Alien invasion photosounder4/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Invasion is a show with an ensemble of characters who each have plenty going on in their own lives – enough probably to sustain a drama series for each of them, even without aliens thrown into the mix. Leaning into what might really happen in an alien invasion scenario also means that Kinberg’s starting point is the human drama. And it’s based on as much scientific research as I could possibly do into something that has not yet actually happened.” Burning Things Up Sam Neill as Sheriff John Bell Tyson in Invasion. So yeah, the aliens are different in our show than you’ve ever seen before, both visually, and in terms of their intent. So, I love alien stories like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Arrival stories that are sort of slower-burn, character-y stories that make me feel like, ‘Oh, this is the way it would really happen, and this is the way people would really react’. That was a foreign entity in many ways, that was tragic and traumatic. We learned things that were constantly evolving and changing. “We saw in a tragic way over the span of the last two years that science is not infallible when it came to COVID. And that mystery unfolds the way that most mysteries unfold in real life, which is slowly with clues that you have to follow, that you have to lean into, that science has to understand. “They are ones that are probably more akin to what would really happen, which is: the aliens show up, and there’s a mystery to why they’re here, what they’re doing, what they are. “My favorite alien shows, movies, stories are ones in which the aliens don’t just show up and start blowing things up,” says Kinberg, who practically has science-fiction running through his veins as writer and producer behind a raft of sci-fi titles as well as many of the X-Men projects. Perhaps Simon Kinberg can shed some more light. Billy Barratt, who plays schoolboy Casper Morrow in the series, shares his response to seeing the aliens for the first time: “Mind blown! I was like, ‘What is this? This is crazy.’” Really cool, and very scary, he adds. The trailer gives a glimpse of what they’re about and that’s where Anderson points us: “There’s something in there I think, you can see some idea of something.” You’ll definitely be able to see our version of what an alien is or what an alien means.” ![]() I think that’s what makes the show interesting and different, and makes it special. And I’ll just say we’re gonna push that idea of what an alien looks like, or what an alien even does. We’ve seen these cliché versions of aliens. “Could you imagine, good-looking, supermodel aliens coming down? Doing the catwalk? Listen, I’ll say this. We’re asking him to tease the aliens for us because the reveal unfolds slowly as the series progresses and we gradually begin to understand what they are. “The aliens are handsome like Brad Pitt,” jokes actor Shamier Anderson who plays US soldier, Trevante Ward. Brad Pitt-Alikes Shamier Anderson as Trevante in Invasion. Fandom chats to co-creator and showrunner Simon Kinberg and actors Shamier Anderson, Firas Nassar, and Billy Barratt who each reveal some classified alien tidbits. However, in new Apple TV+ series Invasion, the aliens are very, very different, according to the show’s creators and cast. The point is, we all have an idea of what to expect when an alien is revealed on screen. And then sometimes they’re humanoid, like the guys in Mars Attacks or Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Sometimes, they’re Alien-type insectoid creatures designed to evoke maximum horror sometimes they’re kinda cute like ET – though you might argue there are some similarities looks-wise between ET and the Xenomorph. ![]()
