26 Prometheus
Starring: Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce
Director: Ridley Scott
Out: 8th June 2012
Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe, but somewhere in development this turned from a straight prequel into ‘something else’. Indeed it sounds like the Aliens we know may now turn out to be little more than cameos. Still, Ridley Scott’s directing a deep space thriller and that’s something to relish. Rapace (Girl With’ Dragon Tattoo) will play a scientist on board the ‘Prometheus’ alongside corporate explorer Charlize Theron. Michael Fassbender will play an android. Scott has said it’ll be set 30 years before Alien and focus on the origins of the ‘space jockey’ creature seen near the alien eggs in the original. Scott isn’t the director he was, but still has great visual style.
