Prometheus will be a Blockbuster - Cast Update

News about Prometheus cast will invade us in the near future and the fact that Ridely Scott is directing the next film already makes it a much anticipated blockbuster.
Speaking from the set of "Sherlock Holmes" actress Noomi Rapace talked with people from MTV News about the future of Prometheus.

- "My character’s name is Elizabeth Shaw, and I’ll step into her shoes in March and be her for six months or something. It’s quite a long shoot. It’s unbelievable.She’s definitely her own character"

Playing the lead female role in a movie that is related to Alien franchise, will undoubtedly bring some performance comparisons with the character played by Sigourney Weaver, but it seems that Noomi is not too worried saying:
- "She’s a scientist and a very bright one.She’s a believer.
I think there are some similarities, but she’s very much her own.I don’t think people will compare her so much to Ripley once they actually see the movie" says Rapace."


Asked about working with Ridely Scott, Noomi adds:
- "It’s a great honor and I’m really excited … I’ve met him maybe seven or eight times and he’s so passionate. He really loves movies. He watches movies every night. He’s seen everything. We had a long chat on the phone — he’s in LA now — about my character. I have many ideas and he has many ideas, and now we’re starting to search and try to find her."
Meanwhile, english actor Rafe Spall has joined the cast in an unspecified role.
However it is or not related to Alien, Prometheus already has become one of most highly-anticipated upcoming movies.
Ridely Scott assembled a good cast and we canot wait until we hear more about this movie and maybe an cast update.
