The newspaper says Rapace is not at liberty to talk too much about Prometheus, but she did give a little more insight into her character, Elizabeth Shaw:
"I play Elizabeth Shaw, researcher and archaeologist. She's British but was raised in Africa because her father was a missionary. From him she learned to believe in God, and she has a strong inner self.
She is the most complete person I have ever played. She has an inner light. She's very stubborn and determined.
She lost her parents when she was a child, so she's been alone from a young age. But she's very intelligent. I know that when one has to survive alone from an early age, one becomes strong.
But also fragile, because the hurt child within her hasn't been able to evolve in a natural way. You get easily hurt emotionally. She's full of hope, a dreamer, a little naive.
Halfway through the movie a lot of things happen and she turns into a fighter. Another part of her comes to life"
Aftenposten says her character sounds like she has a lot in common with the mother of all action heroines, Ellen Ripley:
"Yes, absolutely! There is a relationship there. I saw 'Alien' as a teenager and was blown away. Can it really be like that? She was the first female star. With 'Alien' and 'Thelma and Loise', Ridley has created a lot of hope and dreams"
Rapace is currently starring in Norwegian thriller 'Babycall', which premieres in Norway on October 7th and in Germany on January 5th, 2012.
There's no word yet when, or if, there will be an international release.

ReplyDeleteKFS.
why would anyone want to read the story?
ReplyDeletei stopped after like five lines and saw how long it was....will not read it.
ReplyDeleteIts not the actual synopsis, but its very close to the final product i think.
ReplyDeleteSounds like we're treading in alien v predator territory...maybe the visuals, direction and the acting will distract us from the story.
ReplyDeleteScott made it clear he's not going anywhere near the AVP franchise.
ReplyDeleteWill "Big Show" from WWE wrestling be in it?
