Everyone knows that the Nostromo encountering the Space Jockey in Alien was how humanity became aware of the xenomorphs, but Alien: Earth is about to rewrite that story. Like other Alien prequels that have boldly chest-busted before, the upcoming FX sci-fi series begins with the premise that the extraterrestrials from the 1979 film were lurking around before Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) ever thought about picking up a flamethrower.
A new teaser trailer for Alien: Earth has just arrived, and it establishes that these aliens are coming to our planet after a spaceship loses control and crashes on terra firma. Basically, Alien: Earth suggests an alternate outcome for the original film; what if a human spacecraft was overtaken by xenomorphs and ended up on Earth?
