The relatively unknown actor has appeared on TV in 24, The O.C. and Dark Blue, and in the movies Across the Universe, Brooklyn’s Finest and most recently, Devil. He has joined the cast as Holloway, a crew member on the space ship and a love interest for Noomi Rapace’s character, the scientist Elizabeth Shaw. Prometheus will be Ridley Scott’s first sci-fi movie since Blade Runner. The much-anticipated film is an indirect prequel to Scott’s classic Alien from 1979. An original film, it will be a spinoff set in the same universe and is rumoured to reveal the origins of the mysterious Space Jockey from the first film. However, plot details are a closely guarded secret for the time being. The original draft of the script was written by Jonathan Spaihts before Ridley Scott asked Damon Lindelof (Lost, Cowboys & Aliens) to revise it.
Logan Marshall-Green is the latest in a number of casting announcements for the film. Joining him and Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) will be Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Charlize Theron (The Road), Idris Elba (Thor), Sean Harris (Harry Brown), Katie Dickie (Red Road) and Rafe Spall (Hot Fuzz).
Prometheus will begin filming later this month in the UK and is scheduled for release on June 8th 2012.
