Noah Hawley confirms Sigourney Weaver did not voice Muthur in Alien: Earth
Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley recently spoke with Collider before the release of Episode 5 and revealed numerous details about the series.
During the discussion, Hawley was asked if the star of the original 1979 Alien film, Sigourney Weaver, was the person who voices MU-TH-UR in the series. Hawley said, “It’s not. It’s not Sigourney.” Speaking of who voiced the MU-TH-UR, the creator disclosed, “One of our editors, Robin [August], is the voice of MU-TH-UR, and it started out as… in post, someone’s got to say it, and so she temped in, and then, of course, we tried to cast the voice from voice performers, and no one was as good as her. So she’s now in the show as well.”
MU-TH-UR is an artificial intelligence that helped to run Weaver’s character’s ship in the original 1979 Alien movie, the USCSS Nostromo.
While speaking with Deadline about how the ship in Episode 5 is a tribute to the Nostromo, Hawley said, “It’s literally the same thing. We used the original blueprints. Most of the rooms, the bridge, the mess hall, hallways, they’re literally copied from the Nostromo. The cryo-chamber is bigger, though, and the comms room is bigger. The first thing that you need to establish in translating something from film to television is authenticity. And so it has to feel like Alien. We have to show the audience, not only is this Alien, but it’s Ridley Scott’s Alien.”
