From Prometheus News.net. ‘I’m running around in underwear’ – Naomi on Prometheus Posted December 10, 2011 by Jonesy In a recent interview with the New York Times, Naomi briefly mentioned Prometheus and gave a little more information out. In June she will star as a scientist with a deep faith in God in Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” his fiercely guarded science-fiction offshoot of “Alien” for which he cast her from their first meeting. “I didn’t tell her but decided she would be the female lead in ‘Prometheus,’ ” he wrote in an e-mail. “My first impression was how different she was from the person in ‘Dragon.’ I realized here was a great actress. The real thing.” Directing her, he added, was one of the best experiences he has had. “It’s my first big American movie in which she’s the heart,” Ms. Rapace said of her character, Elizabeth Shaw. “She’s the one you follow to the end.” Ms. Rapace’s unwillingness to shrink from physical torment — “In some scenes, I’m running around in underwear, doing things that are quite hard core,” she said of Elizabeth Sounds a little like Ripley.

""Ms. Rapace’s unwillingness to shrink from physical torment"" that explain what we see in the trailer ...so she is probably the first to "fall" or being "contaminated".... but she will not bow thanks to her faith or willing force ?? ....more and more interesting ...

Perhaps a mutated fetus is growing inside and it may be dangerous for her and the crew and they want to abort it. Being of strong faith would prevent her from that and she would resist them believing that God was right whatever the reasons for her condition. Could be related to what she is heard to say in the leaked teaser: "You've got to stop." - may be a person trying to tell her to stop the pregnancy "help me, help me please" "I was wrong." "We were so wrong." "I'm so sorry." - her realizing she should have aborted the creature.

Very interesting idea ...even if the "we were so wrong" contraddict it a bit ...btw you are sure that all the trailer phrases are from noomi ? Some sound a bit different ...but not of english mother ( and neither cousin ) language ...

Frantz I said the "you've got to stop" might be another person talking to Noomi. As for the "We" I am sure there were some nefarious characters that want the deformity to be born for whatever reason" maybe an android or two : )

BTW I think Rick was the one that first came up with the fetus idea a while back on this site. The abortion part just fits since it would be a hot button topic and one that relates to her faith.

Think being a good screen writer and a good director they would want to find quite a few issues that the audience could more or less relate to without having to have lived in the future.. I mean seeing stuff get blown up and space ships and aliens is fine for kids but I want more story.

I think Repace will be in the film to the bitter end so can't see her being the carrier. It's got to be Therone as the first. I think Repace will be the one that believed in good in the space jockeys and then changes when they become all malevolent..............

Racepace could still be in it to the end and be a carrier of something at the same time. I had the idea earlier that maybe she is carrying the mother of all facehuggers. Maybe we never see it get born on film but. maybe it is a foreshadow to alien and we see a shady x-ray image of what looks like it during a medical scan.

She states in an interview she is a survivor

Maybe being a survivor is good for her but bad for everyone else? What if she lets this thing develop in her out of a strong survival instinct and faith in God to the detriment of the human race? Also many a strong survivor eventually run out of 9 lives and pay the reaper. Like a mountain climbers with too much hubris. I know I am casting a disparaging light on the Shaw character while the consensus here is that she will be a heroine but remember Alien doesn't exactly start all Rosy. Obviously the alien eggs remain intact, a space jockey dies and the company remains as evil as ever. On top of that I don't see why they would basically rehash the Ripley character to boot. I hope their is more to her than meets the eye right now.

that's very very wisely thought out and I wouldn't be surprised if you nailed it.

I agree Frantz that is why I kind of hope everyone gets wiped out. Ripley will then remain the strongest willed person and the only one who can out live this horror. I think that was the intention.

well we can assume that the most probable finale is that everyone die BUT the jockeys and the aliens are destroyed ..except a crashed vessel of course ....however i still hope in something more happy ^^
