Creating Shaw

Rapace first met with Ridley in August 2010. After an exhaustive audition process, the director finally cast her in January 2011 as Elizabeth Shaw. Playing a British woman for the first time meant that Rapace had to perfect her accent, and worked with a dialect coach on set for the duration of filming.

“It’s a great honour and I’m really excited,” the actress said when first cast. “Ridley’s so passionate. He really loves movies.” On her character, she added: “She’s a believer. I think there are some similarities [to Ripley], but she’s very much her own [person]. I don’t think people will compare her so much to Ripley once they actually see the movie.”

      Just out of interest, do most people tend to track down a review of a major film before going to see it? I'll usually read one if i come across it, but don't generally track down reviews of the big films i'm going to see. If a film gets a bad review (or, i suppose a really positive one), would it have an affect on how you enjoyed the film? If a major film reviewer, such as the mighty Total Film, either raved about or completely dismissed a new blockbuster, would you find yourself almost having to agree with them while watching the film too? i sometimes have watched a film thinking "the review said this was awful, therefore i should also find it awful, but i'm not" or vice-versa with a good review.

      I tend to pay attention to just 2 reviews.. Empire and Total Film. Normally I'll just read the last bit (at the bottom with the star rating) and then read the whole thing after I've seen the film. With something like Prometheus the overall rating won't have any affect on whether I see the film not.

      'Another reason it’s unlikely to happen? Ridley Scott’s going back to “the planet”, or LV-426, himself, and he’s left Ripley at home…' Ah, but he hasn't. I believe the planetoid in Prometheus to be LV-223, or LV-233. Same system, different rock.

      Still, what's a planetoid between Zeta Reticulans? Chin chin!
