Sydney Chandler, the lead actor in 'Alien: Earth,' mistakenly thought an extra was a prop when filming. The new TV series from Disney and FX is set two years before the original movie and features creatures like the Xenomorph crash-landing on Earth. This event triggers a deadly race between Weyland-Yutani and Prodigy Corporation, eager to capture the monsters for experiments. Chandler's co-stars, Babou Ceesay and Timothy Olyphant, also noted the impressive special effects used in the series, which included shocking realistic gore.
I remember, especially in the higher parts of the Prodigy building, there's a moment where there's a good amount of stuff happening on the ground. I just remember getting real close going, 'This looks so real!' I didn't know one of them was alive! I thought it was a prop. I remember I walked by and he went, 'Hi.' And I went, 'Fuck! Hello! You're doing so great at being dead!' It's amazing.
The new TV series from Disney and FX takes place two years before the events of the original movie, and explores what happens when a handful of creatures, including the terrifying Xenomorph, crash-land on Earth.
Babou Ceesay told BI that the actors saw details that audiences won't, like 'body parts that have been ripped off that leave a horrific impression.'
