Fargo Creator Tried Making An Alien TV Miniseries On FX

23 Mar, 2019

Fargo creator Noah Hawley had at one point attempted to create an Alien TV miniseries on FX. The Alien franchise began in 1979 when Ridley Scott directed the Oscar-winning film titled Alien for 20th Century Fox. Alien and the Xenomorph creatures became a profitable franchise for the studio, which has spawned several sequels, spinoffs and prequels over the years.

With this year being the 40th anniversary of the original sci-fi/horror classic, there has been a lot of news about the franchise. It was recently announced that six Alien short films would be released this year, which is the closest to a new film fans will be getting anytime soon. The fate of Scott's Alien: Covenant sequel is still unknown, but a documentary called Memory: The Origins of Alien was released this year, giving fans an inside look at Scott's 1979 film. There have been several video games, movies, and comic books about Alien over the years, but it looks like a live-action TV show almost happened at one point.

According to Deadline, it seems as if Hawley tried to turn Alien into a TV miniseries at one point, but it obviously didn't happen. In their update on the Fox and Disney merger, Deadline explains that Fox's film chief Stacey Snider has had a leading hand in preventing people from adapting Fox's franchises for the small screen, one of which would have been an Alien miniseries on FX. No other details on the project are known at this time.


While Hawley didn't get the chance to create an Alien TV show for FX, there has been word of an Alien TV series for quite some time. In fact, at one point it was even believed that two Alien TV series might be in development. One of the two shows is thought to be heading to Hulu, with Scott himself producing the series. This series could still be developed since The Walt Disney Company owns the majority of Hulu, but nobody knows for sure what the House of Mouse plans to do with this franchise.

Despite 20th Century Fox seeing success from their Alien franchise, Disney could choose to put future Alien content on the back burner for now. Disney has seemed open to continuing to release R-rated movies, but with their reputation of releasing family friendly features, many people have been worried about Fox's R-rated franchises. Disney certainly now has the ability to produce Alien content under their banner, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they will.

Sun Valley Film Festival: 2019's Award Winners Announced 21 Mar, 2019 Last week we attended the 2019 Sun Valley Film Festival where sponsor National Geographic commands a major presence. At the eighth annual event, I moderated the first of several NatGeo Salon discussions, focusing on a range of topics from cinematography and storytelling, to activism and "going further" to find the truth. Ours featured Oscar winner Guillermo Navarro and Emmy winner Filipe DeAndrade, and I had the opportunity to participate as a judge for the Wild to Inspire short film competition. The event this year was host to several premieres (Hostile Planet, Apollo: Missions to the Moon, etc.), world-class journalists and wildlife explorers, award-winning Hollywood talent, and key players at National Geographic, Disneynature, etc..

Iron Man Reportedly Returning To MCU For Black Widow Movie 15 Sep, 2019 A new report suggests Robert Downey Jr. is returning as Tony Stark/Iron Man for Black Widow. The first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4, Black Widow is actually set after the events of Captain America: Civil War but before Avengers: Infinity War, making it a prequel rather than a continuation of the post-Endgame story. Starring Scarlett Johansson in the title role, Black Widow will also include David Harbour suiting up at Russia's version of Captain America, Red Guardian, as well as Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh as other Black Widow agents. The main villain of the film is Taskmaster, a character who is a formidable foe thanks to his "photogenic reflexes" that allow him to quickly observe and copy any person's fighting style. Up until now, there had been little to no mention of what allies Natasha Romanoff may have in the film, but according to one report, Black Widow may se

John Carpenter's Tales for a Halloween Night Anthology Scrapped at Syfy 14 Mar, 2019 The planned TV adaptation of John Carpenter's Tales for a Halloween Night anthology series from Syfy has been scrapped. Based on the book series of the same name, the stories consist of scary tales written by a selection of horror writers, including Carpenter himself. First published in 2015, Tales for a Halloween Night is a horror anthology series that explores the deep, dark depths of the genre. Alongside the likes of Sandy King, who's worked with Carpenter on everything from They Live to Ghosts of Mars as a producer, and Steven Hoveke, who worked with Carpenter on The Thing: Artbook, Tales for a Halloween Night includes three separate volumes of standalone short stories. Originally set to be adapted as a TV series for Syfy back in 2017, with Carpenter attached to direct the pilot, it turns out that the anthology won't get the live-action treatment after all. Sandy King, presiden
