Michael Fassbender: The Theme of “Prometheus”

  The countdown to Prometheus is escalating. Michael Fassbender tells The Sci Fi Show in a new interview how the cast including Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Charlize Theron became part of Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction.

 “There’s always politics within, and that’s why, I think, this cast got together. The tempo, the pace, the intelligence of the script; each person has got their own agenda on that ship and it’s each a very individual agenda. Some people are there for the pay. Other people are there to get answers. Other people are there to hopefully attain some sort of secret. Others are there in somewhat of a spite journey. You’ve got all these collective relationships, individuals and motivations and that’s what makes quite intriguing even before the shit hits the fan.”

  I wanted to share this quote from Fassbender on the theme of the epic.

  “It’s basically about trying to find out if there was intervention in the birth of civilisation on planet Earth by other beings, which we come to know as Engineers, and whether they had a master plan in mind for us.”
