RUMOR: A Series Set In The ‘Alien’ Universe Being Considered?

Hadley's Hope has some juice imo. Sorry if the embed doesn't work.

For those whom have not seen this, there are many ways the franchise could go if thinking outside the box. Sit down theater movies seem over and done with imo.

Some interesting ideas/movies/shorts there.

I do think anything regarding the Xenomorph if covered too much has the potential to have the beast cooked....  I feel any TV Short or Mini-Series Movie (Like Stephen Kings IT) would have to concentrate on much more than the Xenomorphs.  It would have to maybe explore the Company Agenda/Conspiracy angle a bit more.

But there is a Market for Fans who would like to see a Star Ship Troopers Franchise approach... replace those Bugs with Xenomorphs (few different versions) and Aliens Colonial Marines and this Popcorn Shoot Em Up approach would make a number of people Happy.

"would make a number of people Happy."

And this really needs for a franchise.  Simple and classic story.

BigDave Agree the xeno could go to the back ground. Other facets are Engineers, WY Co and Androids pretty much. It would be great if someone funded a season to each topic and see what takes off, then maybe focusing on The One with elements of the other subjects. Financially it seems too be less of a risk than a full blown movie. So much could be explored and deeply developed in 6 45 minute episodes than one 100 minute movie and we wouldn't have to wait for years to see it. 

True or not, it seems interesting.

More about the Engineers could be interesting, more about WY could maybe work if we get some fleshed out things about them while remaining some mystery. Perhaps they can introduce some other life form like they did with the Engineers. I am no sure what that would be but it must be done well.

David as the SJ? LMAO! That would be lame

Hopefully we will get some more information from Fox or who ever is in charge of this. It seems more interesting than what Scott has in mind about the prequels. We’ll see I guess

I would not blame them, I would blame Fox and Scott that made it about David. Had they not done AC then we would maybe not be in this situation. That was the big mistake that happened IMO. No more (mad) androids thank you very much (at least if they are like David but it could maybe work, look at the droids in Star Wars as an example but they should not be the main focus).

Where would we be able to see the series by the way?

Daliens: I think that it could work, it did in Prometheus but the lack of characters made it worse than it could have been. What I am saying is that it might not be impossible but the need to make better characters than we got in Prometheus.

I have a feeling that if there will be a tv series set in the alien universe it will not be about engineers.

We are done with the engineers, otherwise Ridley Scott would have got his chance after Prometheus. 

Most probably a tv series would be like the new Predator film, something embarrassing for the grown-ups. Unless they let Ridley Scott have a word in it, as a producer at least. 

I think a TV Series would be Difficult if its only concerned with the Xenomorph...

More has to be fleshed out with the REASON for the Companies Pursuit of the Xenomorph, and we would have to consider the Origins. Which means exploring the Engineers in the Past or Present but give more reasons for WHY create the Xenomorph... Unless the CANON is now that David indeed does create the Xenomorph, and then more Background regarding WHY and AI has to be explored.

To do a Series about purely Humans coming across Xenomorphs on Space Stations, Space Ships or on Planets/Moons is something that has been Done to Death to be fair.

"I would be delighted should they let Ridley Scott be involved in the project, at least as a producer."

I agree daliens and this, to me, seems to be the likely scenario.

“Unless they let Ridley Scott have a word in it, as a producer at least.”

Maybe it could work but don’t let him affect the script or we will get another Alien Covenant. I know that this reply is late but what ever
