Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth has now become an integral part of the beloved franchise. From the narrative and the characters, the latest sci-fi horror series brought back the nostalgia and also introduced new angles to the story. Furthermore, like other projects in the franchise, the Xenomorphs also played a crucial role in the series.
In a recent Variety interview, actor Cameron Brown, who portrays the Xenomorph in Alien: Earth, talked about how the creature came to life in teh Noah Hawley series. Brown shared that he had attended workshops to understand the movements of the creature, watched the three movies, where the Xenomorph was first introduced, and also received help from other media sources.
However, he shared that the main source of help came from the creature itself. He said:
"I got notes from Noah through the suit design and through Weta Workshop. I live in Australia, and Weta is headquartered in New Zealand. A lot of my cues came through the creature itself."

Alien: Earth - Actor Cameron Brown talks about how Xenomorphs came to life in the sci-fi horror series
In the Variety interview, Brown shared that as soon as he was confirmed for the role of the Xenomorph on Alien: Earth, he began to prepare by himself and watched the three movies of the Alien franchise to understand the movement cues and carry the legacy forward. He also shared that he watched Alien vs. Predator to take notes from Tom Woodruff Jr.'s performance and also from the other actors' performances to understand the movements of the creature. He said:
"After being cast, I went back and watched the first three movies in particular. I was looking for movement cues in those three to try and accurately continue on the legacy of the performers who had come before me. I also watched “Alien vs. Predator” a few times."
Apart from getting help from the films on the movement of the Xenomorph, he also drew information from other media sources, such as Google and Pinterest, to incorporate the still movements into his portrayal of the creature. He stated:
"I went through Pinterest and Google Images, looking for stills from comics and fan art and silhouettes that people had imagined of the Xenomorph. I tried to incorporate these still moments into the movement to keep it as authentic as possible."
Cameron Brown did his best to portray the creature as authentically as possible with the help of several sources and brought back the formidable creature on screen again, which was loved by the fans of the franchise. Besides sharing about how he brought the creature to life on Alien: Earth, Brown also shared how comfortable he got with the suit.
He stated that much has changed since the 70s when the first Xenomorph suit was introduced. The innovative techniques of modern-day technology helped them create a modular suit that was easier for the actor to get in and out of and also be comfortable wearing it.
Alien: Earth is available to stream on Hulu.
