San Diego – Sydney Chandler wanted to attend San Diego Comic-with as a fan for years.
Therefore, it is “surreal” that the actor's first experience with the annual pop culture exhibition is to promote his next FX series “Alien: Earth”. Chandler stars in the “alien” prequel like Wendy, a young woman whose conscience has been transferred to an android.
“Being able to do it in this capacity is simply amazing,” he tells The Times before the premiere of Hall H of the program on Friday. “It's emotional because we work on this for a long time and I learned a lot … I'm a kind of words.”
However, he has words of thanks, even for what he has learned from his character.
“His trip to discover how to defend himself and stop only two feet taught me a lot,” says Chandler. “I am a thinker too much. I am an anxious person. I would have run as fast. I would not be as brave as she, but she taught me … that only two feet are being stopped, and that is enough. That is powerful.”
Even before the Show Hall H panel, fans have gathered on the sidewalk outside the San Diego Hotel to take a look at Chandler and his “Alien: Earth” Mates Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin and Babou Ceesay, along with the creator Noah Hawley and the executive producer of David Zucker, in his Short circuit to those who transport the center of the world convention.
On the trip, Hawley does not betray people who see the first episode.
“I really believe that, in a strange way, he plays for all ages because it is about growing at some level,” says the showrunner. “But it is also 'alien', and it is a meditation on corporate power and power.”
Curled up on the bus with Lawther and Blenkin, Ceesay is surprised to know that this is the first time he attends San Diego Comic-Con for all three. There are many ribs of good character while talking about the first interviews they have completed in the event.
“I simply want to make jokes with you all the time,” says Lawther as he looks towards his cast partners. “It seems quite stunned in experience, and I had to remind myself that I am a professional.”
“Sometimes the British sarcasm instinct simply enters,” Blenkin adds.
Its playful dynamic continues while joking about the other panel of Ceesay, and also behind the stage in the Hall H while trying to sneak to each other in the dark.
After the panel, the cast is taken to look for video interviews and sign posters in a fans in a cabin on the exhibition floor. (“Timothy, you are the man!”, Shouts a fan that passes.
“It is such a safe space for people who simply enjoy cinema and enjoy cinema,” says Chandler about Comic-Con. “And that is me. I am a complete nerd for all this, so just to be close to that group, it reminds me why I love the movie so much in the first place.”
