Noomi Rapace describes Prometheus role

So far we've heard plenty from Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, but it's been surprisingly quiet on the first person to be cast in the film Noomi Rapace, we'll she's finally spoken out on her role;

    "I play Elizabeth Shaw, researcher and archaeologist. She's British but was raised in Africa because her father was a missionary. From him she learned to believe in God, and she has a strong inner self.

    She is the most complete person I have ever played. She has an inner light. She's very stubborn and determined.

    She lost her parents when she was a child, so she's been alone from a young age. But she's very intelligent. I know that when one has to survive alone from an early age, one becomes strong.

    But also fragile, because the hurt child within her hasn't been able to evolve in a natural way. You get easily hurt emotionally. She's full of hope, a dreamer, a little naive.

    Halfway through the movie a lot of things happen and she turns into a fighter. Another part of her comes to life"

    Does her character have anything in common with Ellen Ripley?

    "Yes, absolutely! There is a relationship there. I saw 'Alien' as a teenager and was blown away. Can it really be like that? She was the first female star. With 'Alien' and 'Thelma and Loise', Ridley has created a lot of hope and dreams"

Inevitable that any strong female character would be compared to Ripley.

Even more so because she's in an Alien film. Doesn't matter to me, adding religion and emotional immaturity should differentiate them enough.
