Tech bros the real horror in Alien: Earth
In Hollywood's book of big budget franchises, Alien has been a shape-shifter. In 1979, director Ridley Scott fused gothic horror with blue-collar sci-fi to birth the xenomorph: an H.R. Giger-designed space monster that's haunted screens ever since.
Almost half a century on, Noah Hawley, the show-runner of Fargo, whose genre-bending talent adapted the Coen brothers' bleak classic into one of TV's most innovative dramas, leads a new prequel, Alien: Earth.
