Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes in Captain America: The First Avenger) joined the cast of Political Animals according to Deadline. Stan will play the son of a former First Lady played by Sigourney Weaver. The 6 episode USA drama will focus on the fictional political family based in Washington, DC.
Here’s hoping Stan will be seen again in a Captain America 2 as Bucky reborn at The Winter Soldier.
Sigourney Weaver is the reigning Queen of Science Fiction with the 4 Alien films, 2 Ghostbusters movies, and Avatar. I personally love her non-genre performances in The Year of Living Dangerously, Death and the Maiden and Gorillas in the Mist. The woman still has many great roles ahead but deserves an honorary Oscar just for this body of work. Back to why I’m posting…
With Prometheus being a prequel to Alien, what does the woman who played Ellen Ripley have to say about Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction, the story of Prometheus and working with the director on Alien. Here’s what Weaver told Movieweb.
“Fox and I disagreed on how the franchise should continue. But I’m glad it’s Ridley Scott doing it, and I’ll be as curious as anyone, or maybe more curious, to see it. I think he took my suggestion. Fox wanted to go to earth and I said: ‘That’s so boring. Who wants to see aliens on earth?’ I said ‘go back to the planet’.”
“We worked very hard together, and I certainly credit him in making Ripley an everyman character, not just a damsel in distress, but a character who is not giving up. James Cameron was also a breath of fresh air. He is a champion of strong women who never thinks in terms of gender characteristics.”
Sigourney Weaver will appear in Avatar 2. For more of Weaver’s interview here’s the Movieweb link.
