Noah Hawley Wants ‘Alien: Earth' to Feel Like a ‘Game of Thrones' Horror Show
The Wailing's Na Hong-Jin is cooking up a new sci-fi thriller. Sterling K. Brown teases the 'dreamy' Henry Cavill in Voltron. Julia Garner is under fire in a tense new clip from Weapons. Plus, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds heads to the holodeck in new images. To me, my spoilers!Variety reports Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon, Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell, and Cameron Britton will star in Hope, a new sci-thriller from the director Na Hong-Jin (The Wailing) about the 'remote village of Hope Harbor, near the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)… But what begins as a local emergency soon spirals into a deeper, more terrifying mystery, one that forces the town's residents to confront the unknown.' Fassbender, Vikander, Russell, and Britton are said to play 'extraterrestrials whose arrival in Hope Harbor accelerates the town's unraveling and deepens the mystery.' Deadline reports Dean Fleischer Camp, director of the live-action Lilo & Stitch, is putting together a pitch package with the producers of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On for a currently untitled supernatural romance film following 'two star-crossed lovers during the Edwardian Age' who are 'suddenly torn apart—not by society but by something much stranger.' During a recent panel at San Diego Comic Con (via Screen Rant), Sterling K. Brown described the live-action Voltron movie as 'heartfelt… big and bodacious and dynamic,' as well as Henry Cavill's character as being 'dreamy.' Benedict Wong attacks Julia Garner in a new clip from Zach Cregger's Weapons. An aspiring actress's part-time job at an experimental sleep clinic brings her nightmares to life in the trailer for Somnium, starring Chloë Levine, Peter Vack, Will Peltz, Johnathon Schaech, and Grace Van Dien. A weekend vacation becomes an Evil Dead-inspired nightmare in the trailer for Fear Cabin: The Last Weekend of Summer, starring Jeremy London as the film's crusty harbinger of doom. Billie Piper discussed the 'very last-minute' decision behind her surprise regeneration scene in the Doctor Who finale during a recent appearance at Florida Supercon 2025 (via Radio Times). This is such a minefield – I have to really engage with how I answer this. All I can say is I was approached very last-minute, and I can't talk about in what capacity, but I found it very emotional to film and I think it's a really great ending. As in, I just found it quite moving, and it was really fun to film because it had such a sort of cloak and dagger feeling about getting it made. So, yeah, I have to lie a lot about anything to do with Doctor Who, it seems. During a recent interview with Bloody-Disgusting, Noah Hawley compared Alien: Earth to a Game of Thrones TV series based upon six previous horror movies about the White Walkers. The way that I thought about it originally is imagine that there have been six movies about the White Walkers, and they said make a television series out of that, and they made Game of Thrones. The monsters are definitely a critical part of it, but what are we talking about? What's the show about? In those first two Alien films, there are a lot of big ideas in there about humanity and artificial intelligence and the primordial past that we can't seem to escape, etcetera. That's what went into it for me. I brought my team over there, literally, from Fargo. We went from, I think, 30 below zero to 115 above in a plane ride, and they got to work. I love that about FX. There's no box I'm in, and that's a testament to their faith and confidence in me. If you go back and watch the pilot of Game of Thrones, it starts with the White Walkers. They exist, they linger through. You can argue whether taking seven seasons to get to that confrontation was too long. But no, it was just my way of saying, and I did this with Legion as well, which is to take the superpowers out of it. What is the show? Take the monsters out of it. What is the show? It has to be a great dramatic show. Then you go, 'And there are monsters.' It becomes this bonus that you get. Versus just saying, okay, we're just going to do monster, action, and horror, and then what? We're telling a parallel story. I'm not actively engaging with the films themselves in terms of who's on the other end of the phone or that idea. I'm not looking to connect it to those movies, literally. I think it's more taking the elements of the original films and expanding them for my own purposes. It's remarkable how little mythology there is to a franchise that's six movies deep; all we really know about the way humanity is organized is that it's built around a corporation, the Weyland-Yutani corporation. I just expanded that to more of a corporate power struggle. Finally, Spoiler TV has images from 'A Space Adventure Hour,' this week's episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Head over there to see the rest. Want more io9 news?
