A Swedish actress, Noomi Rapace is best known for her role of Lisbeth Salander in the crime thriller films: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. She plays a weirdo, anti-social computer hacker with strong personality. And now, she is going to play Elizabeth Shaw in Scott’s Prometheus. Scott is keen on Noomi and in my opinion she is a perfect choice for Ripley-like heroine for the Alien prequel. What do you think about her? What role is she going to play in the movie? Is she going to be another Ripley? Any thoughts on this?

If you haven't seen any of the "The Girl" movies with Noomi she's a fantastic actress and is incredible in her role as Lisbeth Salander. I think Scott picked a winner with her as a 'Ripley' like character. She can totally deliver and possibly do better than Sigourney Weaver in the demands that a "Ripley" roll would ask for. my .02 -River

Noomi said: "This role will be tougher than Lisbeth Salander" "People think Lisbeth Salander was very physical, but there were only a few fighting scenes." "She's [Shaw] definitely her own [character]" "She's a scientist and is very bright. She's a believer. I think there are some similarities [to Ripley], but she's very much her own. I don't think people will compare her so much to Ripley once they see the movie." "I want to transform my body into something like a cat or a lion. One minute they're resting quietly, and then they can suddenly explode into action. I want to feel like whatever happens I'm prepared"

Ruh don't sell Noomi short. Watch Tattoo. If you have netflix stream it live. It's the best of the 3 movies. Scott it one of the most interesting films in 4 years. I read that in one brief shot in the Comic-Con clips is Noomi weilding a flame thrower on an Alien. She can be one intense, tough and physical actress. Look, Ripley is great and the first always feels like the best. Since Shaw is not a Ripley knock-off, Noomi gets a fair shot at it. Scott has been telling folks how impressed he is by her work. Go Noomi !
