Toronto-based design studio WORSHIP have just unveiled a number of early concepts they created for Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien: Earth TV series! Some concepts depict cut-scene transition ideas of which one utilized the Proto/Xenomorph poster from Alien: Covenant, as well as various poster variants - one which acted as inspiration for one of the official posters used to market the show.
UPDATE - Materials removed at request of Disney / FX
We don’t usually share conceptual or pitch work since it’s often rough and includes placeholder cast photos that would ideally needs reshoots, but Alien is one of our favorite franchises, and this was an absolute honor and a bucket list project for us. So we wanted to share a few of many early explorations we did for FX in late 2023.
These were very very early design studies for what would later become Alien: Earth.
Even though most of these concepts didn’t materialize, it was a nice surprise seeing one of our posters (kinda) becoming the official poster 2-ish years after pitching it (last slide).
