Idris Elba says Prometheus "looks amazing!"

MTV Movies recently caught up with actor Idris Elba, who plays Captain Janek of the Prometheus space ship.

Elba doesn't give away any more information in this interview than we already know about Prometheus, but he does reveal that he's just seen some footage from the movie and seems very impressed so far:

"I just saw some of it literally last week. It looks amazing. It looks amazing!"

When asked the staple question of how Prometheus connects with Ridley Scott's original 'Alien', he replies with the scripted answer fans have probably heard a dozen times before:

"Ridley allowed us to live in his idea, his dream of what this film is about. Aliens aside, Ridley again creates a new character, a series of characters that are in a crazy predicament. It captures all the great DNA stuff of 'Aliens,' that's all in this film as well. But it's a different film altogether."
