Ireland's own Michael Fassbender has just been confirmed as the male lead and will star opposite Noomi Rapace in Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus,' the sci-fi project that was once an Alien prequel incarnation, but is now an original movie that Scott has described as having traces of 'Alien' DNA.
The Kerry man is to play an android, and has been in talks for the role since the project was green lit. Further casting announcements are expected to be announced soon with a large significant role to be played by an actress expected to be either Charlize Theron or Angelina Jolie still to be announced, as well as further male cast additions.
