When you think of the shady “company man” role, you picture a weasely Paul Reiser type… not Charlize Theron. Yet a corporate hardliner is just who the beauty plays in Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS, so don’t go thinking she’s your new Ripley.
Theron talked her PROMETHEUS part with Total Film and laid out some of what we can expect:
“I actually don’t play the heroine in it; that’s Noomi Rapace. I play somewhat of a villain in it.”
“She’s not believer, she’s not a scientist, she is the red tape that everyone has to go through… She’s working with the company that’s sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third act. She’s more quiet thunder.”
When asked if there will be a scene in PROMETHEUS similar to the legendary chest-burst sequence from ALIEN, Theron said: “Maybe! I mean if you’re a Ridley Scott fan and you love the genre, then you’re going to be happy. You’re going to be very, very happy.”
Get ready to be happy on JUNE 8, 2012.
