00:00Collision imminent.
00:12Impact in four, three, two.
00:20Alien Earth is the story of a Wailing Yutani ship collecting species from around the galaxy
00:32that crashes on the planet Earth.
00:34But it crashes on the property of a different corporation, the Prodigy Corporation, which
00:39is run by a billionaire named Boy Cavalier, who is trying to create the first transhuman
00:45hybrid.
00:46You're going to be the first person to transition from a human body to a synthetic.
00:51What makes them geniuses is the fact that they're children.
00:57This ship finds something on a faraway moon.
01:03Monsters.
01:08No septus one on Earth, so the stakes are high.
01:11If this animal gets free, it's a much bigger problem.
01:16All of the creatures, they're this mix of sci-fi and horror.
01:20When aliens come to our planet, we realize they're really the thing of nightmares, which
01:24we're going to get people.
01:26This is really good, suspenseful horror storytelling.
01:30It's going to be a thrill ride.
01:32We've basically gone, how far can I push this?
01:34Get chased by the alien.
01:36Feel the fear, the horror that we all felt when we watched those amazing original films.
01:41Are there going to be dead bodies?
01:44Don't think about that.
01:46The hero is a character named Wendy, a 12-year-old girl who finds herself in a synthetic adult
01:54body.
01:55She's been separated from her family as part of this secret project that the Prodigy
01:58Corporation has done.
01:59There you are.
02:02With Wendy, you start out with a feeling of innocence, and you see cracks begin to form
02:08in what she thinks is a safe and beautiful world that she's been given, and what she
02:14does with that, what fight she decides to take up, and which one she decides to leave behind.
02:19And God forbid you try and stand in her way.
02:21Wendy has a brother out there, human brother, and she's determined and desperate to save him.
02:27I found you.
02:29This Weyland-Yutani spaceship has crashed into a Prodigy building.
02:33I'm part of a team that responds to the crisis.
02:36It turns out it's not just a rescue mission, that this is actually a very dangerous ship
02:41filled with these hostile creatures, and they go in unprepared for that.
02:45What I find interesting, I'm thinking about a show that's called Alien.
02:58This thing over here is an alien, what does it mean to be human?
03:01The closer you sort of zoom into that question, the more complicated it becomes, particularly
03:05in a world in which we're now able to create intelligence that's artificial.
03:08You want to see a magic trick?
03:10Yeah.
03:11We have combined this story of humanity facing this existential threat, both from biological
03:21monsters and from synthetic artificial intelligence, which always raises the question, does humanity
03:27deserve to survive?
03:29I want what's on that ship.
03:31This show, really, it's a character study.
03:34What does the pressure of having not just one alien, quite a few, what does that do to
03:39them as human beings?
03:40How do they behave?
03:41Brother, come on.
03:42You can't leave us like this.
03:44I'm not your brother.
03:46The show is huge, and it's going to be something people are going to have to really sink their
03:49teeth into.
03:50This strange, exciting, and scary world.
03:52I want the audience to feel everything, dreading what's going to come around the corner, hair
03:57rising up on the back of their neck.
03:59You want to give the audience that feeling they got from the original alien.
04:03When you go to bed afterwards, it's very hard to sleep.
04:22You want to board those people that feel like you're posterior high.
04:27So come on, read that a moment.
04:28I know you were going to read that to me in my apartment.
04:31Now, what does that mean?
04:32With what kind ofonas have you Werner, I promise you, Iודan.
04:35You believe so?
04:36Man.
04:36He's still not mom.
04:37Man.
04:38Honey.
04:39So that's where you interrogation of spirituality, we're always folks whoized the foreign
04:41into the world.
04:42I wonder if he's Twist, is something that toutes the겠�as-girls would have to protecting him.
04:47You��의 Yeshua to yourself and how you are.
