ALIEN: EARTH Creator Teases Monsters Even More Terrifying Than Xenomorphs — GeekTyrant
The show's creator, Noah Hawley, recently teased that the upcoming series will unleash a brand-new breed of monsters, possibly even more terrifying than the iconic xenomorphs we've been hiding from since Ridley Scott's 1979 classic, Alien .
In a conversation with ComicBook, Hawley was asked if the xenomorphs will remain the scariest threat in Alien: Earth ? His answer:
'That depends on what grosses you out the most. I think we're giving them a run for their money, certainly.'
That's an interesting statement, especially considering how the xenomorphs have haunted the nightmares of audiences for decades. But fear not, classic Xonomorph fans, Hawley assures that these beloved aliens aren't taking a backseat:
'But their value is added. They are scary in the egg stage, the facehugger stage, and the chest burster stage. They got something for everyone, those xenomorphs.'
Hawley also hinted at how the series' Earth-bound setting amplifies the terror, explaining:
'You bring these creatures into our natural environment. You introduce an apex predator to another balanced ecosystem. I'm really interested to see how that plays out.
'I think you saw it in the last trailer, the iconic shot of the xenomorph in the cave system. You got a visceral response to it, to feel like now they're here [on Earth].'
It's clear that Alien: Earth is evolving the threat in new and horrific ways. With a the ecosystem of Earth now thrown into chaos by these apex predators, fans can expect a tension-filled narrative unlike anything we've seen before.
The first two episodes of Alien: Earth will drop on August 12, 2025, with the remaining six episodes releasing weekly. Get ready to face your fears—because Earth is about to get a lot scarier.
I've already watched the first episode of the series, and I loved it! I'm excited to see how the rest of the series!

Meghan toasts to ‘beautiful day' as she launches new rose wine
The Duchess of Sussex has toasted to a 'beautiful day' to mark the launch of her latest rose wine. Meghan released her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2024 – described as evoking the same 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish' as the 2023 rose – on Tuesday. It comes after the previous rose, launched last month, sold out within an hour. In a video posted on her Instagram, Meghan can be seen uncorking a bottle marked 'Bottle #1' in front of bouquets of pink and cream flowers – followed by close-up of the cork bearing the As Ever logo. Alongside the clip, she wrote: 'Here we go! First bottle off the line! 'Toasting to a beautiful day: Our Napa rose is live @aseverofficial.' As with the previous wine, the beverage is priced at more than £67 for a minimum three-bottle order – and only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America. As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle brand which also sells cookie mix, herb tea, flower sprinkles and jams. A post on the company's Instagram show the corks branded with the As Ever logo, with a caption reading: 'C'est l'heure. 'Enjoy your last sips of summer with the newest vintage of our beloved Napa Valley rose.' The website describes the drink as 'thoughtfully curated by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex' and that it has been 'made to be enjoyed with the ones you love'. The pale pink wine, which comes in a clear bottle with a white, gold-rimmed label, has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 13.5% – one percent lower than its predecessor. As with the 2023 rose, the newest wine is not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles. Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (around £67), six bottles cost 159 dollars (around £119) including a 12% discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (around £225) including a 17% discount. Meghan and the Duke of Sussex left the UK and moved to California five years ago for a new life after stepping down from the working monarchy. Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.

Liam Neeson Hilariously Mocked Paramount Execs Into Greenlighting THE NAKED GUN Reboot — GeekTyrant
The Naked Gun reboot may be winning over fans now, but it almost didn't happen. According to director Akiva Schaffer, Paramount wasn't immediately sold on the idea, even with Liam Neeson attached as the lead. So, how did it get the greenlight? Simple. Neeson roasted the Paramount execs in a hilarious test scene that left no room for doubt. Schaffer told Filmmaker Magazine: '[Liam Neeson's casting] was not quite enough for the studio for whatever reason, and they asked us to do a proof of concept.' To prove their vision, Schaffer and his team went scrappy. They threw together a five-minute mock sequence on the Paramount lot in an old warehouse filled with lighting equipment, turning it into a gritty noir-style set reminiscent of Beverly Hills Cop II . The scene mashed up parts from different bits in the script, including an interrogation with Kevin Durand and comedy pulled from the sequence with Busta Rhymes. But the mic-drop moment came at the end, when Neeson locked eyes with the camera and delivered a fourth-wall-breaking takedown that sealed the deal. 'There's that noir lighting on his face, and he says, 'That goes for you, too. Yes, you, the Paramount greenlight committee. I see you there. What the f*ck are you waiting for? Why don't you get your pencil pushers to sign [on] the line? 'I'll tell you what. Make sure they have a line item for adult diapers and cocaine in case one of you ever wants to visit set,' or something like that. He basically talks shit to them and leaves. And it worked!' Apparently, that ballsy scene was exactly the kind of chaos the studio needed to see. I would love to see that video, so hopefully it gets released one day! The final film delivers exactly what that proof-of-concept promised… a wild, ridiculous ride that pays loving tribute to the 1988 classic. Neeson steps into the spotlight as the son of Leslie Nielsen's iconic Frank Drebin. The new Naked Gun lineup includes Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Busta Rhymes, and Cody Rhodes, bringing a mix of comedy, action, and hilarious absurdity. The Naked Gun is in theaters now and is absolutely worth seeing if you're into this franchise!

Deepest-Ever Field Image of Giant Galaxy Cluster Is a Brutal Reminder of Your Cosmic Insignificance
When it comes to deep space observations, our cosmological insignificance seems to grow with the resolution of our telescopes' cameras. In the latest advance, astronomers constructed the deepest-ever images of Abell 3667, a massive galaxy cluster located 700 million light-years from Earth—and most of the tiny dots you see represent entire galaxies. But the latest images of Abell 3667 also offer 'whispering evidence of past galactic interactions,' which astronomers document in detail in a paper published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The team, led by astronomers from Brown University, caught Abell 3677 at a particularly lustrous moment in space-time, during a merger of two of the clusters' brightest galaxies. The stellar union, resembling a starry bridge stretching across the cluster, generated powerful gravitational bursts that yanked away the occasional stray star from other galaxies. Together, these lone stars emit a faint glow known as intracluster light (ICL)—and it's this phenomenon that researchers are investigating to explore Abell 3677's past. Specifically, it appears likely that Abell 3667 also formed from the rapid merger of two galaxy clusters, which previous X-ray and radio observations had predicted. This latest observation, however, represents the first ever optical evidence to support this idea. 'This is the first time a feature of this scale and size has been found in a local galaxy cluster,' Anthony Englert, study lead author, said in a statement. 'We knew that it was possible for a bridge like this to form between two galaxies, but it hadn't been documented anywhere before now. It was a huge surprise that we were able to image such a faint feature.' The team had an unusually long observation period for this project, which partly enabled them to construct such a detailed image. In addition to the intracluster light, the researchers captured faint, wispy puffs of cosmic dust called integrated flux nebulae, seen as bluish ribbons of light streaking across the image. 'It was just a happy coincidence that so many people had imaged Abell 3667 over the years, and we were able to stack all of those observations together,' Englert noted. The researchers have some outstanding questions about Abell 3677 and, more importantly, intracluster light. Fortunately, their timing couldn't have been more impeccable; with the Rubin Telescope officially up and running, astronomers are now better equipped to further probe these questions. 'Rubin is going to be able to image ICL in much the same way as we did here, but it's going to do it for every single local galaxy cluster in the southern sky,' Englert said. 'What we did is just a small sliver of what Rubin is going to be able to do. It's really going to blow the study of the ICL wide open.' Essentially, if this new image doesn't make you feel small, you might want to wait for the soon-to-come Rubin versions of this image. In fact, if Englert is right, we'll be seeing multiple versions of this image, and in higher resolution, too. So, for better or worse, we humans will only get smaller from here.
