Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS Still Has A “Connecting Vein” With ALIEN

We keep hearing that Ridley Scott‘s new sci-fi flick PROMETHEUS which was initially meant as ALIEN prequel, the story would still have ‘strands of Alien’s DNA’, but how exactly would that work? One of its stars Michael Fassbender who’s set to play an android in the film explained to MTV just a bit without spoiling much..

“Oh, absolutely. There’s a definite connecting vein,”
“You realize you’re part of something else, but it’s definitely in keeping with the old ones.”
“It’s new, yet it’s in keeping with the old traditions as well. But there’s a whole new revelation within this film.”
“There’s action in it, but the intelligence is what struck me when I read it. It’s more sort of like the original ones. There are things happening and building, and the intelligence of the first two-thirds of the film gets you ready for the action.”
“I need to sort out my posture a little bit. I want to be as tall as I can standing next to those aliens!”

Also starring Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron
