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
