FX is moving quickly to bring audiences the first television series based on one of the greatest sciencefiction horror classics ever made: “Alien.” Alien will be helmed by Fargo and Legion’s Noah Hawley stepping into the creator/executive producer chair, and FX is in advanced negotiations with Academy Award winner, Sir Ridley Scott – director of the first “Alien” film and the sequel, “Alien: Covenant” – to join the project as an Executive Producer. Set not too far into our future, it’s the first Alien story set on Earth – and by blending both the timeless horror of the first “Alien” film with the non-stop action of the second, it’s going to be a scary thrill ride that will blow people back in their seats.
