Exclusive: Prometheus 2 Casting Update! [CONFIRMED]Author: Chris Picard | May-19-2013 3:33 PM
News on Prometheus 2 has been slow as of late. We're nearing the one year mark since Prometheus hit theaters last June and in the past month and half we've heard some concerning news, followed by some confusing news. At first we heard that Prometheus 2 was struggling to find a story, which was quickly debunked by Prometheus co-scribe Damon Lindelof, when he personally put the rumor to rest. However, today we have some more positive news for those eager for the Prometheus sequel!
I received an email this afternoon by someone who claims to be working close to the Prometheus 2 project. This individual, who will remain anonymous, offered information on Prometheus 2's casting situation.
According to the source, Ridley Scott, who is still set to direct Prometheus 2 has apparently met many times with an English actor named Rik Barnett for an undisclosed role in Prometheus 2. The source adds that Rik's potential role could be connected to Noomi Rapace's character (Elizabeth Shaw).
Our source adds that until the script is finalized, anything is possible and nothing is final, but they do hint at the strong possibility that Rik Barnett will have some kind of role in Prometheus 2. The fact that Ridley is reportedly personally meeting with this actor on multiple occasions, suggests that his role will not be a minor one and with the hint that his role could relate to Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw adds further speculation!
Wow, I'm surprised at the amount of Prometheus hate. Was it perfect? No, there was a substantial amount of character stupidity throughout the movie. However, I thought the film itself was quite good as a whole, and am very much looking forward to seeing the story evolve in the sequel.
Will she make it to the Engineers' planet?
Will she be greeted with open arms by a race that appears to be extremely violent toward humans?
Will it be explained why the Engineers appear to idolize Xenomorphs(the mural in the black goo room)?
Will the logistics of the Engineers' WMD-holding-world be explained? I mean, why in the hell were there so many ships(and tanks of black goo) there?
Was earth the only planet they grew humans on?
Will she get an explanation as to why they created humans in the first place?
Will she get an explanation as to why they wanted to eradicate humans?
Will the Xenomorph seen at the end of the film play any sort of crucial role?
Etc.
Those questions left me wanting more.
