The casting rumors are coming at a fair pelt for Ridley Scott's upcoming Alien prequel. Both Natalie Portman and Noomi Rapace have been mentioned in connection with the female lead, and now James Franco and Anne Hathaway can be added to the list for unspecified roles.
Bloody Disgusting report that both actors are in talks, but nothing has been signed yet. Apparently Fox and director Ridley Scott were delighted with
Lost writer Damon Lindelof's script, and are eager to get things moving. So expect some official casting announcements soon.
