Just finished reading this. Unlike the re-write, it makes sense! I can even forgive its Erich Von Danikeniness. If they’d shot this version, Noomi Rapace would have been out of the picture. She’s too delicate for the character as its written here. You’d have needed someone much more physically imposing. Charlize Theron perhaps, with someone else in the role she eventually inhabited.

This better be good. The first Prometheus was a terrible let down. Not visually, Scott’s got an amazing eye, but the script was an abomination.
