“I think we can all agree that the planet becomes much hotter and much wetter,” says Hawley and Bangkok is a tropical place full of rivers and channels. He originally introduced himself to Prodigy's soldiers who moved in the trains in New Siam, but when he visited Bangkok: “It became very clear: we will put people on boats. [and] It will help to sell this idea that the water has reclaimed part of the city. “
The Hawley design team built up a square mile of new Siam in Unreal Engine, the same graphics software that for the development of video games as Fortnite And Final Fantasy VII rebirth. According to Hawley: Humanity Minus, Humanity Plus and Humanity Prime (although this concept in the final cut of the series is not discussed on the screen).
“The higher you go, the richer you are and the lower you go, the poorer you are,” says Hawley. When miracle remedies descend there Maginot Crash, we see that “humanity minus” lives in dark underground huts, but when you get up the company's superstall tower, you stumble across a party with Louis XIV. High -rise building. Even higher that we first hit the CEO of Weyland-Yutani thousands of foot above another corporate cities (an unnoted chicagoer will recognize).
“Where are the adults” in a world led by trillionaires?
In our actual gift, Elon Musk, a 54-year-old man who still believes that 4/20 jokes are funny, is one of the first trillionaires. In the 22nd century of Alien: earthThe “youngest trillionair of all time” is the young cavalier, played by Samuel Blenkin, an egomaniac “boys' genius” who founded child prodigy at the age of 6 and is now in her early twenties.
“The CEO of this company says that it is Peter Pan,” says Hawley. “And then you read Peter Pan And you go: “This is a dark book.” He kidnaps these children, he brings them to this island, [and] It is implied that he gets rid of them when they grow up. “In a beautiful literary parallel, Kavalier creates the first hybrids in a research facility on a remote island called Neverland and then names them around Peter Pan'S Lost Boys.
In addition to his costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb, Hawley decided that cavalier would wear Pyjama without shoes throughout the series because he had everything in Prodigy City and Neverland. “Everything is his house,” says Hawley. “The thing I have observed is at a certain point, everything is only free. You don't feel the loss of money, you actually buy nothing or know the transactions.”
But Kavalier's ultra -grooming way of thinking also has an effect in the way he sees and treats other people. “Triage The Rescue to Income Bracket”, he points out his right man after the Maginot Crash transforms Prodigy City into a mass accident. Hawley says, cavalier “is a way that I feel when I look around the world in which I just live, what is: where are the adults? Where are the people who think more about tomorrow than today?”
“Retro futurism” meets brand new monsters
The first episode opens the MaginotWhere Hawley's production designers carefully created the appearance of Ridley Scott Nostromo. “That's what Foreigner For me, Hawley is, “It is retro futurism. It is this old cathode [ray] Pipe monitors. It is the green Ascii text. Are these crazy keyboards with the Egyptian hieroglyphic where you even know what you write? “
During 1979 Foreigner Hawley spent 40 minutes to establish the daily life of space truckers, and knew it Alien: earth had to achieve the same in just four minutes. “When you translate a film into television, your first job is authenticity,” says Hawley, so that the maginot is based on Ridley Scott Nostromo Blueprints “except for the props”.
