The director explained that in 2016 Fox approached him about remaking Alien Nation. “Yeah, I’m working on a series right now,” Nichols revealed on the podcast.
Speaking with Roger and James Deakins on the Team Deakins podcast (thanks to Slashfilm for bringing this to our attention), Jeff Nichols revealed that his next big project would be a remake – or more of a reimagining – of the Graham Baker film as a 10-episode television series. Well, the core premise, at least - maybe not necessarily the story.
And do you remember that the director of Mud and Midnight Special was set to reboot it for Fox before the studio got bought by Disney, essentially killing the project? Well, it looks as though it still could be coming back. Hey, do you remember Alien Nation, the 1988 sci-fi buddy cop movie where James Caan got partnered with a humanoid alien police officer who could get drunk from spoiled milk played by Inigo Montoya himself, Mandy Patinkin? Seriously, it wasn’t a fever dream it was just the ‘80s.
