Production

In 2006, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer began production of another sequel to Species. An MGM/360 production, filming commenced in October, with Frank Mancuso Jr. returning as producer.

The producers wanted to go back to H. R. Giger's designs of the alien creature due to popularity with fans and the absence of these designs in the last installment Species III. The original look is apparent but with different color variations and new spikes on the aliens' wrists of the nemesis.

The film's title underwent several changes, starting as Species IV, Species: Quattro and finally Species – The Awakening. During pre-production the film was referred to as Species IV on movie websites. When an online trailer was released the film was called Species: Quattro. Eventually Nick Lyon, the director of the film, gave the film's final name on his official website.
