Yes, Virginia, We Have Another “Alien” Spotting!
In the upcoming “Alien” prequel, directed by Ridley Scott (”American Gangster”), it’s being reported that Noomi Rapace is locked into the role of Elizabeth Shaw and notes that Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron are circling the film’s other major female role, Vickers. Fox claims the other roles will be cast soon. John Spaihts and Damon Lindelof drafted the film’s script. It’s reported that the prequel will be titled “Prometheus” (though IMDb.com still refers to it as “Untitled Alien Prequel #1″) and is scheduled for a March 9, 2012, release. There will be five major roles, two of which are female. Scott says that “Alien” was the jumping-off point for the new film, but as the creative process has evolved, a “new, grand mythology and universe” has been integrated and that the ideas tackled in the film are “unique, large and provocative.” Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?
