While speaking to
LA TIMES - HERO COMPLEX, Michael Fassbender talked about his latest project,
Prometheus. Fassbender is currently on his third week of filming the Ridley Scott helmed prequel to the
Alien Franchise.
On the filming of Prometheus: “I walk on the set and I feel like I’m walking on a spaceship,” Fassbender said. “It’s breathtaking. All the various panels and screens and it’s just dealing with a top-notch art department and carpenters and the riggers and everything that goes into putting that together. It’s just, well, breathtaking, all of it.”
On the secrecy of his character in the film: “I feel I’ve got it at my fingertips, it’s there but challenging and, you know, I’m excited. I’ve got a few ideas that I’m running with and I think I’ve got a grasp on it but it’s always something that, organically, moving on its own course. I’m having a lot of fun with it. There’s a lot of interesting quirks and niches to him and I’m having a lot of fun exploring it.”
On workingwith director Ridley Scott: “It’s great. He’s just so precise and fun and mischievous and just full of interesting and quirky ideas for the character. They come to you in passing but then he lets you run with it and there’s a lot of freedom there. I’m really just enjoying it and everything in general, the whole crew is so veteran and talented from all departments down, the camera, wardrobe, makeup, props, the works — you’ve got the cream of the crop and it’s an honor just to be allowed to be part of it.”
The Ridley Scott directed
Prometheus hits theaters June 8, 2012, also starring Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, and Logan Marshall-Green.
