single small Xenomorph hiding out in what looks like a cave.
Now, although the trailer doesn't tell us much more than we already knew from the plethora of teasers previously released by FX, the new video does offer another perspective on the series. Rather than focusing on life on the ship, the clip shows us the series' take on a dystopian Earth. And it's surprisingly green and healthy.
This is different than the first full Alien: Earth trailer which focused more on the horror and gore of the series. Could this mean that there is some hope after all for the poor residents of Earth who have had the most evilest of creatures thrust upon them?
Set just two years before Ellen Ripley encountered her first Xenomorph in the original 1979 movie Alien, Alien: Earth follows a group of tactical soldiers who are tasked to search the a deep space research vessel called the USCSS Maginot after it crash-lands on Earth. However, unbeknownst to them, the ship was being used to research alien lifeforms, putting the Earth-dwellers face to face with the planet's greatest threat.
Created by Noah Hawley, the series stars Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, Kit Young, Timothy Olyphant, and more.
Alien: Earth premieres on FX and Hulu in the US on August 12, and will start streaming on Disney Plus in the UK from August 13. For more, check out our guide to all the most exciting upcoming shows of the year.

Chiefs' Chris Jones reveals updated love life amid cheating allegations
Kansas City Chiefs' Chris Jones is sharing an update about his love life after he allegedly cheated on his ex-girlfriend, Sheawna Weathersby. The couple had been dating for nine years, and Weathersby announced that they had split "months ago" back in April. 'I just wanna be married, I just wanna be loved,' Jones said in a TikTok shared this week by the Chiefs' official account. At the time, Weathersby accused Jones of cheating after the three-time Super Bowl champion shared a photo with an unidentified woman. "I'm choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship," Weathersby wrote. "Unfortunately, Chris' infidelity with the woman he's recently been pictured with, led to my decision to end our relationship months ago." "I'm proud to say I chose to prioritize my own wellbeing and healing journey," she added. "As I embark on this new chapter, I'm excited for the opportunities and growth that await me. I trust that God will transform the pain into something beautiful." Fans believed that the couple broke up after the NFL star tweeted a meme that read, "I'm like 106% single." A fan reacted to the meme saying that he wasn't single but the NFL star responded, "I am." The couple who began dating in 2016, share two children together: Christopher Jones II, born in 2018, and Carson Dakota Jones, born in 2022. It's unclear if both of them are single at this time, but their Instagram accounts do not have posts with new partners.

An excellent opportunity to see the Milky Way in the skies
From around April until September, the galactic centre of the Milky Way, where the most stars can be found, reaches its highest point in the sky. This presents us with an excellent opportunity to see our own galaxy, humankind's place of residence in the universe. Captured recently by Mary McIntyre using a Canon 1100D and 10-18 mm lens, the sprawling array of stars and what appears to be patchy cloud presents itself over the roof tops, as we look at what's known as the 'galactic bulge'. This 'bulge' contains a dense population of older, more established stars, surrounded by interstellar dust. All told, our galaxy measures 100,000 to 120,000 light-years across and essentially looks like a massive Catherine Wheel, with spiral-arm structures winding their way out from the centre with the Earth sat in one of the outer regions. When we look at the rest of our galaxy from Earth, we are looking inwards toward the centre, about 28,000 light-years distant. Because of this distance and the limitations of the human eye, it all looks a bit hazy, misty, and gaseous in appearance, but right at the heart of the 'bulge', astronomers believe that a supermassive black hole exists. For the best chance of seeing the Milky Way you need to have clear, dark skies, away from light pollution such as house lighting or street lights. Looking in a south-easterly direction, preferably when there is no moon present, let your eyes adapt to the night sky and in time, the Milky Way should reveal itself. The Perseid meteor shower continues to build momentum as we head toward the latter part of next weekend when the height of activity occurs. The shower is generated as the Earth passes through the path of debris left by Comet Swift-Tuttle, the largest object in our solar system to pass the Earth repeatedly. Every 133 years, the comet, which was last in our vicinity in 1992, rounds the Sun and re-seeds the original path it left with fresh debris. These mostly sand-size particles come into contact with our atmosphere at about 133,000mph, with the friction of the encounter causing them to burn up in a streak of light, hence, 'shooting stars'. Generally speaking, the larger the size of the debris, the brighter the meteor. The best time to watch the shower will be on the nights of August 11/12, but they can be observed now by looking in a north-easterly direction after dark, or if possible, after midnight and towards dawn. Remember, you don't need a telescope or binoculars to see the meteors, as the display can be seen with the naked eye. In the early hours of Sunday, August 3, there's a nice pairing in the northeast morning sky of Venus and Jupiter, Venus being the brighter of the two planets. We have a full Moon later this week as the so-called full Sturgeon Moon lights up the sky on Friday and Saturday. Other names given to the full Moon in August include Corn, Lynx, and Lightning Moon.

Keanu Reeves Replaces Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in AI-Made PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 6 Trailer — GeekTyrant
A new AI-generated trailer from KH Studio is making the rounds online, imagining what Pirates of the Caribbean 6 would look like with Keanu Reeves stepping into the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. The teaser has gone viral across social media, with viewers fascinated by how it transforms Reeves into the beloved Disney pirate once portrayed by Johnny Depp. The trailer dials up the swashbuckling action and dramatic flair. The whole thing is silly fun and clearly fake, so I'm always surprised when there are people who actually think this stuff is real!
