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.

Franco is probably fine, but Hathaway just doesn't say "gritty space adventure heroine" to me.

What HelaGood and Dane said!:D

NOOMI RAPACE AS THE LEAD CHARACTER
Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Mads Mikkelsen as the male lead character.
Stephen Lang, Idris Elba, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tadanobu Asano and Paul Bettany as the other lead characters.
Let Ridley Scott do what he wants with it and you have a great mother(fricking) movie!

I'm suddenly getting a swell of excitement and hope for the project.
