Charlize Theron

“A Look Back” is a series of posts we here at Caughtonset.com feature weekly. It’s as simple as the title makes it sound. Each Friday we will take “A Look Back” to the set of a newly released film. Look at pictures from the set today, then watch the movie tonight.

Charlize Theron always looks great, well except for that time she played a monster, and the pictures I've sen from Prometheus are no different. Prometheus hits theaters today and takes up the challenge of taking the number one spot from Snow White and the Huntsman. With the amount of star power in this film, including Theron, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Alba and director Ridley Scott, it should be able to overtake Theron's other movie while also battling with Dreamworks' Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted.

"So far this Summer, it's always been pretty clear which movie would wind up taking the top spot at the box office each weekend. That's definitely not the case this weekend, though, as highly-anticipated sci-fi flick Prometheus squares off against the third installment in DreamWorks' Madagascar series. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is reaching 4,258 locations, which is the 11th-widest release ever (second-widest for an animated movie behind Shrek Forever After), while Prometheus is no slouch either at 3,394 venues (10th all-time for an R-rated movie). Both movies should earn over $40 million, though from there it's tough to call."

I'm not sure who will win this race, but it should be pretty exciting for the rest of us. Since we can go and see both movies we have plenty of entertaining options for the weekend. Who do you think will win this weekend's box office battle? Let us know in the comments section below.

Noomi Rapace

Is that Elizabeth Shaw? No and yes. It's actually Noomi Rapace as the character Elizabeth Shaw on the set of Prometheus in pictures released earlier this week. The new Ridley Scott directed film, scheduled for a June 8 release, was shot at Pinewood Studios in the UK. Synopsis from imdb.com -

"A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race."

As a member of the human race, I believe I can speak for all of us when I say I sure hope they win. Expect to spend most of the movie on the edge of your seat as this Sci Fi horror flick looks to be a thriller. Prometheus also stars Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Michael Fassbender, Rafe Spall, Sean Harris and Stringer Bell. Yes I know he's an actor and his real name is Idris Alba. But I don't care what you say he'll always be Stringer Bell from The Wire in my eyes. I love that show.

Also seen on set are Rafe Spall, Sean Harris, director Ridley Scott and the beautiful Charlize Theron
