Also nice to see Ridley Scott's GOAT status confirmed by the makers of Alien: Earth:

"Wow, f**k me. I know that ship, and I know that world." - Ridley Scott Scott Free’s Chief Creative Officer, David W. Zucker says Ridley Scott was quite impressed when he saw the sets of the USCSS Maginot from the new Alien: Earth series, which closely resembles the Nostromo.

It looks like filming at the Piazza Kennedy/Palazzo dei Congressi area in Rome may have started this afternoon, although the cast hasn't been spotted yet. Post-apocalyptic semi's and buses can now also be seen lining the streets.

Additional videos and photos of "The Dog Stars" set at Eur in Rome. Conflicting reports from Italian media whether filming has already taken place or whether it will still take place there, but going by the videos it looks like they are still busy dressing the set.
