"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."

"I'm jumping into that straight off of ['Sherlock Holmes 2']. 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]. She's a scientist and is very bright. 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 see the movie."

Prometheus is set to hit theatres on June 8th!

Great casting!

I hope Darren Aronofsky nabs a good cast for The Wolverine quickly before all of the great Japanese actors sign on to The 47 Ronin movie

Dang I am looking forward to this film, and what is it with everything making prequels now a days? I'm not complaining about this one, but everyone is doing it.

So let me guess it has the same director, primse, story. So, Why are we doing this!

Exiles - 3/7/2011, 1:34 PM

its not a prequel

Spock - 3/7/2011, 1:38 PM

So i guess they will introduce a new "PredAlien" creature?

I'm glad it's keeping connected to the Alien franchise. I just hope it's as good as the earlier movies and not the AVP garbage or Predators...
