ZetaReticuli
MemberOvomorphMay 10, 2012I like that. I'm glad that not all the cast are uber-beautiful (the ones that are happen to be fantastic performers anyway). But Ford (?) looks slightly kooky and androgynous with that old-school page-boy hair do and off centre attractiveness. Any thoughts?

I think that there's nothing sure b4 the Movie!
Now every info can be fake and every pics/trailers could b' interpret wrong!
(sorry for hard-core Aliens fans but : ) 4 Example:
in trailers of "Predators", the character of Brody - Royce, was taken at gunpoint by 15 Yautja's 3-dotted red foresights;
In the Movie, it was only 1 Predator!

Alien DNA,
If I was savy with videos and audio... I would make you a Prometheus trailer interwoven with Bowie singing Ziggy Stardust live.. In the meantime, we'll just have to imagine it.. lol.

That don't arf look like an Android hair style though ... lol ...
But agree Kate's a beautiful woman ... need to see more of her in the movies ... this film will open gates for a lot of the actors (and actressess but they're now known as actors) ...

Totally agree with you. I saw her in a Scottish film where she looks much more attractive. Maybe they're trying to portray science officers as plain? Don't know. How many scientists/archaeologists have you seen that look like Noomi Repace? I can tell you as someone who studied biology in college, not too many people looked like Repace OR Logan Marshall Green...I WISH!!

**SPOILER**
[url=http://www.movieweb.com/news/prometheus-story-spoilers-revealed-by-actress-kate-dickie] Kate Dickie apparently only makes it through 28 minutes of the film[/url]
She ain't too bad looking in "[url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471030/]Red Road[/url]"(2006).

In between charlize and noomi, it hardly makes sense for me to look elsewhere, and yes ofcourse SJ and Aliens or whatever creepy that is.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

In that article it says that her character is responsible for awakening the other crew members from hypersleep. That seems odd, doesnt david do it?
That whole article seems full of bogus info actually. A bunch of skeleton creatures chasing around the crew for food...

I mentioned the connections to The thing and To Serve Man on another thread... I think the pictograms show the Aliens telling Man where they will be going. They Harvested people and took them to be Food Of The Gods!!

That shot is particularly unforgiving, but I don't think she looks that bad.

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

I think this is a deceptively interesting observation, but a tricky one to comment on - the woman might read this.
Leaving leaving any ungentlemanly comment on my personal perception of her attractiveness aside, she certainly has physical character - and she has what would broadly be Character, not Lead looks, lets face it: she's not Charlize - but it's worth pointing out that the most attractive are often a long, long way from actually being the sexiest: but's that's another story.
What's most interesting about this observation, for me, is the choice in favour of character and also something else she has, which I really like for this entire cast: her age.
They all seem very obviously in a reasonable 30 - 45 age range and to be playing their ages.
I'm just relieved, for a subject like this, it's a cast that isn't full of attractive people who are probably excellent, but only nudging 25 - and having to speak in a way that most 25 year olds do not speak. Neither is there an obvious "youngster" that's going to require saving, or protection or, obviously be on a, "journey to adulthood", in the course of the Story...
Similar to Alien, it's full of people who are [i]already[/i] now well settled into adulthood - with all the difficulty that process involves plainly evidenced on their faces, no matter how attractive they are.
Personally, I like that.

Irishandroid, you're right, I personally think she's a hottie on some Googled pics, nice smile and lovely legs, but never seen her acting abilities yet. Same with Noomi Rapace, but from what I've heard about the latter in 'Dragon Tattoo' I trust she'll deliver big style. Despite my inital misgivings of her in this film, remembering Charlize's performance in 'Monster' seals the deal for me as far as she's concerned. Idris Elba in 'Luther' is phenomenal - why didn't they make his character South London? lol. But Kate Dickie - mmm, she's an enigma that's got me curiouser and curiouser...........
