In the wake of Alien: Romulus comes the Hulu series “Alien: Earth” next year, which is set before the events of all previous movies and brings the franchise to Earth for the first time.
If it’s taking place on Earth… before the original Alien… does that mean “Alien: Earth” won’t actually feature any Xenomorphs at all? That’s been the speculation/worry from many fans these past several months, but creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”) is here to debunk the rumors.
Chatting with Deadline on the Emmys red carpet last night, Noah Hawley has made it crystal clear that were will be at least one Xenomorph featured in next year’s “Alien: Earth.”
He explains, “There’s something about seeing a Xenomorph in the wilds of Earth with your own eyes that is truly chilling… to think of it moving here among us. And so I can’t tell...

Following a group of small-town, DIY Indian filmmakers, Reema Kagti’s “Superboys of Malegaon” is a moving crowd-pleaser that constantly reaffirms its importance through its central theme. Although the film, which is based on real events, often tries to cover too much ground, it continually circles back to the idea that people must see themselves reflected in art, not just out of want, but out of deep desire stemming from need, in order to live with dignity.
Spanning events from 1997 through the early 2010s, the Bollywood biopic primarily follows photographer and wedding videographer Nasir Sheikh (Adarsh Gourav), a lovelorn man in the tiny city of Malegaon, whose few-hundred-mile distance from Mumbai, India’s financial and cinematic capital, may as well be measured in lightyears. Nasir runs a failing movie theater with his older brother Nihal (Gyanendra Tripathi), where he insists on showing Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin classics rather than the latest Bollywood fare,...

Tired of superhero franchises but up for watching a group of larger-than-life misfits with no superpowers but big Bollywood dreams? If so, Superboys of Malegaon may be just for you.
The heartfelt Hindi-language comedy from Amazon MGM Studios, in collaboration with India’s Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, is directed by Reema Kagti (Made in Heaven) and is based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the town of Malegaon in Western India who made a name for himself.
His work with collaborators, creating their own versions of Indian hit movies but with minuscule budgets, was already the topic of Faiza Ahmad Khan’s 2008 documentary Supermen of Malegaon. Now they’re getting the fiction treatment.
“The residents of the town look to Bollywood cinema for a much-needed escape from daily drudgery. Nasir gets inspired to make a film for the people of Malegaon, by the people of Malegaon,...

Soon after “Saltburn” debuted on Amazon Prime, it joined the 1 million watch club on Letterboxd (the leading social media app for film lovers) and was one of the fastest to do so this year. The film has completely taken over social media due to its provocative, erotic sensibilities. “Transfixing and hypnotic, writer/director Emerald Fennell has crafted a provocative and diabolical masterpiece”, writes Awards Daily. Despite being nearly a month since its release, “Saltburn” remains in the top 3 most watched programs on the platform, film or television, in both the UK and US.
“Saltburn” reaped five bids at the Critics’ Choice Awards including Best Picture. Lead Barry Keoghan and scene-stealer Rosamund Pike contended at the Globes. Fennell’s sophomore feature merited 11 longlist mentions at BAFTA.
Among those in the running at BAFTAs is Jacob Elordi for Best Supporting Actor. He plays Felix Catton, an aristocratic who becomes the object of desire for Keoghan’s character,...

The Alien franchise will return with its first ever television series in 2025, and it’s set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place on Earth, roughly 70 years in the future.
Creator Noah Hawley‘s take on the Alien franchise has been described as both an “extension and reinvention” of the films, but don’t expect Ridley Scott’s prequel movies to factor into the series. Scott, who’s on board the FX series as producer, dug into the origins of the Xenomorphs in both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, but Hawley reveals in a new chat with Kcrw’s The Business that he’s not interested in playing with any of those story threads.
Furthermore, he’s only interested in exploring the tech of the original two movies.

Every time actor Adarsh Gourav has taken on the role, he has distinctively embodied the look of his character to perfection. He says he loves the idea of transforming and adds that it does not have to be something major.
From the audacious Callisthenics instructor in ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ in which he underwent a tremendous physical fitness journey to look the party to the gritty Chota Ganchi in ‘Guns and Gulaabs’, each role is not merely portrayed but inhabited.
In the web series ‘Hostel Daze’, Adarsh steps into the shoes of Ankit a regular college boy, displaying a stark contrast of his look as Balram.
Adarsh said: “I believe in understanding and empathising with the person I embody on screen.”

A voiceover in the last reel says, ‘When you have real good ‘friends around you’, why do you need ‘followers’? This line, the lines before and after, is the crux of the movie. I’m sure by reading the line one should get a hint what the storyteller has in store. I’m more than sure that the youth of today would ignore or negate the same. Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is a coming-of-age film directed by debutant Arjun Varain Singh.
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan Plotline
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan follows the lives of three best friends (in flesh & blood) Imaad (Siddhant Chaturvedi), Ahana (Ananya Panday) and Neil (Adarsh Gourav) who manage their goals, relationships, and emotions together.
The narrative begins with Imaad performing a stand-up set with Neil and Ahana in the audience. Ahana is not alone, she ‘seems’ to be going steady with Rohan Bhatia (Rohan Gurbaxani) but soon faces a breakup.

Wooooo, wowwww….What a wonderful way to wrap up the year! Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is just the year-ender we needed to dispel the bitter aftertaste of the movieland’s misfires that left us shaken and sadly not stirred.
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is fresh and inviting, like a hot cup of coffee brewed with care and affection. It is not a great film by any stretch of the imagination. But the three protagonists are young (please note: they are really young and not just pretending to be), eager to step into the world of the rich and the famous. The girl Ahana (Ananya Pandey) is already there. Her two best friends Neel (Adarsh Gourav) and Imaad (Siddhant Chaturvedi) are getting there. There will be pain, heartache, recrimination and reconciliation before the end.

Adarsh Gourav, who’s awaiting the release of his next film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, a Netflix year ender, has said that his resolution for the year 2024 is to channelise his anger in the right direction.
Much appreciated for the way he essayed his character in ‘The White Tiger’, the actor said, “I want to channelise my anger in the right way. I know it is a natural emotion to have but it is self-destructive. I want to channelise it effectively.”
Moving on to how far he could relate to his character Neil from the film, he said, “I genuinely feel Arjun, Nandini, Karan and Zoya, when they cast us, saw the essence of each of the characters that the three of us are playing in the film.
“I instantly related to Neil’s feeling of inadequacy and insecurity — the feeling of financial insecurity in the midst of the people he is surrounded by.

Just one day after we learned that Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”) has joined the cast of FX’s “Alien” series, Deadline reports that David Rysdahl (“Fargo”) has also signed on.
The upcoming series will reteam both Olyphant and Rysdahl with creator Noah Hawley, who of course previously created the small screen version of “Fargo” they starred in.
Sydney Chandler stars in FX’s “Alien” as Wendy, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”
FX’s “Alien” series is expected sometime in 2025.
Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), and Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger) will also star.
Creator Noah Hawley‘s take on the Alien franchise has been described as both an “extension and reinvention” of the films that have come before it, with Ellen Ripley not involved.

Dystopian novel Prophet Song by Irish author Paul Lynch has won the 2023 Booker Prize.
Set in Dublin, the story follows a family dealing with a terrifying new world in which democracy falls away.
The prestigious book award has previously been won by novels including The English Patient, The Remains Of The Day, Life Of Pi, The White Tiger, and Wolf Hall, all of which have been adapted into successful movies or TV series.
Chair of Judges, Esi Edugyan, described Prophet Song, which was the bookmakers’ favorite to win the prize, as “soul-shattering and true,” adding that readers “will not soon forget its warnings.”
The subject matter rings especially true given the scenes of violence that have erupted in Dublin in recent days. Ireland’s police chief Drew Harris this weekend blamed the rioting and violence, which saw multiple people stabbed, on a “lunatic, hooligan faction driven by a far-right ideology...

Fede Alvarez’s upcoming Alien movie is currently set for theatrical release on August 16, 2024, but what about the “Alien” TV series from FX and creator Noah Hawley (“Fargo”)?
According to new comments from Hawley, the “Alien” franchise likely isn’t headed to the small screen until sometime in 2025 – a year after Alvarez’s new movie comes along.
“We’re all just waiting for the strike, and it will end,” Hawley tells TheWrap this week. “The plan right now is to go back in January and be shooting in February, and looks like shoot until July or so, which puts the air date somewhere in the first half of ’25.”
How much of the series has already been filmed? Production began back in July, you may recall, but the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike eventually put a pause on the production.
“I was able to complete filming most of the first hour. That said,...

Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas talked about how she was warned away from doing female-centric films when working in Hindi cinema, as well as her ambitions to expand her portfolio in the U.S., in a conversation with fellow Indian actress Bhumi Pednekar at Mumbai Film Festival today.
In a relaxed master class that focused on the craft of acting, Chopra Jonas explained that she was advised not to take on one of her early films, Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion (2008), in which she starred as a small-town girl who becomes a super-model.
“I signed on for the film right after Krrish, and was told that actresses only do female-oriented projects at the end of their careers so they can win a National Award,” said Chopra Jonas, who moved into acting after winning the Miss World beauty pageant in 2000. “Back then there were not many female-centric movies.”

Relatively little has been concretely revealed about the "Alien" TV show currently in the works for FX. Despite originally being announced just shy of three years ago during Disney's now-infamous 2020 investor presentation where the company announced a ludicrous amount of upcoming projects, we've only heard little bits here and there about this show since then. But series creator Noah Hawley has finally opened up a bit more about the show based on Ridley Scott's beloved 1979 sci-fi film of the same name.
Yesterday, I attended a panel where Hawley spoke during this year's Austin Film Festival. During the panel, the filmmaker talked a fair amount about the show, which will take place on Earth roughly 70 years in the future -- (give or take) just a few years before 2017's "Alien: Covenant" in the overall timeline. In speaking about how he approached crafting a show based in an already existing franchise,...

“All of Us Strangers” screened for press and industry at the 61st New York Film Festival on September 21 and can be seen by general festival goers starting on October 1.

Film programming, like history, doesn’t repeat itself but does rhyme. This is proven by the fact that two highly complementary, equally excellent films about immigration, Me Captain (Io Capitano) and Green Border, both landed in competition at this year’s Venice Film Festival.
Agnieszka Holland’s meticulous Green Border offers a polyphonic examination of the plight of refugees trying to enter the EU through Belarus, but also encompasses the views of local Poles to create a panoramic, intellectually rigorous view of the situation. Italian director Matteo Garrone’s emotionally searing but ultimately uplifting epic, on the other hand, confines itself to the experience of Seydou, a 16-year-old boy from Senegal.
Indelibly played by non-professional Seydou Sarr, offering a remarkably mature performance, he makes his way with his cousin (Moustapha Fall) from their home in West Africa across thousands of miles on a quest to reach Europe. Taking viewers with...

Mumbai, Aug 3 (Ians) BAFTA-nominated actor Adarsh Gourav will be joining Reema Kagti’s next movie, Superman of Malegaon, which is based on the Malegaon film industry.
He said it is one of the most underrated film industries that churns out some fun films with a 100 per cent business return.
Malegaon Film Industry, a.k.a Malliwood, might not be as big as Bollywood but their movies are made with so much passion. They are known to make low-budgeted spoof movies.
Adarsh said: “When Reema told me about Malegaon I knew I was going to say yes to the film. I have heard about the Malegaon Film industry before and it is quite intriguing how they make a movie or even finance it.”
“They are a different world in itself. It is one of the most underrated film industries that churns out some fun films with a 100 per cent business return.

Filming is officially underway on Alien TV series that Fargo TV series creator Noah Hawley has been developing for “FX on Hulu” – with the project having to film around cast members who are on strike with the Screen Actors Guild.

In addition to Fede Alvarez’s upcoming Alien movie, the Alien franchise is headed to the small screen with a TV series from FX, and Deadline brings us more casting news today.
Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling) has already been confirmed to star in the “Alien” TV series, and Deadline reports today that Essie Davis (The Babadook) is also on board.
Additionally, Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), and Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger) will star in the upcoming horror series.
Deadline also notes this week, “Production began Wednesday, July 19, at The Studio Park [in Thailand] with crew filming scenes that don’t include SAG-affiliated actors.”
This, of course, due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, wherein writers and actors are asking the studios and streamers for the fair wages they deserve.
The “Alien” series may premiere sometime next year. Stay tuned.

Exclusive: FX’s Alien series has started production in Thailand but without its stars who are SAG-AFTRA members due to the ongoing strike.
So far, Sydney Chandler is the only officially confirmed cast member, playing the female lead. Deadline can reveal that Alex Lawther, known for his starring role in Netflix’s young adult drama The End of the F*cking World, has been cast as the male lead, a soldier named Cj, with Samuel Blenkin (Black Mirror) as another main character, Boy Kavalier, a CEO.
