Charlize Theron Joins PROMETHEUS Cast

Variety is reporting that Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron will star in PROMETHEUS for Twentieth Century Fox.

Theron joins previously-announced cast of Noomi Rapace (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO) and Michael Fassbender (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS). Ridley Scott will direct and produce the project along with David Giler, Walter Hill and Tony Scott. Project was originally billed as an untitled “Aliens” prequel until Fox named the project “Prometheus” in January.

Michael Fassbender Joins Cast of Scott’s PROMETHEUS

The Hollywood Reporter has news that Michael Fassbender (300, FISH TANK, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS) will star opposite Noomi Rapace in 20th Century Fox’s PROMETHEUS.

He was offered the Prometheus role last year (when it was still the ALIEN prequel), with talks on and off throughout the fall. Much of the story line is shrouded in secrecy, but Scott said the movie will have “Alien DNA.” Fassbender is playing an android.

Ridley Scott is directing the movie, which just shifted release dates, moving from March 2012 to a high-profile summer release of June 8, 2012.

You can see Fassbender next in JANE EYRE with Mia Wasikowska on March 11, 2011 and as Magneto in Fox’s X-MEN: FIRST CLASS on June 3, 2011.

Ridley Scott’s ALIEN Film, PROMETHEUS, In Theaters March 9, 2012

Press Release From 20th Century Fox:

Twentieth Century Fox announced today that Ridley Scott will direct Prometheus, an original science fiction epic, for worldwide release on March 9, 2012. The initial draft of the script was written by Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour) from Scott’s idea. Damon Lindelof (“Lost,” Star Trek) and Scott have since been working together on the current version which has expanded the story into new directions.

Story details are being closely guarded so as not to spoil surprises for moviegoers, but Scott explained the outlines of the film and its genesis as follows: “While ‘Alien’ was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of ‘Alien’s’ DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn’t be more pleased to have found the singular tale I’d been searching for, and finally return to this genre that’s so close to my heart.”

“In a world flooded with prequels, sequels and reboots,” said Lindelof. “I was incredibly struck by just how original Ridley’s vision was for this movie. It’s daring, visceral and hopefully, the last thing anyone expects. When I sat in a movie theater as a kid, feet raised off the floor for fear that something might grab my ankles, I never dreamed in my wildest imagination I would one day get to collaborate with the man responsible for it. Working alongside him has been nothing short of a dream come true.”

Of the five major roles to be cast, Noomi Rapace is the first actor signed to star in the film. The young Swedish actress landed the role of scientist Elizabeth Shaw after Scott saw her portrayal of fictional Lisbeth Salander in the film The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, for which she was lauded by Time magazine as a 2010 Performance of the Year. Rapace starred in all three entries of the breakout global franchise based on Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy of books (The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest are the other two entries), which have collectively grossed more than $212 million worldwide.

The other major roles will be cast shortly.
