Famous for playing the protagonist Ellen Ripley, Sigourney Weaver told People magazine and EW that she is enjoying “Alien: Earth.”
“What I admire is that the scope is much deeper than just an Alien movie,” said the 75-year-old actress on Monday (8), while promoting her new film, “Dust Bunny.”
“It’s about our world and what will be dominating the world in 100 years, and to me it feels totally right,” she commented.
“Alien: Earth” takes place two years before the events on the Nostromo. The series brings back the classic monsters of the Alien universe, as well as synthetic beings with human consciousness — the hybrids.
“All these things are so remarkable and just keep growing and growing and growing,” said Sigourney Weaver, praising the work of creator Noah Hawley.
The series stars Alex Lawther, Adrian Edmondson, David Rysdahl, Essie Davis, Lily Newmark, Erana James, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Kit Young, Diêm Camille, Moe Bar-El, Sandra Yi Sencindiver, and Timothy Olyphant.
