Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/em>‘s Alexander Siddig<\/strong> will be appearing in a new audio play, titled Alien: River of Pain<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Alien: River of Pain<\/em> is set between the first and second Alien<\/em> films, and is the story of the birth and backstory of Alien<\/em>‘s Newt. It “explores the destruction of Hadley’s Hope, a research and mining colony in 2157.”<\/p>\n

“I’m a massive commercial movie freak,” said Siddig. “I sort of lost track of the Alien<\/em> movies a bit – quite a lot got made! But I really enjoyed the first one and was always interested in watching the subsequent ones.<\/p>\n

“Recording this, I recognized a lot of the tropes. A young child, vulnerable, a big empty space station, lots of eggs…very suspenseful and terrifying situations which is pretty much the refrain of most of the Alien<\/em> movies.”<\/p>\n

Siddig will take on the role of the “ruthless” Doctor Reese. “He puts science above everything – and puts everybody at enormous risk because of it,” said Siddig. “I’d like to say, ‘But he has a heart’ – but I’m not sure he does. I couldn’t find it.”<\/p>\n

Others involved in Alien: River of Pain<\/em> include Anna Friel, Philip Glenister, Michelle Ryan, Colin Salmon<\/strong> and Mark Warren<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alien: River of Pain<\/em> can be pre-ordered here<\/a>. It will be released on April 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
