Comments on: Fox Happy With Damon Lindelof’s ‘Alien’ Prequel Script; Natalie Portman Tops Casting Wishlist https://staging2.theplaylist.net/fox-happy-with-damon-lindelofs-alien-20101013/ Sun, 15 Nov 2020 03:01:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: rodrigoperez https://staging2.theplaylist.net/fox-happy-with-damon-lindelofs-alien-20101013/#comment-24456 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 18:50:00 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=557#comment-24456 Also: I just don't personally understand while they feel the need to go with a female lead again, don't get me wrong, more female leads in action and genre films is needed, but it just feels funny that 30 years apart the one person able to kill off these creatures just happens to be female each time.

Maybe they should pull a Lucas and say she's Ripley's aunt?

Agree, Portman isn't exactly tough and someone like Rapace or Rodriguez is FAR better suited to play the Ripley-like lead. That said Portman looks pretty bad-ass in Your Highness, no joke.

She really went for it and in the NYCC clips we saw she looked fierce. Of course, it's a comedy, but still we were all impressed.

Noomi has already proven she can play tough. Street tough, yes, but it's not a big leap of the imagination to picture her as a military kick ass. I can easily picture her going all Ripley on the Alien.

Is she supposed to go all hard like her SNL skit? oh please… these alien films are the kind of territory you'd see a Michelle Rodriguez in.
