Film 810: Prometheus
Trivia: Gemma Arterton, Carey Mulligan, Olivia Wilde, Anne Hathaway, Abbie Cornish and Natalie Portman were considered
for the role of Elizabeth Shaw.
Was originally conceived as a
prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, but Scott
announced his decision to turn it into an original film with Noomi Rapace (who was already
set to star) still in the cast as one of five main characters. Some time later
it was confirmed that while the movie would take place in the same universe as
Alien and greatly reference that movie, it would mostly be an original movie
and not a direct prequel.
The androids' names in the
Alien films follow an alphabetical pattern: in Alien it's Ash, in Aliens and Alien³ it's Bishop, in Alien: Resurrection it's Call and in
this film it's David.
Designer H.R. Giger, who worked on the
original design of the Xenomorph Alien, was brought in to
assist in reverse-engineering the design of the Aliens in the film.
Charlize Theron found herself
struggling during her action scenes due to her smoking habit, particularly the
segments that required her to run through sand in boots weighing 30 pounds (14
kg).
